Safety, Security, and Accessibility
Oregon City’s six elementary schools have restrooms, parking lots, and security fencing that are aging. Several buildings contain asbestos and some lack accessible playgrounds and spaces. All elementary classrooms currently do not have air conditioning.
Oregon City’s Schools Have Aging Building Systems
The safety of Oregon City students and staff is our highest priority. OCSD’s six elementary schools were not built to address today’s students' needs.
The average age of our six elementary schools is 62 years and our two oldest schools are 76 years old. These schools have not been updated since they were built and have the original basic building systems like plumbing and heating. Additionally, all of our elementary classrooms lack air conditioning.
Expand Student Opportunities and Student Suppports
Oregon City elementary schools are crowded and spaces for eating, counseling, special education are limited. Many cafeterias and outdoor playground spaces are not adequate. In addition, Oregon City High School Career and Technical Education career-readiness programs are in demand.
