Candidates queue up for board seats at Portland Public Schools School board hopefuls campaign largely on district's shortcomings and past failures This year's Portland Public Schools Board election would've been like any other if not for Zone 4, which represents North Portland. Rita Moore, the current director, is not running for re-election this May. At one point, the Zone 4 race had seven candidates on record. Four people have since dropped out of the race, leaving Margo Logan, Brooklyn Sherman and Herman Greene to appear on the ballot. Another candidate, Jaime Golden Cale, announced she will run as a write-in candidate for Zone 4.
