Good evening, Salem.

Two juniors at South Salem High School want to talk to you.

Western University of Health Sciences Lebanon Oregon

Students Sofia Castellanos and Noah Mayer have organized a community forum about the district’s expected budget cuts and bargaining with teachers and classified workers. The event will be Wednesday, Jan. 10 at South, 1910 Church St. S.E., from 6-7:30 p.m.

Castellanos told Salem Reporter she wanted to provide a space for concerns raised by teachers and the Salem-Keizer Education Association to be given equal weight to talking points from district leaders. She’s hoping to get both students and adults in the community to attend.

We’ll have a more detailed story Monday about the event and what the students want adults in Salem to know.

Here’s some of today’s news. You can always find our latest reports anytime on our website.
