KT on vacation Submitted photo The Mooney family, Randy and Meredith seen above, took their Keizertimes on a Christmas vacation to Disneyland last month. Not pictured: daughters McKenzi and Madison. Superintendent Christy Perry retired from the Sa- lem-Keizer School District for the shortest possible time at a Jan. 2 special Salem-Keiz- er School Board meeting. Her retirement, which may have lasted less than a minute, ended with her re- hiring in accordance with the new Oregon law that permits immediate rehiring in accor- dance with the provisions of the Public Employees Retire- ment System. The rehiring is under the same employment contract Perry had when she retired, including the same terms, conditions, and duration. Her current contract extends through the 2020-21 school year, and the board has the option to extend it. “We are fortunate to have a dedicated and proven lead- er like Christy Perry,” board chair Marty Heyen said. “I’m proud to represent a board that puts its support behind a superintendent who has our community’s best interests in mind while leading a $1.2 billion organization.” Federal grant will fund Wheatland Road study Submitted photo Nate Brown brought his newspaper aboard a cruise ship off the Hawaiian islands.

HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Wheatland Road North will be the subject of a new trans- portation study to determine what street improvements, if any, are warranted. The Keizer City Council approved an Oregon Department of Transportation-delivered federal grant in the amount of $191,000 that will pay for a consultant to oversee the study among other costs. Keizer’s matching amount will be 10.27 percent, roughly $22,000. The study will not necessarily lead to immediate improve- ments, but it will provide a path forward if and when the city decides to move forward, said Keizer Public Works Director Bill Lawyer. No timeline has been established, but Lawyer said there would be ample opportunities for area residents to voice their priorities and preferences. The project was selected as part of federal Surface Trans- portation Program program, a subset of the Urban Grant Pro- gram. obituaries June 28, 1969 – December 22, 2019 A memorial service growing intellectually.
