  The Chemeketa Capital Projects Bond Measure will be on the ballot this May across the college's service district of Marion, Polk, Yamhill counties, and a portion of Linn county.  SCC’s program, featuring Chemeketa’s President, Dr. Jessica Howard, will address all the steps leading to the decision to put the measure on the ballot last November, lessons learned from that effort, projects the bond would fund if passed, and what it means if the bond does not pass. This informational presentation will also address general aspects of Chemeketa's operation and news to share about its performance.
