SKPS board okays GRASSROOTS GOVERNMENT bond for ballot By HERB SWETT Of the Keizertimes Salem-Keizer School Board approval for a proposed general obligation bond esti- mated at $619.7 million to go on the ballot became offi cial Tuesday, Feb. 13. District residents will de- cide May 15 on the bond measure proposal, which focuses on making district buildings seismically safe and large enough for anticipated enrollment growth. The proposed bond mea- sure would add space at 22 el- ementary schools, 10 middle schools, and six high schools. It would build a new Auburn Elementary School, improve science laboratories at the middle and high schools, im- prove vocational and technical programs at high schools, up- grade technology, make seis- mic improvements, and make safety and security improve- ments districtwide. An $8 million state grant has been awarded provided the bonds are approved. The estimated tax rate in- crease is $1.24 per $1,000 as- sessed value. Several audience mem- bers urged reinstatement of health positions in elemen- tary schools. One was Alyson Budde of Silverton, offi ce manager at Forest Ridge El- ementary School. The student safety issue, especially bullying, took up much of the meeting. John Van Dreal, district director of safety and risk management services, presented a fl ow chart on dealing with the problems. A few parents in the audience spoke to the board about their children’s experi- ences with bullying. Personnel actions approved by the board included the fol- lowing in the McNary High School attendance area: • Less than half-time status for Deborah Elde at Whiteak- er Middle School and Charles Kuebris at McNary. • Temporary part-time sta- tus for Corie McPursifull at McNary and South Salem high schools and Annama- rie Miller at Claggett Creek Middle School. • Temporary full-time sta- tus for Kira Chuprov at Gub- ser Elementary School, Keista McCrae at Claggett Creek, Natalie Peton at McNary, and Hailee Young at Keizer El- ementary. • Resignations of Robbie Ellis and Robert James from McNary. The Spotlight on Suc- cess portion of the meeting honored Cameron Vandeco- evering, fi fth-grader at For- est Ridge, and Jasmine Mill- er, fi fth-grader at Optimum Learning Environment Char- ter School, for their videos at the Kid Governor competi- tion. Both their videos were ranked in the top eight. (Editor’s note: Visit www. keizertimes.com for an ex- panded version of this story.) The Keizer Planning Commission held its most recent meeting Wednesday, Feb. 14. Here is what was discussed: The primary topic on the agenda was a change to the process by which amendments to the Keizer Station Master Plans are ad- opted. Under current policies, changes to the Keizer Sta- tion Master Plan must be approved by the planning commission which forwards a recommendation on to the Keizer City Council. The proposed chang- es, which were approved unanimously by the com- missioners, would allow amendments pertaining to landscaping and design changes and other changes that do not increase the overall square footage in Keizer Station to go direct- ly to the council. “It would eliminate the duplication of the hearing process,” said Nate Brown, Keizer’s community devel- opment director. There was some con- fusion over the language of the proposed changes looking back in the KT sudoku Enter digits from 1-9 into the blank spaces. Every row must contain one of each digit.

Matt Lawyer and David Louden voted against a recommendation of a ban. The mistake was due to a re- porter error. Clariﬁ cation In the Feb. 16 edition of the Keizertimes, in the story of titled Sidewalk talks continue at traffi c safety board, the story stated there was a lack of sidewalks around Kennedy El- ementary School. While there are sidewalks bordering the Kennedy campus, few of the streets leading to the school have such accommodations. which used “Keizer Station Master Plan” and “Mas- ter Plan” interchangeably. Commissioners asked that the changes be limited to Keizer Station and, if the city wants the same process is applied to other Master Plans, that those changes come back at a later date. Commissioner Garry Whalen said that it made more sense to make the change to other plans later given the ramping up to the River Road Revitaliza- tion study (see related story, Page A1). “I think there is minimal risk to wait and address this when we have a more com- plete project,” Whalen said. The changes moved forward on the Keizer Sta- tion Master Plan process to streamline construction of new businesses like the cinema and a dental offi ce owned by Kaiser Perman- ente. 10 YEARS AGO The perfect gift 3893 COMMERCIAL ST SE THIS WEEK’S MOVIE TIMES Star Wars: The Last Jedi (PG -13) Fri 3:20*, 6:15 & 9:05; Sat 3:45*, 6:40 & 9:30; Sun 2:40*, 6:00 & 8:50 Justice League (PG-13) Fri 6:05; Sat 2:10*; Sun 7:50 Thor Ragnarok (PG-13 Sun 5:35 Murder on the Orient Express (PG-13) Fri 9:20; Sat 4:30 Pitch Perfect 3 (PG-13) Sat 7:00; Sun 4:15 KEIZERTIMES.COM Web Poll Results Should the Keizer City Council prioritize ﬁ nishing the network of sidewalks within the city limits?
