Your Friday evening update on Salem news
Good evening, Salem.
If you live in west Salem, you have a chance to apply for an empty seat on the Salem-Keizer School Board.
The board is seeking applicants to fill the seat vacated when Osvaldo Avila resigned earlier this month. Avila represented zone 1, which covers west Salem and a portion of south Salem.
An appointee would serve the remainder of Avila’s term, through June 30, 2025.
Applicants must have lived in zone 1 for at least a year and be registered to vote. They cannot be a school district employee.
Applications must be received by March 1 at 5 p.m. to be considered. An application packet and more information is available on the district website.
