• Redmond School District: Central Oregon public K-12 district serving a similar small-city/rural mix. Comparable in operating scope (multiple elementary, middle, high schools) though operating in a different region of the state.
• Ontario School District 8C: Eastern Oregon public K-12 district operating under identical state funding and regulatory frameworks, comparable in scale and rural/small-city community footprint to Pendleton.
