A community committee overseeing more than $700 million in school construction projects will meet Monday evening to hear updates on the Salem-Keizer School District’s progress.

The district’s Community Bond Oversight Committee is tasked with monitoring renovations that are ongoing at dozens of schools. The projects are being paid for through a property tax measure voters approved in 2018.

The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. Monday over Zoom. Members will review progress on current construction projects and a draft report for the school board. A full agenda and information to RSVP is available on the district website.

On Tuesday, the Salem-Keizer School Board is holding a work session to hear updates from district leaders about 2020 graduation numbers and plans for returning to in-person school.

Work sessions are public meetings where board members discuss issues or hear updates, but don’t take action.

The board will also have a board development training session from the Oregon School Boards Association.

The meeting is from 5-7:30 p.m. Jan. 26, and will be broadcast on YouTube and Capitol Community Media channel 21. More information is available on the agenda.
