About the District

We are directly to the East of Eugene, where the University of Oregon is located. We currently have more than 9,000 students, over 1,400 staff members and over 600 teachers in our kindergarten through grade 12 school district. Springfield Public Schools believes student success is our most important outcome. The success of our students depends on the collective community coming together to support "Every Student, Every Day" throughout their K-12 education.
In Springfield Public Schools, we acknowledge that systemic barriers have perpetuated disparities and disproportionate outcomes for students from historically marginalized populations. We believe that educational equity is about providing every student with the opportunities and resources to thrive, and removing the barriers that have led to the predictability of academic success based on identity. We assert that working for educational equity is the responsibility of each person in our system.
We strive to create welcoming and inclusive cultures and environments that embrace and affirm the identity of each student inclusive of race, ethnicity, disability, family economics, mobility, language, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, initial proficiencies, immigration status, and religion. We are committed to standing up to bias and discrimination.
We recognize that achieving educational equity is a process of assessment, reflection, and continuous improvement. We engage in these practices so that across our system, teaching and learning can be appropriately varied and responsive to every student, every day.
