For the Keizertimes
The recent Oregon Su-
preme Court decision restor-
ing most Public Employees
Retirement System benefi ts
was a concern of Monday’s
budget committee meeting of
the Salem-Keizer School Dis-
trict.
Superintendent Kristy Per-
ry said that, although the dis-
trict’s PERS expenses are set
for 2015-16, the next budget
would involve an estimated $8
million to $10 million in ad-
ditional spending because of
PERS.
Monday’s meeting, while
open to the public, did not in-
clude questions or comments
from the audience. The com-
mittee will hear public testi-
mony Monday and Tuesday
of next week and if necessary
May 20 and 21 as well.
The district has its second
successive budget increase.
The 2015-16 proposed bud-
get totals $654,160,402, up
from the $621,356,557 fi gure
for 2014-15.
Monday’s meeting was
largely a question-and-answer
session, with administrators
responding to questions from
committee members. The fi rst
question was which of the 46
proposed additions to the bud-
get would restore cuts made
between 2009 and 2014. Perry
said the 14 following additions
would be restorations:
• Funding for textbooks
and other instructional mate-
rials.
• Adding classroom teachers
to reduce class sizes in middle
