School board
Continued from A1
“Chess club in each school, bring-
ing music back in … It would build
a community of parents that want to
bring their kids to school every day.”
Hartfield and the Redmond School
Board also created an equity task force
for the district in September, intended
to address inequities in local schools,
combat explicit and implicit racism
and diversify the district’s workforce.
The task force has done well getting
set up this year, Hartfield said, but
she’d push them to set concrete goals
if reelected.
“That way it’s not a task force in
idea, it’s a task force that’s actually
moving forward to doing something
that would be measurable to all stu-
dents,” she said.
One of the equity task force’s mem-
bers, Stephanie Hunter, is Hartfield’s
lone challenger.
Hunter is a behavioral specialist at
the Opportunity Foundation of Cen-
tral Oregon, a Redmond nonprofit
that supports people with disabilities.
She is the mother of a senior at Red-
mond Proficiency Academy charter
school and a foster son who is in a
post-graduate high school program
for students with developmental dis-
abilities.
Many of Hunter’s top concerns
have to do with helping schools and
students recover from the COVID-19
pandemic. Those include making sure
attendance bounces back next year af-
ter a sudden drop, improving school
air-filtration systems to prevent the
spread of COVID-19 and investing in
Police

The proposed communica-
tions specialist would engage
in “telling our story,” and not
act as a traditional public in-
formation officer responsible
for relaying official informa-
tion as a uniformed represen-
tative of the department.
“We need to constantly en-
gage and communicate with
our community, and I’m look-
ing to do that on a regular, on-
going basis,” Krantz said.
City Manager Eric King re-
cently revised earlier dire bud-
get projections for 2021-2023,
with revenue now expected
to hit pre-pandemic levels or
higher.
Krantz called the requests

students’ mental health.
“Our kids have been through
trauma,” said Hunter, 46. “We need to
prioritize individual attention, espe-
cially for kids who have not done well.”
Teachers’ mental health is also
something Hunter worries about.
If elected, she’d push for providing
counseling for teachers, donating spa
gift cards and enforcing a more rea-
sonable work-life balance.
“I think it should be normalized
that teachers don’t work evenings and
weekends,” Hunter said.
One of Hunter’s strengths is her
drive to connect with Redmond com-
munity members and bring their
ideas to the table, she said.
“I have been a bridge builder for 20
years,” she said. “I will go anywhere,
and I will talk to anyone.”
Position 2
As a teenager in Redmond,
Michelle Salinas had to temporarily
drop out of school to take care of her
younger sisters after her parents aban-
doned them.
Salinas eventually re-enrolled at
Redmond High School, earned her di-
ploma and now serves as the assistant
branch manager at Bank of America
in Redmond. She wants to be on the
school board so local schools can bet-
“right-sizing” and said the de-
partment could still use more
people.
In 2020, there were 51,320
calls for service to Bend Police
Department.
The majority of calls to po-
lice do not result in an arrest,
and a long-running program
in Redmond and Bend sends
professional “community ser-
vice officers” to many none-
mergency calls, like parking
complaints or nuisance ani-
mals.
Though Redmond is cur-
rently proposing adding two
community service officers to
its budget, there are plans in
Bend to add to the nine such
positions on staff. Krantz said
he’d like to one day.
”Working with the available
Visinoni
Summers
ter assist students who went through
tough times like she did.
“I was an underprivileged child
who had to struggle for everything,”
said Salinas, 40. “I want more repre-
sentation of those underprivileged
children.”
Salinas has two children at Hugh
Hartman Elementary School. She was
also the co-chair and manager for the
political action committee that helped
pass the Redmond school bond last
November.
Some of Salinas’ biggest con-
cerns are keeping students safely in
schools in-person, addressing post-
COVID-19 learning loss and support-
ing the equity task force.
A state Legislature-approved bill,
awaiting Gov. Kate Brown’s signature,
would allow school districts to vote
on whether or not to continue to al-
low permitted, concealed firearms on
school property. Redmond School
District currently does not have a pol-
icy addressing visitors carrying weap-
ons in schools, but staff and students
are banned from doing so.
Salinas said she was unsure how
she felt about banning visitors from
bringing concealed guns to schools.
“As someone who comes from a
family who owns guns, I don’t want to
see our rights being taken away,” she
budget, it’s just not one of the
positions we’ll be able to add,”
he said.
On the county side, Sher-
iff Shane Nelson is asking the
Deschutes County Commis-
sion for funding for five addi-
tional sworn deputies.
An ongoing study by Port-
land State University has
found that Bend has fewer
sworn police officers than
other cities its size.
From 2010 to 2019, Bend
had an average of 1.1 offi-
cers per 1,000 residents, while
similarly sized U.S. cities had
an average of 1.6 officers per
1,000 residents.
The study also accounts
for Bend’s low crime rate by
comparing the city to others
with lower crime rates, but
said. “With that being said, I think it’s
so important for our students to feel
safe and be safe.”
Michael Summers, owner of Bend-
based Summers Flooring and De-
sign, said if elected, he hopes to heal
the divide between school staff and
some local families. The tension be-
tween the two groups got heated after
COVID-19 mandates from Oregon
Department of Education required
students to learn online, he said.
“Teachers and administrators just
got beat up last year,” Summers, 39,
said. “I felt like I can come in and
help.”
Summers has three daughters in
Redmond schools — two in middle
school at Redmond Proficiency Acad-
emy and one at Hugh Hartman Ele-
mentary.
One thing Summers wishes Red-
mond schools did better is keeping
parents informed. For example, even
though he was happy to hear of Mo-
saic Medical hosting vaccine clin-
ics inside schools, he thinks parents
weren’t given enough information
about them.
“I feel like if parents can trust the
board to keep them in the loop — es-
pecially on health-related things —
that would ease so much tension,” he
said.
The board should also be more
clear to parents about the goals of the
equity task force, Summers said. At
the moment, some conservative fam-
ilies in Redmond are anxious about
it, and they may want more involve-
ment, he said.
“If they feel their input is taken into
account, and they have a choice, then
still found that Bend is sig-
nificantly “under-policed,”
according to PSU criminol-
ogist Kris Henning, who
conducted the study along-
side graduate student Holly
Schorr.
From 2010 to 2019, Bend
Police increased its ranks of
sworn officers from 88 to
101, a rise of 14.8%. In that
time, Bend’s population in-
creased 26.4%, from 79,556 to
100,588.
According to Henning, all
Oregon cities followed this
trend, decreasing statewide
from 1.5 officers per 1,000
residents in 2010, to 1.3 of-
ficers per 1,000 residents in
2019.

