What Beaverton School District does

Beaverton School District (BSD) is a public K-12 school district organized under Oregon state law, serving approximately 36,267 students (nearly 37,500 when charter schools are included) across 53 schools in the Beaverton area of Washington and Multnomah Counties, Oregon. The portfolio spans 34 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 6 high schools, 5 option schools (including Arts and Communication Magnet Academy, Beaverton Academy of Science and Engineering, Community School, International School of Beaverton, and FLEX Online School), 33 Career Technical Education programs, and two charter schools. The district is governed by an elected seven-member School Board and employs approximately 4,988 licensed, classified, and administrative staff.

The district's operating model rests on a community-led public service motion, with revenue derived primarily from Oregon State School Funds tied directly to student enrollment, supplemented by a voter-approved local option levy and capital funds from the 2014 and 2022 bonds. Technology infrastructure includes Google Workspace for Education, Canvas LMS, district-issued Chromebooks, the ParentSquare communication platform, Finalsite for the district website, and Lightspeed parent portal, plus transportation tracking (Here Comes the Bus) and nutrition management (SchoolCafe). Product surface beyond traditional instruction includes dual language immersion in 110 languages, special education under IDEA, AVID college readiness, Talented and Gifted programs, McKinney-Vento services, BSD Brainboost after-school tutoring, BSD Achievers mentorship, Clothes for Kids, and school-based health centers operated with Virginia Garcia.

The district is navigating material fiscal stress, with a projected 600-student-per-year enrollment decline starting 2026, a $5.08 million local option levy shortfall for 2026-2027, a $20 million annual structural deficit projected to grow to over $70 million by 2029, and a three-year budget reduction plan targeting roughly $10 million in annual savings. Recent material events include a superintendent transition to Dr. Tony Smith on July 1, 2026, and the establishment of a Generative AI Advisory Committee publishing district-wide responsible use guidelines for AI in education.
