SALEM, Ore. — Teachers in Oregon’s second-largest school district have been told to contact law enforcement if they learn a student is sexually active, even consensually with someone their age.
Officials in the Salem-Keizer School District told the Statesman Journalthey are complying with state law. Under Oregon law, any person younger than 18 is unable to give consent, so any sexual activity is considered abuse and must be reported by people who work in certain professions, including teachers.