that unnecessary tension is diffused,
and we can get somewhere,” Summers
said.
Summers didn’t know enough
about the guns-in-schools bill to have
a strong opinion on it, he said.
If elected to the school board Ra-
chel Visinoni — an office assistant and
mother of a kindergartener at Tom
McCall Elementary — said she’d push
for more opportunities for open dia-
logue between parents and the district.
“We need to find that sense of com-
munity again, and a sense of compro-
mise between the parent’s voices and
the school board,” said Visinoni, 44.
Like Hartfield, Visinoni wants more
extracurricular activities for elemen-
tary students. She also wants to host
teacher-parent sessions, which could
ease tensions between the groups, she
said.
“If we need to do something like an
open forum, where parents can ask
teachers anything they need to, I think
that would be incredibly beneficial,”
Visinoni said.
If the Redmond School Board must
make a decision on visitors bringing
guns into schools, Visinoni would ad-
vocate for banning firearms on school
property.
“I am 100% pro-Second Amend-
ment, always have been, but I can-
not think of any reason why a par-
ent would need to bring a concealed
weapon to a basketball game or par-
ent-teacher conference,” she said.
“Keep them in the car.”
Lacey Butts, whose name will ap-
pear on the ballot, is no longer run-
ning for office.

U.S. restores trans health protections
Associated Press
The federal government will
protect gay and transgender
people against sex discrimina-
tion in health care, the Biden
administration declared Mon-
day, reversing a Trump-era
policy that narrowed rights
at the intersection of chang-
ing social mores and sensitive
medical decisions.
It marked the latest step by
President Joe Biden to advance
the rights of gay and transgen-
der people across society, from
military service, to housing, to
employment opportunities.
The policy announce-
ment by the Department of
Health and Human Services
affirms that federal laws for-
bidding sex discrimination in
health care also protect gay
and transgender people. The
Trump administration had
defined “sex” to mean gen-
der assigned at birth, thereby
excluding transgender peo-
ple from the law’s umbrella of
protection.
Both opponents and sup-
porters of Biden’s action said
it’s likely to lead to litigation.
The American Medical As-
sociation said in a statement
that the Biden administration
“did the right thing” by ending
“a dismal chapter which a fed-
eral agency sought to remove
civil rights protections.”
