The Salem-Keizer School

issue at a school board meeting

skaters that used the park had
to go out and buy wider, more
expensive wheels to be able to
ride well,” Johnson said.
In August, the city
council approved a contract
to rehabilitate portions of
the skate park by grinding

One of the concerns that
has arisen is whether schools
would allow Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE)
agents access to schools. The
board will review policies and
procedures for employees if
ICE agents turn up at Salem-
Keizer campuses.
“Short answer, we are not
authorized to allow them access
to our students,” said Lillian
Govus, director of community
relations and communications
for the school district.
Jespersen said the goal is for
all Celtic students to feel safe
and secure, but the uncertainty
regarding the future of DACA
has some students afraid to fi ll
out college applications. That
is at odds with the mission of
making all students college or
career-ready by graduation.
He is encouraging everyone
to take a deep breath and see
what happens next as lawsuits

of DACA protections make
their way through the courts.
Oregon is one of numerous
states suing to stop the Trump

of all types. A side benefi t of
the makeover was reducing
friction allowing skaters and
riders to do bigger and better
tricks. As the group of civic
leader arrived at the park dusk

bikes, skateboards and scooters
were carving lines around the
refreshed areas of the park.
“The thing is I don't want
to stop here,” Johnson told the
group.
The cost to do the
grinding work was about
$35,000 and the number of
visitors had already increased
exponentially in the three
days since it was completed.
However, the job is only
partially done. Most of the
grinding work targeted the
areas and ramps most
frequently used, but there
are rough patches all around
the park and two bowls and
a handful of ramps that go
largely unused because of
poor design or deterioration.

increased use after just
the initial work has him
rethinking the path forward.
“A lot of the park that
is still usable with more
grinding work, and I think
we can work on redesigning
sections of it like the bowls
and ramps while using what is
already here as a foundation. I
think it will be cheaper than

how much,” Johnson said.
