PAGE A12, KEIZERTIMES, JANUARY 15, 2016 McNary AD honored by SKSB By HERB SWETT For the Keizertimes Grants to the Salem-Keiz- er School District totaling $567,788 were approved by the School Board on Tuesday. The largest, $475,518 from the Oregon Department of Education, involves McNary and West Salem high schools. The programs are in culinary arts at McNary and fi re science at West Salem. In the McNary program, students acquire ad- vanced culinary skills working in a commercial kitchen. Five other grants from ODE are $30,565 for identifi cation and comprehensive educa- tional programs for migrant children, $24,643 in annual System Performance Review and Funding for performance data collection and reporting for special education, $19,800 to support training toward statewide assessments of stu- dents with disabilities, $12,596 in reimbursements of costs of Oregon-grown and -pro- cessed food, and $3,000 for physical fi tness for elementary students. The board learned that Salem-Keizer Head Start had earned the highest rating (fi ve stars) from the state’s Quality Rating Improvement System, which involves an in-depth review by ODE. In other business, the board renewed the charters for Op- timum Learning Environ- mental School and Valley In- quiry School. Fewer personnel actions than usual were approved, with none focused on the McNary attendance area. In the Spotlight on Success portion of the meeting, Ron Richards, McNary athletic di- rector, was announced to have won the Distinguished Ser- vice Award from the National Interscholastic Athletic Ad- ministrators Association. The award was presented to Rich- ards at the National Athletic Directors Conference in Or- lando, Fla., in December. “The bottom line is that Ron cares about kids,” John Honey, former McNary prin- cipal, said in nominating him. “He wants them to have a wide range of opportunities to connect with the school, their peers, coaches and the community. He helps them develop chances to fi nd im- provement, success, personal satisfaction and pride through their effort.” Two people spoke from the audience. Ross Swartzen- druber of Salem, a parent, said he was opting out of achieve- ment testing, as were hundreds of thousands of other parents around the United States, be- cause they wanted more local control of education. Joseph Nelson of Salem, also a parent, said more nutritional infor- mation on school meals was needed. t h AL 9 3 NU BROUGHT TO YOU BY AN OREGON STATE FAIRGROUNDS (AMERICRAFT BUILDING) Friday, January 15 11am – 7pm Saturday, January 16 10 am – 7pm Sunday, January 17 10 am – 5pm Perry gets high marks from Board By HERB SWETT For the Keizertimes Superintendent Christy Perry of the Salem-Keizer School District received high marks from the School Board in a work session that followed the board’s regular meeting Tuesday. The annual evaluation for Perry, who recently completed her fi rst academic year in her current position, was for the 2014-15 school year. The board based its evaluation on student performance against state aver- ages, graduation rates, dropout rates, English language learner performance, and growth in the percentage of schools that show above-average growth compared to similar schools in Oregon. The board’s report noted that Perry had worked for staff compliance with district poli- cies and reported small areas of non-compliance to the board regularly. It said she had devel- oped “excellent relationships” with the board and community partners including the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce and Chemeketa Community College. Although the board stated that academic scores were not “where we would like them to be,” its report said there are many factors in the scores for which she should not be blamed. It said Perry “has done an admirable job of moving and maintaining our academic scores.” The board will hold one more work session this month, at 6 p.m. Jan. 26 at the Support Services Center in Salem.
