Andrea Castaneda, a top executive in Oklahoma's largest school system who has ties to Oregon, will be the next superintendent of the Salem-Keizer School District. The Salem-Keizer School Board affirmed its choice during its public meeting on Tuesday, March 7, but had concluded she was the top choice after evaluating finalists in late February. She will succeed Christy Perry, taking over Oregon's second-largest school district on July 1. The school board will negotiate with her on the terms of a three-year contract.
