The Salem-Keizer School District announced plans to eliminate 130 positions for the 2026-27 school year. This decision stems from declining student enrollment and a need to cut $23 million from the budget. Approximately 60 teacher jobs and 60 classified employee positions will be cut from schools. Most affected employees will be reassigned or replaced by retiring staff. Up to five classified employees could face layoffs. These reductions aim to avoid widespread disruptions seen in previous budget cuts.
