Controversies

In 2021, the conservative Community Oriented Public Servants (COPS) PAC allied with The Oregon Republican Party to elect Newberg School Board candidates. [8] Their recurring slogan was SOS, (Save Our Schools!). [8] This campaign secured a 4-3 conservative majority after the May 2021 election. [9] Former school security guard Dave Brown became chairman. [9] The year prior, Dave Brown was the sole dissenting vote in a 5-1 antiracism resolution. [10]

In July 2021, the Newberg School Board voted to ban Pride and Black Lives Matter symbols. [11] In September, Newberg High School students participated in a "virtual slave trade", targeting black students. [12] On September 20, a Newberg Public Schools employee was placed on administrative leave after reporting for work while wearing blackface, referring to herself as the "Rosa Parks of vaccines" to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates. [13] [14]

In September 2022, the targeted ban of modern civil rights movements was ruled unlawful by a Yamhill judge. [15] The ban was dropped in January 2023. [16]

As of July 2024, the Newberg School District is now 3.7 million dollars in debt, and is expecting a 10 million dollar shortfall in 2025. [17]

In late 2024, a $90,000 was paid to a teacher after the principal of Mountain View Middle School said, in paraphrase, “it’s not ok to tell kids it’s ok to be gay or trans.” The teacher who reported this incident was reprimanded. [18]
