Summary

The board voted to endorse Karina Guzman Ortiz in the OSBA Marion Region position 11 runoff, following a discussion referencing Salem-Keizer's prior endorsement; the endorsement was adopted by voice vote and placed on the resolutions list.

The Cascade School District Board discussed and approved an endorsement for the Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) Marion Region runoff for position 11, placing Karina Guzman Ortiz on the district's ballot endorsement.

Board Chair framed the conversation by noting Salem-Keizer had already endorsed Guzman Ortiz and said Cascade would back that selection; trustees agreed and the resolution was moved and adopted by voice vote. "If we are indifferent and have no opinion, I'm fine backing the candidate that they have put their vote with," the chair said when explaining the rationale.

The endorsement will be included in the resolutions packet and was passed with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript.
