SK School Board agrees to
a seven-year lease on new
career technical institute
By HERB SWETT
Of the Keizertimes
A seven-year lease and op-
erational agreement among
the Salem-Keizer School Dis-
trict, Mountain West Career
Technical Institute and the
Salem-Keizer Education As-
sociation was approved by the
School Board on Tuesday.
The leased premises cover
about 20,000 square feet in
the Career Technical Institute
Building at 3501 Portland
Road NE, Salem. The district
will use the building for tech-
nological programs.
Paul Kyllo was the only
board member to vote against
the agreement, saying it al-
lowed some wages that he
considered too low. Another
director, Chuck Lee, recused
himself, citing a confl ict of in-
terest; he is the chief executive
offi cer of Mountain West.
The board re-elected Rick
Kimball as its chair and elect-
ed Kyllo vice chair for the
2015-16 academic year. Chris
Brantley voted against Kimball
and said he would vote against
any director who did not meet
his standards for board gover-
nance. He explained that he
did not fi nd any of his col-
leagues to meet board policy
standards of concern for the
records of district graduates.
Directors Jim Green and
Lee, recently re-elected to
the board, were sworn in for
their new terms, as was Marty
Heyen, a fi rst-term direc-
tor. The Salem law fi rm of
Garrett, Hemann, Robertson
was re-appointed as district
legal counsel; Paul Dakopolos
will continue to represent his
fi rm in that capacity.
In other business, the
board approved three grants:
$557,228 from the Oregon
Department of Education for
educational services for court-
adjudicated students who have
academic and behavioral defi -
ciencies; $460,319 from the
Oregon Department of Hu-
man Services for the Youth
Transition Program, which
prepares students who have
disabilities for employment or
career-related post-secondary
training; and $35,708 from
ODE to support the Indian
education summer school.
The meeting was the fi rst
regular one for John Beight,
who fi lls some of the duties
Ken Parshall held as assistant
superintendent. Beight’s posi-
tion title is executive director
of human resources; he held a
similar position with the Ti-
gard-Tualatin School District.
Superintendent
Christy
Perry announced the hirings
of Jenny Williams as assistant
principal of Claggett Creek
Middle School, Craig Swan-
son as principal of Sprague
High School, Terra Yates as as-
sistant principal of West Salem
High School, and Annie Mor-
ton as part-time temporary
principal of Jane Goodall En-
vironmental Middle School.
The board approved vari-
ous personnel actions, includ-
ing the following in the Mc-
Nary High School attendance
area:
• Employment as tem-
porary full-time teachers of
Heather Fledderjohann, fi rst
and second grades, English for
speakers of other languages,
Forest Ridge Elementary
School; and Rebecca Hatfi eld,
kindergarten ESOL, Keizer
Elementary School.
• Employment as a fi rst-
year probation part-time
teacher of Adrienne Archer,
physical education, Cum-
mings Elementary School.
• Employment as fi rst-year
probation full-time teachers of
Dylan Bartholomew, biology
and physical science, McNary;
Jennifer Johnston, kindergar-
ten ESOL, Cummings; David
Yeakle, third-grade ESOL,
Cummings; Debra Hernanz,
fourth-grade ESOL, Keizer;
Amy Torrence, third-grade
ESOL, Cummings; Jason Ar-
thur, fourth-grade ESOL,
Weddle Elementary School,
Lisa Abele, local school coun-
cil, Clear Lake Elementary
School; and Stephanie Mont-
gomery, fi rst grade, Cum-
mings.
• Resignation of Rick
Johnson as fourth-grade
ESOL teacher at Clear Lake.
Three members of the
same Keizer family spoke
from the audience to urge
reinstatement of a full year of
science in the middle schools.
Natalie Altermatt, whose
son Michael will be a sixth-
grader at Claggett Creek this
fall, noted that the reduction
in science classes was made
in 2008 because of a budget
shortfall. She said that her son
was Talented and Gifted and
that the doubled language arts
classes should be reduced to
make room for more science.
Michael spoke briefl y, saying
he aspired to a science ca-
reer. His older sister, Heather
Altermatt, a recent Oregon
State University graduate, said
restoration of a year of science
was necessary for students to
become competitive in the
21st century.
