Summary
The Salem-Keizer School District board voted its OSBA ballot in favor of Karina Guzman Ortiz, appointed Armando Reaga Munoz to the budget committee and unanimously approved two deputy superintendent contracts during the meeting's business section.
The board completed several procedural actions during the meeting.
On a second OSBA (Oregon School Boards Association) ballot for Marion County region position 11, Director Harnish moved to support Karina Guzman Ortiz; the motion was seconded by Director Fuller and the board recorded four "aye" votes, instructing the board secretary to submit the district's official ballot accordingly.
The board then considered a reopened application process for a budget committee vacancy. With one applicant available virtually, Dr. Sandagiri moved to appoint Armando Reaga Munoz to the district's budget committee; Director Fuller seconded the motion and the board voted to approve the appointment. The new committee member thanked the board and pledged to prioritize students and the community.
Members also approved the consent calendar excluding two pulled items and later unanimously approved contracts for two deputy superintendents after members described the hires, confirmed due diligence and expressed appreciation for their work.
No roll-call vote tallies identifying each board member's individual vote were recorded in the meeting transcript for each item; where a specific tally is reported the board recorded four "aye" votes on the OSBA ballot and unanimous approval on the deputy contracts.
