What is PACE?

Our district is committed to being proactive when it comes to problem solving and making the district’s future better. Every month, a group of 20 district leaders meet to communicate about issues and concerns in the school district. This group is called PACE.

PACE is the Professional Action Committee for Education of the Salem-Keizer School District. Membership is comprised of five representatives from each of the following groups: Salem Keizer Association of Classified Employees, Salem Keizer Education Association, Salem Association of School Administrators, and central office administration.

“PACE members meet once a month for a full day – that’s a major commitment for all four groups,” Superintendent Sandy Husk said. “It’s really important to us to do the work we’re doing and to be open in communications.”

The purpose of PACE is to have continuing conversations about issues that are of importance to each and every student and employee of the district. PACE collaborates to find solutions to issues that may have an impact on our mission of increased student achievement along with a safe and productive work and learning environment for our students and staff.
