Open to the public. 9 a.m. By HERB SWETT Of the Keizertimes Guidelines for meeting all students’ needs were approved at a special Salem- Keizer School Board meeting Tuesday, March 21. The guidelines, known as the Equity Lens, involve board attention to the ef- fects of resource allocation, program de- velopment, and support systems. They are designed to assure that decisions provide for each student’s needs. The board committed itself to not let- ting characteristics such as race, national origin, religion, disability, economic cir- cumstance, mobility, native language, sex- ual orientation, gender identity, or level of profi ciency on entering a school predict or predetermine success. Changes in resource allocation, design and implementation of policies, and pro- grams will be considered in light of equi- table outcomes. The City of Keizer is looking for volunteers to serve on the following com- mittees. • The Keizer Points of In- terest Committee identifi es, authenticates, and memori- alizes sites of interest located in the Keizer area. Sites to be identifi ed may be of the his- torical, geographical, botani- cal, or unusual.
