We, the undersigned, urge the Oregon City School District Board to halt the planned termination of valued school staff due to budget cuts. Our teachers, and support staff are the backbone of our schools, and their loss will directly harm the quality of education and student well-being.

We call on the district to:

Explore alternative cost-saving measures before cutting essential positions.
Seek emergency funding from local, state, or federal sources.
Engage the community in open discussions to find solutions that protect both staff and students.

Our schools are more than buildings — they are communities. Let’s work together to keep them strong.
