The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter

Good morning, Salem.

The leaders of the Salem-Keizer School District will talk Tuesday about the low share of third grade students who can read at the level expected in Oregon.

Western University of Health Sciences Lebanon Oregon

The district’s school board meets at 6 p.m. for a work session in the boardroom at 2575 Commercial Street S.E.

State test data released earlier this month showed just one quarter of district third graders were deemed “proficient” on a state test of reading and writing in English. That number fell substantially during the pandemic and has yet to recover.

The meeting is open to the public and will be streamed live on YouTube in English and Spanish. See the agenda here.
