West Salem approves full-day 4K and lifts the 4K open-enrollment cap
What happened
On November 10 the board approved a full-time, full-day 4K program with option 1 transportation (5-1). On June 8 it removed the cap on 4K open enrollment for 2026-27, and on June 22 it added a 4K teacher and a 0.65 FTE aide.
Why it matters to families
Full-day 4K changes the school day for four-year-olds and their families, and removing the cap lets more out-of-district children enroll.
The evidence
November 10 minutes record the 5-1 vote. June 8 minutes record the 5-0 vote on the cap after two parents spoke. June 22 minutes record the added 4K staff.
