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.”

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.

Drive in December. Approx-
imately 5,000 pounds of non-

nity businesses, such as Nancy
Jo’s, Grocery Outlet and Wey-
erhouser, and an Elks National

packed food boxes weighing
on average 120 pounds for
225 families. Seventy fi ve of
thes families were military
families who have a member
deployed. The military picked
up and delivered to their fam-
ilies and club members and
guests delivered to the re-
maining families.
