JUNE 1, 2018, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A3 Students awarded for turnaround Salem-Keizer Public Schools (SKPS) recognized 21 students from across the district and community in the 2018 Turnaround Achievement Awards on Wednesday, May 23 at the Keizer Civic Center. Sponsored by Don and Ann Lebold of Town and Country Lanes, the award recognizes middle and high school stu- dents in the district that dem- onstrate effort, commitment and perseverance in the face of adversity. Recipients of this award have shown personal improve- ment in their academics, be- havior or attitude and continue to implement these qualities in their daily lives. “I didn’t think anything re- ally mattered, especially my- self,” said one award recipient. “Now, my life has purpose and I am fi lled with joy. I know that I have people in my cor- ner that care and believe in me, and because of that, I am working hard to show them how much I appreciate all they have done for me.” Keizer winners were Alex- ia Romero Duran (Claggett Creek), Lazaro Chavez (Whiteaker) and Travis Steffes (McNary). Since 1994, the Turnaround Achievement Awards have in- spired and motivated more than 400 students to achieve success in their personal, aca- demic and professional lives. “This is no small feat for these incredible young men and women,” said Superinten- dent Christy Perry. “Our students are diverse individuals who bring unique backgrounds and experiences into their educational careers. These awards are a small way for us to recognize students who faced and overcame ex- traordinary obstacles and made a commitment to making new, positive changes in their lives. We couldn’t be more proud of our students and what they have accomplished and will continue to achieve as they move through their adult lives.” Submitted Salem-Keizer Public Schools honored 21 middle and high school students with Turnaround Achievement Awards on Wednesday, May 23 at the Keizer Civic Center. School budget committee talks contractors By HERB SWETT Of the Keizertimes Salem-Keizer Schools bud- get committee hearing on Tuesday, May 15 was high- lighted by a suggestion that the district replace building contractors with maintenance employees. Mark Kowitz of Keizer, an electrician employed by the district, said the cost of ret- rofi tting buildings and con- structing new ones would be several times that of using hired labor. He added that there was a legal means of let- ting employees tap into what contractors do. Kowitz was the fi rst of sev- eral speakers from the audi- ence, but Michael Wolfe, the district’s chief operating of- fi cer, said there was no way district staff could do all the work contractors could pro- vide. “We’re using our own people,” Wolfe said, explaining that district employees would get as much work as the dis- trict and contractors could provide. Others from the fl oor in- cluded four who were Span- ish-speaking, three of whom spoke through interpreters. All four urged the committee to fi nd more room for bilingual instruction. The four were Lucia Sanchez, Jazmin Tor- res, Maricela Lagos, and Javier Quiroz, all of Salem. Mark Atkinson of Salem said the budget should make more room for drug and alco- hol counselors.
