school tax exemption at Grand
By HERB SWETT
Of the Keizertimes
Tax exemptions for multi-
ple-unit housing as approved
by the Salem City Council
received approval of the Sa-
lem-Keizer School Board on
Tuesday.
Parke 325, LLC, has ap-
plied to the council to con-
vert a 32,257-square-foot
mixed-use building contain-
ing 30 residential rental units
and two commercial units.
The council has asked the
other taxing districts in the
area to join it in the tax ex-
emption.
The project is within the
Riverfront Downtown Ur-
ban Renewal Area.
Two board members, Jesse
Lippold and Paul Kyllo, voted
against the exemption. They
have contended that all busi-
nesses in that area should be
taxed the same.
In other business, the
board heard administrators
report on the Student In-
vestment Account, which
includes dedicated funds for
career-technical
programs,
dropout prevention, supports
for students who have dis-
abilities and increased access
to preschool programs. A task
force has been formed to
meet regularly to recommend
funding priorities.
The board also had fi rst
reading of a revised set of
governance policies for it-
self. One proposed change is
for the board to review the
policies in each non-election
year; it has been reviewing
them annually.
In the Spotlight on Suc-
cess portion of the meeting,
Magda Romero, principal
of Cummings Elementary
School, honored Dr. Jenni-
fer Frankel, a Keizer den-
tist, as Business Partner of
the Month. In Frankel’s ab-
sence, her husband Jonathon
Thompson, accepted the cer-
tifi cate.
Frankel and her team,
Romero said, donated two
new bicycles to the school
that two students will win af-
ter entering a raffl e for each
month of perfect attendance.
Grants accepted by the
board were $583,750 from
the Oregon Department of
Education for implemen-
tation of strategic improve-
ment plans for schools and
the district, $125,577 from
ODE for supplemental ser-
vices to identifi ed preschool
migrant students and families,
and $31,511 from the Com-
munity Resource Trust for
analyzing the effectiveness of
programs at the Career and
Technical Education Center.
Personnel actions approved
by the board include the fol-
lowing in the McNary High
School attendance area:
• Temporary full-time sta-
tus: Kristi Coberly, Keizer
Elementary School; Marga-
ret Cole, Gubser Elementa-
ry School; Linda Olson and
Vickie Russon, McNary.
• Retirement: Linda Olson,
McNary.

The Salem Progressive Film
Series pairs documentaries
with dynamic speakers to
spread ideas, create discussion
and inspire action.
On Tuesday, Jan. 21,
the series features the fi lm
Bedlam. The Grand Theatre,
191 High Street N.E, hosts
the series. Films begin at 7
p.m. Admission is $5.
Set in Los Angeles, Bedlam
is the fi rst major documentary
to explore the crisis in care of
severely mentally-ill citizens.
The fi lm tracks wrenching
individual stories of mentally-
ill patients caught on an
endless merry-go-round of
ineffective care, exposing
the anatomy of a broken
healthcare mill.
Deb
Patterson,
chair
of the Marion County
Health Advisory Board, and
Tim Black, a member of
Eugene’s Crisis Assistance
Helping Out On The Streets
(CAHOOTS), will lead a
post-fi lm discussion.

Award goes to a person se-
lected by the outgoing pres-
ident of the Chamber board
of directors.
