Salem-Keizer Public Schools Superintendent Christy Perry has proposed a $1.3 billion budget for the 2023-24 school year. That's about $89 million less than the current school year's budget. Enrollment also is expected to decrease next year, from about 39,307 to 38,857. 'With the present fiscal uncertainty, resources committed directly to students are critical,' Perry told the district's budget committee. 'We are in a precarious fiscal position, and it will be essential the new superintendent and current school board monitor the fiscal health of the district as they navigate this biennium.
