‘No’ vote on charter school ‘Power couple’ gets
By HERB SWETT
For the Keizertimes
A second draft proposal for
a fi fth charter school in the
Salem-Keizer School District
received a negative vote from
the School Board on Tuesday
on the advice of the school
administration.
Superintendent
Christy
Perry told the board an ad-
ministrative committee found
the second proposal to fall
short of a component required
by Oregon law and to fall
short of several components
required by district policy.
The board voted 6-1 to
send the proposal back to the
developers of Capital Prepara-
tory Charter School. Jeff Fa-
ville, who voted for the draft,
said he thought it was ready
for the Oregon Department
of Education, which must ap-
prove any such proposal, to
review it.
State requirements not ad-
dressed in the proposal, the
administrative committee had
decided, involved a descrip-
tion of the expected results
of the curriculum and charter
school compliance with state
and federal mandates.
Many more defi ciencies
were found where district
policy was concerned. They
included several curriculum
issues and several issues in-
volving state and federal poli-
cy. Also found not suffi ciently
addressed were calculation of
student membership, several
personnel issues, and matters
involving fi nance and budget
and staff discipline policies.
In other state-related mat-
ters, Perry discussed the new
policy of funding full-day kin-
dergarten statewide. She said
that full funding has yet to
come from the state and that
there is no mandate for full-
day kindergarten.
“You’ll get a lot more in-
formation,” she told the board.
A more positive report in-
volved the Career and Tech-
nical Education Center, for
which Perry said the build-
ing, now under construction,
is “looking good.” CTEC will
open in September with 180
students.
The board accepted fi ve
grants, three from the ODE.
The ODE grants were
$6,638,403 for costs, mostly
involving staffi ng, of special
education and related ser-
vices; $114,000 for mentor-
ing of beginning teachers; and
$13,597 for programs for mi-
grant children;
In other business, the board:
• Proclaimed March 2-6 as
Classifi ed Employee Appre-
ciation Week.
• Heard Doris Jarrett of
Keizer, a district bus driver,
say bus drivers in the Salem-
Keizer district are not paid as
well as those in other districts
of comparable size.
• Heard two people speak
from the audience against
Planned Parenthood involve-
ment in the schools.
• Approved personnel ac-
tions including hiring Sarah
Brending as a temporary full-
time teacher of English for
speakers of other languages
for Gubser Elementary School
fi rst-graders, and the retire-
ment of Darrell Trussell as a
mathematics teacher at Mc-
Nary High School.

Service to Ed award
By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
Pillow talk in the Lee
household revolves around
children.
No, Chuck and Krina
Lee aren’t talking about their
children at 3 a.m. They are
talking about all students in
the Salem-Keizer School
District – a district Chuck has
wanted to be called Keizer-
Salem for years.
That dedication to students
led to the local “education
power couple” being jointly
awarded the Service to
Education Award at the Jan.
31 Keizer First Citizen Awards
Banquet.
The Lees received their
clock award from Ron
Hittner, the 2013 recipient
of the award, who noted the
service both Lees have done
individually over the past
decades. That includes Chuck’s
time at Blanchet Catholic
School, which saw large
growth under his leadership.
“I had a front row seat to
his commitment,” Hittner
said. “Chuck’s decisions were
always made with children
as the top priority. It always
came down to what’s best for
the kids.”
Hittner
pointed
out
the Lees continue to be
committed to education, even
after all they’ve accomplished.
Krina, executive director of
the Salem-Keizer Education
Foundation, was instrumental
in getting the Crystal Apple
and Awesome 3000 awards
programs going, while Chuck
is a longtime member of the
Salem-Keizer School Board.
“Even with all they’ve
accomplished already, they
both continue to spend
countless hours leading our
community constantly to
improve our educational
environment,” Hittner said.
Chuck joked about why he
joined the school board seven
years ago.
“My only real goal has
been to change the name from
Chuck and
Krina Lee give
a speech upon
accepting
the Service
to Education
Award on
Jan. 31.
KEIZERTIMES/
Craig Murphy
Salem-Keizer School Board to
Keizer-Salem School Board,”
he quipped. “In all seriousness,
this is an incredible award.
Thank you very much. I love
Keizer. I love representing
Keizer on the school board and
being involved in education.
“What happens at home is
reinforced at school and what
happens at school is reinforced
at home,” he added. “In Keizer
we’ve got that. We’ve got a
great community that is really
tied into what we’re talking
about.”
Krina joked “pillow talk”
in the Lee household revolves
around testing assessments,
SAT scores and bond measures
– at 3 a.m.
“Every child, every day
deserves the opportunity to be
awesome,” Krina said. “Thank
you to each and every one of
you for acknowledging that
and knowing that. We love
you, we love each other and
we love so much advocating
for our children.”
Other nominees for the
award were Keizer Heritage
Center’s JoAnne Beilke (the
1990 Keizer First Citizen),
Whiteaker Middle School
teacher
Scott
Coburn,
McNary High School teacher
Jim Taylor (a President’s
Award winner last year) and
former MHS principal John
Honey, now the principal at
the Career and Technology
Education Center (CTEC).
Chuck paid homage to his
crossword
fellow nominees.
“They deserve it as
much as I do. I personally
nominated JoAnne Beilke for
this award four years ago for
her service and commitment
to Keizer and Chemeketa
Community College,” Chuck
said afterwards. “I currently
am working with John Honey
on CTEC. I’ve only heard
amazing things about the
Whiteaker teacher. He’s a kid
magnet. These are all brilliant,
brilliant educators. It was an
honor to be recognized. It’s
a shame because all of them
would have been very worthy
of the award.”
Chuck fi gured marrying
Krina in 2013 raised his
chances.
“My
acknowledgement
as a Service to Educator was
only enhanced by marrying
Krina, with her background
and what she brings to the
table,” Chuck said. “She
touches all 41,000 kids in the
Keizer-Salem schools with her
foundation.”
Krina said getting the award
wouldn’t lessen her resolve or
mission at all.
“Our work, independently
and collectively, we care
deeply about the kids in this
school system,” Krina said.
“These awards are wonderful
and they give credentials to
the organizations we represent.
But I’ll wake up tomorrow
still thinking of every kid,
every day.”
