SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The Salem-Keizer School District is considering closing some small schools and cutting 400 teaching positions next year to offset a $55 million budget shortfall.
Superintendent Sandy Husk presented options Tuesday night to a budget committee.
The Statesman Journal reports the cuts could be worse. The budget plans assume the Legislature will adopt a school fund higher than the one proposed by the governor. It also assumes employee unions will agree to reduce pay and benefits by at least $11 million.
