School board accepts
$25.9M in grants
By HERB SWETT
For the Keizertimes
Grants totaling over $25.9 million were ap-
proved by the Salem-Keizer School Board on
Tuesday, Oct. 8.
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. The administration
has found that the appraised value supports the
asking price of $497,500.
The board received the 2018-19 program re-
port of Salem-Keizer Head Start, which showed
consistently improving percentages for student
profi ciency development in fall, winter and
spring. By spring, all percentages were over 80
percent, including 92 percent for literacy de-
velopment.
Personnel actions approved by the board
included the following in the McNary High
School attendance area:
• Less than half-time employment, Tessa Wel-
terlen, McNary.
• Temporary part-time: Matthew Strauser,
McNary.
• Temporary full-time: Shannon Butcher,
Cummings Elementary School; Tianna Clark,
Clear Lake Elementary School; Martin Histand
and Kenzie Mozejko, Claggett Creek Middle
School; Nicole Linde, Forest Ridge Elementary
School; Antonio Perez Sanchez, Kennedy Ele-
mentary School; and Robin Yankus, McNary.
• First-year probation full-time: Veronica Vil-
larreal, Cummings.
• Retirement: Yankus, effective Dec. 31.
The board also proclaimed Oct. 14-18 as
Hands & Words Are Not for Hurting Week and
October as Disability Employment Awareness
Month.
In the Spotlight on Success Portion of the
meeting, Addison Sermon, a third-grader at
Clear Lake, was recognized as a Make-a-Wish
Foundation spokesmodel. Making the presen-
tation was Artonya Gemmill, Clear Lake prin-
cipal.
