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

and know that I would never
intentionally hurt anyone or
cause offense to people because
I have nothing but love and
compassion for our students
and for people of color.”
The public comments be-
gan more than an hour into the
meeting, many of which were
critical of the board’s past ac-
tions.
“Year after year, students
have been present at board
meetings to express their con-
cerns, and yet, time and time
again, you have failed to listen
to them,” one caller said. “Not
only have you failed to listen to
them … you have invalidated
their experiences and under-
mined their presence at meet-
ings. 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.

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.

Vice chairperson Jesse Lip-

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

that to our community, to not
