An IEP kid is recognized as a student that is determined to either have a disability, or needs special accommodation. “We might need to give you extra time on a writing assignment or we might need to have someone read the text to you if your having a hard time reading it on your own. There are different accommo- dations that go along with an IEP,” Bouley said. One example Bouley and De Blasi use for extra support is helping with note-taking strategies. For instance, when Bou- ley is up lecturing or giving a power point presentation, De Blasi will often take partial notes and then work with kids on fi lling in the blanks. “What I am really looking at is supporting kids when she (Bouley) is lecturing. I'm watching to see where they’re lagging and I come in to give them more support,” De Blasi said. De Blasi will also give kids one-on-one attention while the class is doing interactive group work, which is a com- monality in this classroom. “We try to make it engag- ing for the kids, especially be- cause struggling readers usual- ly don't like to read,” Bouley said. “I like to try and fi nd the kids who hate reading and see if I can get them to just like it a little bit. If you can get that, I think that's a huge success because kids are going to be reading no matter what job Saturday, February 23 LGBTQ+ Youth Film Festival, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Free.

When asked whether it would be possible to reduce the number of driveways on River Road as one way of alleviating some of the choke points, Brown said options are limited under the current development code. “It would take a concerted regulatory reform. Currently, it’s not in the program to eliminate driveways,” Brown said. Members of the traffi c safety committee plan to examine how the different options might play out at a future meeting and, possibly, make a recommendation to the Keizer City Council. that stamina now and that is they do.” Two or three times a week, something I've seen be harder Bouley will start her class with to do over the years.” A big part of that goal 15 minutes of silent reading and gives her students the for Bouley is giving students choice of what they want to benefi cial reading strategies (Advance- read.

The bullets [from the Polk County range] have not caused any bodily harm, yet,” said Rhonda Rich, a neighbor of the Bauers and longtime board member of the West Keizer Neighborhood Association. Rich said she and other residents are tracking the bill’s movement through the Oregon Legislature. “We will also be involved in the public hearing on this bill and request that amendments be made to effectively protect west Keizer residents and visitors to our parks,” Rich said. The bill has been assigned to the Senate Committee on Judiciary, but no hearings have been scheduled. Keizertimes reached out to Sen. Peter Courtney’s offi ce for comment on the bill and its origins, but received no response by press time. In the meantime, court proceedings and a request for a permanent injunction to stop the shooting at the private shooting range are progressing. In June 2018, a round fi red from the shooting range penetrated the exterior walls of a home owned by Keizer residents Tom and Sheryl Bauer and came to a rest after hitting a granite backsplash in the couple’s kitchen. Sheryl was standing a few feet away at the time. The Bauers are seeking maze On Saturday, March 8, from 9 a.m. to noon, the Keizer Police Department will be hosting a free class to parents called “Tech Savvy Kids and the Un-Informed Parent.” The target audience is parents who want to know what children are doing online with social media, parents who want to know more about parental rights and parents who want to learn how to better monitor their tech-savvy child.

The City of Keizer has joined the request for a permanent injunction as an intervenor. As an intervenor, the city will not be entitled to monetary awards of the lawsuit, but it is an act of solidarity with the Bauers. A hearing on injunction is currently slated for April 9 and 10.

De Blasi is teaching one lab this semester geared towards special education students, but there are other labs available for students that need/want additional help with material — the labs serve as an elective credit. Even though the lit skills labs are a useful tool, De Bla- si believes that the co-taught classes are the more crucial as- pect of getting kids what they need to graduate. “The model of co-teaching helps us get all kids in all those classes and that's when I am able to deliver my services so they never fall behind in their credits,” De Blasi said. “That's why our graduation rates are so high.” While there are a large number of underclassmen who are struggling with lit- eracy, McNary still has some of the best graduation rates in the state — 88.24% in 2018, which was more than 12 per- cent higher than the state av- erage. What might be even more impressive is that McNary has increased the number of grad- uates for special education students by nearly 20 percent — from 57.5% in 2016 to 76.7% in 2018. When it comes to helping struggling students or having a successful special education program, McNary principal Erik Jespersen believes that the teachers at his school are going above and beyond the call of duty. “We have the best special education staff in the state of Oregon and our co-teaching model has proven to be very effective when it comes to interventions,” Jespersen said. “It's all about the overall ap- proach to education our stu- dents.” “We're getting really desir- able outcomes for our kids.” Keizer fi re offi cials worry outdoor smoking areas may not meet codes Fallout from the Smoke Free Workplace Act continues to smolder.
