The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
It’s been a hot week around Salem, and students and teachers are feeling it, with some classrooms staying at 86 or 87 degrees for much of the day.
We’re preparing a story today about excessive heat in classrooms around the Salem-Keizer School District. If you’re a student, parent or educator, we’d like to hear how temperatures in the classroom are affecting your ability to learn or teach.
Please reach out to Managing Editor Rachel Alexander at [email protected].
Here are some of our latest reports. You can find more on our website.

Try Salem Reporter’s Obituary Service
Our digital obituary service is now available to anyone. It’s easy to use, more generous with space and photos than most, and priced to be affordable.
We have guidelines and an online form to use, but here are the basics:
*Obituary text has no limit (but no book-length submissions, please).
*Up to five photos can be loaded to share – not just one.
*Obituaries first appear in our obituary section, then in a summary of the week’s obituaries. That summary then appears on our Facebook and Twitter channels.
*The price is a flat $100.
Go HERE to use the submission form.
