Portland Public Schools will see a boost of about $14 million in its general fund next year. The district also has about $74 million left in federal relief money it can tap.
But its $762 million spending plan will not be enough to mount a full-scale return to classrooms in the fall if the Oregon Department of Education maintains its three-foot distancing rules beyond this school year, Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero told the school board Tuesday.
