The recent tragedy at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend has deeply impacted communities across Oregon. The loss of young lives is heartbreaking, especially in a classroom serving children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our hearts are with the children, families, school staff, and community members who are grieving this devastating loss.

PCL stands with the Oregon Department of Human Services and members of the I/DD community across Oregon during this incredibly difficult time. We extend our deepest condolences to everyone affected by this tragedy.

We recognize that this loss may bring a mix of difficult feelings, and we are grateful to the organizations, families, advocates, and community partners who are coming together to offer support.

Please know support is available. ODDS Director Acacia McGuire Anderson, in partnership with Paul Partridge of Deschutes County Developmental Disabilities, shares their condolences and some resources in this community message: https://oregon.gov/odhs/news/directors-messages/odds-2026-10-26-director-silver-rail-en.pdf?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAcGRvZgFicmlkETF5azY5TTV2SGx0aXUwZXQwc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABH74jzrfSdU2yhFqXMIMapzjG5Az2NgfXNm41hr_gFHUJYFGxxeKJTnJ4R1Vz_aem_W7D80Je8STUTNg8ws-koqQ
