Julianne R. Opperman
Portland School Board
District 3
Together Let’s Make Portland Schools the Place Where:
Learning is Encouraged
All Students Grow and Flourish
Our Community Thrives
“A lifelong classroom teacher with a doctorate in public policy, Julianne Opperman is uniquely qualified to be an effective member of Portland’s board of public education. How fortunate we are to have someone with her background seeking to serve our city during this time of transition for our school system. ”
Improve Student Outcomes
My goal is to ensure that every student in Portland Public Schools is engaged in learning and ready for the future.
Support Faculty, Staff and Leadership
We must give students the attention, curriculum and encouragement they need to succeed. Let’s balance the demands on teachers so they can have more time to work directly with students.
Open Communication
Transparent and open communication among students, parents and teachers is the key to student's growth and development. Exchanging ideas, knowledge and experiences lead to openness.
Responsible Stewardship
It's good to see the state of Maine honor the 2004 referendum to fund 55% of K-12 education. Yet, we owe it to you, the taxpayer, to use resources more effectively, but not at the expense of student outcomes.
Help Fulfill Our Promise to Our Students
