Climbing Together, Salem-Keizer's 2025-27 Strategic Plan
We are proud to present Climbing Together, Salem-Keizer’s 2025-27 Plan.
In the fall of 2024, we started collecting information about our community’s hopes and expectations for Salem-Keizer Public Schools. Based on the leadership and vision of the Salem-Keizer School Board of Directors, community feedback and a review of K-12 research, we’ve developed a compact two-year vision and plan for our district.
