Your Monday evening update on Salem news

Good evening, Salem.

We’ve seen a lot of questions and concerns about the deep budget cuts planned for the city of Salem and the Salem-Keizer School District.

Western University of Health Sciences Lebanon Oregon

Our team is working on coverage to better explain how our local governments got to this point and what efforts leaders have and haven’t made to avert cuts.

We also want to make sure citizens know how to get involved and let decisionmakers know their priorities. To that end, we have two guides below explaining the budget process for both the city and school district, and opportunities to weigh in.

Those stories aren’t behind our paywall, so you can share them with anyone you know who might want to get involved. We do our best to keep urgent civic information accessible to everyone.

Here’s some of today’s news. Find all our coverage on our website here.
