The grants, all from or through the Oregon Department of Education, are: • $12,619,717 from the federal Department of Education to ensure that students in schools with high poverty percentages can meet state academic standards. • $10,506,331 in High School Success funds to support 8th-12th grade students in areas of career and technical education, dropout preven- tion and accelerated credit. • $2,776,854 in federal funds for student en- richment in areas of well-rounded education, improving school conditions for learning and digital literacy. In other business, Superintendent Chris- ty Perry reported that a task force formed to get community feedback on district planning for the Student Investment Account of approx- imately $35 million to implement the state Stu- dent Success Act. The task force consists of 11 people from the community, the presidents of the Salem-Keizer Education Association and the Association of Salem-Keizer Education Professionals, two students, 21 from district staff and a school psychologist. First reading was held on purchase of 1.33 acres at 1755 Doaks Ferry Road NE in Salem to support the capital construction project at West Salem High School.
