Daniel Rodgers, a family physician, is running for the Portland school board seat representing much of Northeast Portland that is being vacated by one-term incumbent Scott Bailey. He says viewing the impact of school closures on his young patients, particularly those with disabilities, is part of what drove him to step up to run.
He is one of two candidates for the Zone 5 seat, along with small business owner Gary Hollands.

In Oregon, schools are reopening, but some students feel safer at home
Years of maintenance issues within Portland schools have brewed mistrust of safety measures for COVID-19.
A year after schools across Oregon closed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Portland schools now are rushing to prepare classrooms for a return to in-person learning.
But not everyone is ready to go back to school.
Danny Cage, a sophomore at Grant High School, said as a student of color with underlying health issues, he doesn t feel safe attending school in person yet. I m high risk and I have people in my house who are high risk, the teen said. Even if I m not sick, it s not safe to bring that back to anyone in my house.
