Salem-Keizer School Board approves
acceptance of the donation for CTEC
At its meeting on Tuesday, Oct.
12, the Salem-Keizer School Board
of Directors voted unanimously to
approve the acceptance of the donation
for the building and land where the dis-
trict operates its Career and Technical
Education Center (CTEC). The center
houses 10 of the district’s 54 career and
technical education programs.
The donation comes as a result of
the innovative public-private part-
nership between Salem-Keizer Public
Schools (SKPS) and Mountain West
Investment Corporation to provide
more career and technical education
opportunities for high school juniors
and seniors across the district.
“What started as a vision is now a
truly remarkable opportunity for our
community,” said SKPS superinten-
dent Christy Perry. “Year after year,
we have seen the impact CTEC has
made on students who graduate with
a competitive advantage as they enter
the next chapter of their careers. Many
go on to a trade school, university, or
directly into high-skill, high-wage and
high-demand careers.”
CTEC fi rst opened in 2015 with the
fi rst two programs: Manufacturing,
Welding
and
Engineering
and
Residential Construction. Each year,
the partnership was committed to grow
the facility by two additional programs,
and now, at its full capacity, serves
nearly 700 juniors and seniors in 10
programs.
“Our team at Mountain West is
grateful for the partnership with
Salem-Keizer Public Schools and look
forward to watching students fl ourish
through participation in the CTEC pro-
grams,” said Jason Tokarski, vice pres-
ident of Mountain West. “Our hope is
that CTEC’s impact is felt in our com-
munity for generations to come and
we humbly thank everyone that came
together to make it happen.”
The decision from the board of direc-
tors marks the next chapter in CTEC’s
story as SKPS formally takes owner-
ship of the property, which was previ-
ously leased from SUNTEK Oregon,
LLC and CRTCTEC, LLC. The district
will continue to partner with Mountain
West Investment Corporation, the busi-
ness community and industry partners
to provide students with robust CTE
programs.
Making the vision of CTEC a real-
ity required ongoing collaboration and
support from district, community and
industry partners. A full list of past and
current community leaders who played
integral roles in preparing for this his-
toric donation is available on SKPS
website.

tory of the public-private partnership
