Controversies[edit]
The Newberg School District made news headlines for voting to ban "political" symbols from school grounds, including Pride and Black Lives Matter imagery.[7] This ban ended in 2023.[8]
An elementary school employee of the district reported to work wearing blackface in "protest" of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The employee was terminated from her position.[9]
