The annual Turnaround Achievement Awards recognized students from across Salem and Keizer.

Whiteaker Middle School began using weapons detectors this week. Claggett Creek is planned to receive them in March.

Robin Buckhingham, Claggett Creek Middle School principal, has been cited as the state's top middle school principal.

Students in Keizer secondary schools have improved in math and English skills, according to newly released state testing data.

Keizer's middle schools will get weapon detectors later this year. Installation of the safety upgrades will begin in October and are scheduled to be completed by April.

An online threat to Claggett Creek Middle School over the weekend led to the arrest of a 13-year old male on Monday, but that threat was only one of multiple the Salem-Keizer Public Schools received for Keizer area schools.

Middle school and high school students from the Keizer-Salem area were honored, including three from Keizer, on Tuesday at the 27th Turnaround Achievement Awards at the Keizer Community Center.

The official list of nominees for the 2023 Crystal Apple Awards was released, and six Keizer school educators are among the 89 names up for recognition.
