JUNE 26, 2020, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A9 SCHOOLS, continued from Page A1 for comment, the majority of people who got the oppor- tunity to share advocated for the removal of SROs from Salem-Keizer schools and the resignations of board members Paul Kyllo and Marty Heyen. The public outcry in regards to Kyllo stems from a virtual board meeting on March 30 when he held up a cut up mask of former Portland Trail Blaz- ers player Cliff Robinson over his face for the entirety of the meeting — Robinson is black and Kyllo is white. None of the board members addressed Kyllo’s mask during the meeting, but even though his actions weren’t signifi cantly publicized at the time, Benny Williams, the president of the Salem-Keizer NAACP, wrote to Kyllo, Heyen and SKPS Superintendent Christy Perry after the meeting seeking an apology. As a public apology, Kyllo wrote a letter to the editor in the Statesman Journal, which ran on April 10. “I apologize that my choice offended anyone, and sincerely regret any discomfort my ac- tion may have caused. I apol- ogize for my insensitivity and promise to make no such mis- take again,” Kyllo said in the letter. However, the video resur- faced on Facebook on Monday. Latinos Unidos Siempre, a lo- cal youth group, posted clips of the meeting on their Facebook page and called for the resigna- tion of both Kyllo and Heyen. The group also alleges Heyen has ties to white supremacist organizations. The video had more than 35,000 views as of Tuesday night. The group also created a petition to remove regular po- lice presence on Salem-Keizer campuses through the school resource offi cer program — the petition has nearly 2,500 signatures as of Tuesday, June 23. Tension increased the morning before the meeting when fellow board member Sheronne Blasi stated in a letter to the other six board members that she would like to see Hey- en removed from her position — Blasi joined the March 30 meeting by phone and didn’t see Kyllo holding up the mask. Blasi criticized Heyen for not speaking on the mask in- cident and cited a repeated fail- ure of leadership — Heyen is the chairperson of the board. “Over the last year, and quite frankly during your tenure on the board, you have failed re- peatedly to properly represent all of our students and families in an equal and equitable man- ner,” Blasi wrote in a letter she shared with board members. Heyen responded to the multiple levels of criticism ear- ly in the meeting. “My pain is reactionary to the attacks toward me that feel unfair and unfounded,” Hey- en said. “I am not or have ever been affi liated with any group who believes in the oppression of people of color.” Heyen also offered an apolo- gy to those who were offended by Kyllo’s actions. “We have a lot of work to do. We all acknowledge that. And I’m sorry if our delay in speaking has offended you. That was not our intention,” Heyen said Perry followed with a pas- sionate speech where she chal- lenged her supervisors who, in her estimation, have fallen short in their learning about equity and have discounted the expe- riences of students of color. “Over the past week, as we’ve met with students from our district who have experi- enced real traumas in our class- rooms because of racism, I’ve shared that my ability to keep the equity work moving means I must keep the real issues out of the board room. That goes against the very principles that I’ve been sharing with my staff. I am not being actively antirac- ist. Instead, I tell my team that we are going to show up the next day after a board meeting to do what we’re here for — the right things for kids,” Perry said. “Tonight, the right thing IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR THE COUNTY OF MARION PROBATE DEPARTMENT Case No. 20PB03437 NOTICE TO INTERESTED PERSONS In the Matter of the Estate of, VERDIE MAE BETHUNE, Deceased.

Shame on you.” While the board sat and lis- tened to public comments of disapproval, most were silent throughout. However, Heyen did get defensive in one in- stance after a caller accused her of being a part of the “three percenters” — which is a far- right militia group — and saying that she was a white su- premacist. “I hope Ronnie is listening, who is a very black person and member of the three percenters. I’m sure he will be surprised to fi nd out he is a white suprema- cist,” Heyen said. There were students that even called in that claimed that they would not be returning to school if Kyllo and Heyen re- mained on the board. Moving forward, the board plans to have dialogue this sum- mer with community members about having police in schools. However, there was no agree- ment on a particular process for community engagement before school begins in the fall. SURGE, continued from Page A1 seen in Oregon since the emergence of COVID-19,” the report states. Hospitalizations and deaths are well below the peak in the state. That might sound reassuring, but hospitalizations and deaths are most likely to occur two weeks after the onset of the disease. Another report by the OHA on the trajectory of the disease in Oregon found: “The aggressive community interventions in Oregon were effective in dramatically reducing COVID-19 transmission ... but that transmission appears to be increasing since reopening.” It is not yet known how or if recent protests might have contributed to the spread. public notices NOTICE TO INTERESTED PERSONS M emorial C enters ◆ C remation & B urial for our students is to use my position of power to do what’s right for all of our kids — our transgender students, our Black students, our queer students, our Latinx students, our In- digenous students, our students with disabilities, our Microne- sian students, our immigrant students and every other child that comes through our doors,” Lippold added. “And to all of those who are saying, “It’s about time!” I agree. And I’m truly sorry. This moment is a long-time coming, and I’m committed to getting it right. And there are thousands of educators in Salem-Keizer who share that commitment along with me.” Vice chairperson Jesse Lip- pold also said that the board collectively needed to improve. Similar to Heyen, Lippold also apologized in regard to the March 30 incident. “I just want all of our kids to feel like this is a place where they can feel safe and learn and grow … And I think we owe that to our community, to not have are own agendas but in- stead focus on what is best for kids. That is what I try to come to each meeting with. I’m go- ing to work and continue to try and get better at,” Lippold said. “For the actions back in March, I hope that anyone who was offended could fi nd IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR MARION COUNTY Juvenile Department Case No. 18JU03462 PUBLISHED SUMMONS In the Matter of JULISA EVETT RODRIGUEZ, A Child.
