What Salem-Keizer parents, board members said about proposed closures
More than 40 parents, students, and community members spoke at an Oct. 20 Salem-Keizer Public Schools board meeting, again opposing a proposal to close six elementary schools. It was the second public meeting centered on a proposal released Oct. 9 . The district is proposing to close Brush College, Candalaria, Cummings, Englewood, Liberty, and Richmond ahead of fall 2027. The closures would be the first in the district since 2012, when the school board passed a resolution to move Middle Grove Elementary students to Chavez Elementary and repurpose Middle Grove. While district officials said the plan to close six elementary schools is "unavoidable" amid declining enrollment, community members have strongly opposed it during lengthy board meetings. Parents have shown up in school colors and gear to fiercely defend their schools, and they've gathered hundreds of petition signatures in hopes of keeping them off the chopping block. They've also lobbied other local elected leaders. Candalaria parents told the Statesman Journal they were meeting with Sen. Deb Patterson, D-Salem, and Rep. Tom Andersen, D-Salem, on Oct. 21. And on Oct. 28, other parents plan to gather at the state Capitol to rally for alternative solutions. Here are three takeaways from the Oct.
