As costs rise and enrollment falls, Salem-Keizer superintendent warns of budget concerns Salem-Keizer Public Schools is preparing for a "significant" budget gap in the 2024-2025 school year, new Superintendent Andrea CastaƱeda said during Tuesday's school board work session. At the end of May, the board adopted a $1.28 billion budget for the upcoming 2023-24 school year built on the assumption of a $9.9 billion two-year state school fund allocation from the Oregon Legislature. Instead, after the end of a historic walkout in the Senate, the Legislature approved a historic $10.
