Part of the reason enrollment is declining is parents are looking more at online and charter schools.
I know as a parent I was VERY disappointed with Salem/Keizer school district when my son was in 6th grade. We pulled him from public school and enrolled him in Connections Academy, their online program was FAR SUPERIOR to Salem/Keizers curriculum and they provided a higher quality program that was a lot more cost effective.
There is far too much “dead wood” that is obscenely overpaid in the Salem/Keizer school district-starting at the top of the food chain.(Castaneda)!
My son is graduating from Oregon State this June with 2 engineering Bachelors degrees-no thanks to Salem-Keizer school district.
Excellent article. If I had millions of dollars, I would star a trade school (fire science, mechanics, CNA, auto body, graphic design) Fire science students would have family wage jobs in a few years. They would be paying taxes that would go towards school funding. Ten students following a career path is worth pursuing.
