By HERB SWETT Of the Keizertimes A collective bargaining agreement with the Salem- Keizer Education Association was approved by the School Board at a special meeting Tuesday. The board also approved a memorandum of understand- ing modifying language in the current agreement with the As- sociation of Salem-Keizer Edu- cation Professionals and held a work session on a 2017-18 budget supplement. The agreement with the SKEA involves: • Increases in employer-paid portions of the monthly insur- ance premiums in the amounts of $25 for 2017-18 and 2018- 19 and $40 for 2019-20 and 2020-21. • Salary schedule increases of 2 percent for 2017-18 and 2018-19, 2.25 percent for 2019-20, and 2.5 percent for 2020-2021. • Various additions and other changes throughout the agree- ment. Under the agreement with the support professionals, the maximum district contribution toward the insurance premium for 2017-18 will be $1,245 per month, $25 more than the 2016-17 contribution. Both agreements passed by 6-1 votes. Voting against them was Kathy Goss, who praised the performance of district em- ployees but observed that “the state of Oregon is not a wealthy state.” The budget supplement in- volves an increase in the state public education budget from $8.1 billion to $8.2 billion. The Salem-Keizer district’s share is $8,067,196. Of that fi gure, school administrators have proposed that $4.5 million go toward a transfer to the 2018 bond capital fund. The break- down for proposed fi gures for the other categories is: • $888,392 for eight full- time classroom teachers. traffi c court NO LICENSE Margarito Galvez Jr., $260; Eric D.

From the very beginning we have strived to give back to the communi- ties that have supported us.” Mandy and Eric Burdge are the new owners of Odd Moe’s in Keizer. With a combined 17 years in the food industry, they have found the fi rst three months in Keizer to be positive and they look forward to growth and meeting the community. “Odd Moe’s delivers hometown Northwest style pizza, and we use only fresh ingredients and make our own dough daily,” said Eric. “And, did you know you can have beer or wine delivered with your order?” Odd Moe’s is the only pizza place in Oregon to do so. Then, there’s the quality of the cheese. Odd Moe’s uses bacio cheese made from buffalo milk—it’s rich, creamy and melts nicely. Visit this young family’s business in Keizer. Mandy and Eric have 5 children and another due in November. They have become in- volved with the Chamber of Commerce and look forward to giving back to the community.
