The cam- stitutions and public sector agencies provide training pus offers a full array of educational offerings, including the College History Portland Community College began as the adult education program of the Portland Public Schools. On May 15, 1961, the school district established the college as a separately operating entity. Because the college included students from many areas outside the Portland school district, in 1965 the school board appointed an advisory council to supervise the college and to give representation to areas beyond the school district boundaries. As the advisory council and the school board developed programs and plans for the rapidly growing college, it became evident that the college needed to be a separate governmental unit with its own elected board to repre- sent the areas from which students came. In 1968, voters of the five-county area approved the formation of a new college district named the “Metropolitan Area Education District.” It included the school districts of Portland, Sauvie Island and Riverdale in Multnomah County; Lake Oswego in Clackamas County; St. Helens, Scappoose and Vernonia school districts in Columbia County; Newberg school district in Yamhill County and all of Washington County. At this time the voters also elected the first college board of directors and approved a tax base, providing the college with funds for the local share of operation and building construction. In 1971, the name of the district was changed to “Portland Commu- nity College District.” District residents showed continuing support for their college in 1980, and again in 1986 as they voted to increase the PCC tax base. Enrollment growth of 25 percent since 1986 led voters to approve a $61.4 million bond measure in 1992 to expand facilities at all campuses, and repair and upgrade existing buildings. In 2000, voters approved another bond measure for $144 million.
