and the frontline taking care of patients and
save lives in all ages from womb to tomb. I
have started mental health programs in our
state and abroad, I serve children whose ed-
ucation is impacted by serve adverse child-
hood experience, toxic stresses, mental ill-
ness, bullying and suicide risk.
David Salinas: A school board is in-
tended to be composed of community
members as part of a team guiding our
school district. I bring experience work-
ing in a team environment, knowledge of
the community and experience as an ac-
tive parent of four school district students.
In my International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers (IBEW) career throughout
my adulthood, I have worked extensively
as part of a team to identify issues, resolve
those issues and accomplish goals. Also, I
am currently on the IBEW Credit Union
board of directors. Finally, I am a very hard
worker dedicated to learning the issues and
supporting student-centered policies and
practices.
KT: What motivated you to seek elec-
tion?
SC: I have borne witness to what men-
tal illness has done to people in the last 30
years. I can not be a bystander anymore
and decided to speak up. Last year, there
were 16 youth suicides in Marion Coun-
ty. Sprague High School lost three kids to
suicide. One-in-four girls and 1-in-5 boys
are sexually abused by age 18 years. Chil-
dren have severe emotional and behavior-
al problems which is as a result of adverse
childhood experience and this disrupts ed-
ucation. Teachers are suffering as they are
in the fi rst line of this tragedy. Yet our Sa-
lem-Keizer schools don’t even have a sui-
cide prevention policy in place. Until this
is addressed, our children can’t feel safe, en-
gaged and we can not have meaningful un-
interrupted educational pipelines that lead
to good jobs or higher education. We have
poor graduation rates and school dropouts.
I have the experience, education and the
skills to do my share and make a difference.
Hence, I decided to run for this position.
DS: I have always believed that actions
speak louder than words. I understand that
achieving student success from the board
level takes a very strong board, a very
strong administration and active support
from the community, parents and students.
Following my recent involvement in the
district’s Boundary Task Force, I was mo-
tivated to become more actively involved
in the school district’s future direction. As
a parent, at times it is diffi cult to feel like
your voice is heard regarding district prac-
tices and I heard this same feeling echoed
directly from parents in our community as
we held open house events to seek input
on our progress with the boundaries. It
is my hope we can work toward being as
transparent as possible while bringing more
community engagement into board deci-
sions and the district’s future direction.
KT: What do you feel is the most im-
portant issue facing the school district as a
whole?
SC: Safety, health and learning. Teen sui-
cide and bullying, children not feeling safe,
emotional and behavioral issues causing
room clearances are the most critical issue
that should get top priority. We cannot lose
another child to suicide. Cyber bullying
and bullying prevention go hand-in-hand
with suicide prevention. Addressing adverse
childhood experience and toxic stress and
its impact on emotional and behavioral
problems will take longer time to address.
The schools cannot do it alone. Other
agencies have to work collaboratively with
the school.
DS: I think the most important is-
sue facing the district as a whole is how
do we most effectively use the resources
that are available to provide optimal edu-
cational opportunities for all students at-
tending our schools. Equitable educational
opportunities are diffi cult to achieve on a
student-by-student basis. It is the board’s
responsibility to ask the diffi cult questions
when adopting budgets, curriculum and
policies to ensure we are focused on max-
imizing optimal classroom conditions for
our educators and children.
As a board, we have to accept respon-
sibility for the areas in which we are un-
derachieving and fi nd solutions that are ac-
countable. This will be diffi cult because we
have an uneven distribution of attendance
areas, facilities that require maintenance
and updating, and we are continuously un-
derstaffed.
KT: What can be done at the school
board level to address that issue?
SC: Ensuring that within 30 days of my
election, The board will develop a suicide
prevention policy. This has to be addressed
urgently. This will get all stakeholders both
within and outside the district to align their
efforts. Initially, the fundings may include
pooling funding and resources from local
CCO, local health care, nonprofi t, OHA
etc. Later, this needs to be part of the school
budget.
DS: At the board level, we can clarify
the board’s role in the district’s governance,

policy development and community en-
gagement. Once clarifi ed, the board should
be able to develop short and long-term
goals that are dynamic and assist the district
in effectively using all the available resourc-
es for student success.
Moving in this direction may require
signifi cant board development as a team so
that we can assert a joint effort toward im-
proving opportunities for our students. In
order to be effective as a board, we need to
build a quality working relationship with
each school’s administration and view the
administration as a contributing member of
the team.
Finally, opening communication chan-
nels with all levels of the community, espe-
cially parents and students, should inform
our direction in major policy decisions. I
have been told it is diffi cult to engage the
community, but we have to proactively do
more than just issue invitations. We have to
make the engagement meaningful which
may require more me, some facilitated open
forums, and treat members of the commu-
nity who do a end with absolute respect.
KT: What issues, if any, would you like
to see the school board address with greater
urgency in the next four years?
SC: Suicide prevention and bullying
prevention, develop a trauma-informed
school system to make our schools a safe
place for learning and healing, children feel
safe, have stability and a nurturing and re-
sponsive engaging adults to help the stu-
dents. This is important to address the chal-
lenges due to emotional and behavioral
problems by students which is disruptive
and impairs learning.
DS: Fully implementing the Career
and Technical Education mandate. There is
potential for business-education compacts,
higher education partnerships and other
opportunities to expand current student
access. Expanding mentorship programs.
Mentorship is also a meaningful way to
acclimate new teachers into the district.
Supporting comprehensive counseling and
mental health services. In a district the size
of Salem-Keizer, we must work harder to
ensure students feel safe in all aspects of
their life. Improving communication to
engage parents in their children’s educa-
tion: We must change environments and
methods we have used previously to obtain
parental engagement. Perhaps we can use
live-streaming, electronic survey, commu-
nity forums and other methods to allow
parents to safely provide input into district
directions. We have to value the input we
receive by showing it has respectfully been
considered.
