Our Values

At CPPS, our work is guided by three key values:

1. Powerful Partnerships – We work as part of a broad network of local and national alliances. We use this network to help build a strong education system in Portland. We respect differences while working together for the common good.
2. Enduring Equity – We want every student in our district to receive the best possible education. We honor Portland’s diversity by looking for ways to develop inclusive involvement between diverse communities.
3. Clear Communication – We encourage collaborative, healthy discussions between partners and communities. We encourage all participants to speak clearly, listen carefully, and follow up regularly with each other to measure progress and celebrate successes.
