Mandatory reports at schools in spotlight
As the year drew to a close,
the Salem-Keizer School Dis-
trict issued 'clarifi cation' to its
mandatory reporting guidelines
that would require teachers and
staff to report even instances of
consensual sex to the Depart-
ment of Human Services.
Student and teachers at Mc-
Nary High School spoke out
against the changes and the
story made international head-
lines in the weeks after Keizer-
times fi rst reported on it. Celtic
students arranged a small protest
on the steps of the Capitol and
held a sit-in the following day
to raise awareness.

new guidelines were an over-
reach in interpreting the Or-
egon's child abuse laws, but the
district has stuck to its guns thus
far. Keizertimes reporting even-
tually revealed that the decision
was, in part, linked to a coun-
selor who did not fully report
an instance of alleged abuse,
but why the guidelines were
changed to make even consen-
sual sex talk taboo still remains
a mystery.
State legislators have asked
for opinions from the Depart-
ment of Justice and plan on
introducing a legislative fi x in
2018 if nothing changes at the
school district.
