Salem (Dec. 9, 2025) — At its regular meeting, the Salem-Keizer SD 24J board cast the district's official ballots for several Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) positions and approved the consent calendar.
Board action: A director moved to nominate Karina Guzman Ortiz for Marion County's position 11 on the OSBA board of directors; another director seconded, and the board approved the nomination. During discussion some trustees also offered support for an alternative nominee, Satish Chandra Giri, but board rules and county allocations constrained nominations in this floor discussion.
