Highway user tax receipts
enrich Sandy’s coffers
The city of Sandy's coffers
were enriched by more than
$20,000 in highway user tax
funds during the last half of
1900
During the period from Ju
ly 1 through Dec. 31,1980, the
S tate H ig h w a y D iv is io n
distributed $20,803 76 to San
dy for use in local road and
street programs, it was an-
nounced last week
The allocation is based on
the statutory 12.17 percent,
and has been distributed on a
monthly basis. Sandy was
just one of 241 cities in the
state to receive the funds
The apportionment is bas
ed on the population of each
city as determined by the
C e n te r fo r P o p u la tio n
R e s e a rc h and C ensus,
Portland State University.
Sandy's population was 2.930
on Dec 30, according to the
center
The funds come fro m
motor vehicle registrations
and operator's license fees,
gasoline tax, use fuel tax,
motor ca rrie r fees and fines
and penalties collected for
violations of the size and
weight statutes

Dropouts dispelling notions o f failure
A re c e n t s u rv e y o f
students who left Oregon
highschools before gradua
tion dispels the popular no
tion that they are failures
and don’t intend to continue
their education.
The Oregon Department of
Education, in conjunction
with Oregon Attitudes, a
p u b lic o p in io n re search
firm , surveyed 529 students
who left high school during
the 1979-80 school year
“ I am alarmed that nearly
one-third of our students
leave high school before
g ra d u a tio n ,” said Verne
D u n c a n , s ta te
school
superintendent. ‘ ‘ But we
needed to know more about
them, why they left, what
they’ve been doing and what
their plans are.”
D u n ca n
s a id
th e
“ dropout” label doesn’t fit
most of the early school
leavers “ Few had academic
or conduct problems,” he
said. “ They left for a variety
of complex reasons — many
not d ir e c tly re la te d to
school.
“ Most of those interviewed
were anxious to share their
thoughts and grateful that
someone cared enough to
listen,” he added.
E ighty-three percent of
the early leavers said they
intend to pursue their educa
tion and 33 percent had
already returned to some
form of schooling by the tim e
of the September interview.
“ I t ’s discouraging to see
students leave school,” Dun
can said. “ But for some
students an alternative to
the four-year high school
may be more effective. My
greatest concern is that
these early leavers know
what educational options are
available.”
Duncan said his staff is
taking several steps to help
potential and actual early
school leavers.
A Youth Education and
E m p lo y m e n t P ro g ra m ,
sponsored by the Depart
ment of Education and the
Employment Division, w ill
use a $500,000 federal grant
to
e s ta b lis h
seven
demonstration sites across
the state to offer guidance
ply with Senate B ill 854,
which requires them to ad
vise students of educational
a lte rn a tiv e s before they
drop out.
Only 26 ‘percent of those
surveyed cited conduct or
related matters as a reason
for leaving school and only 5
percent mentioned grades or
academ ic d iffic u lty . The
m ost fre q u e n tly s ta te d
reasons were: teachers, 19
percent; dislikeof school in
general, 15 percent; dislike
for career and educational
opportunities to students
who may leave or have left
school
Duncan w ill appoint a
team , re p re s e n ta tiv e of
other youth-serving agencies
as well as business and
labor, to develop recommen
dations for specifically ad
dressing the needs of poten
tial and actual early school
leavers.
He has directed his staff to
see that school districts com-
of specifically named school,
13 percent, and pregnancy,
11 percent of females
S ixty-nine percent had
worked since leaving school
and 46 percent were working
when
in te r v ie w e d
in
September
Eighty-three percent said
they had future education
plans. F orty percent planned
to attend a community col
lege and 30 percent said they
w ill e n te r the G eneral
Educational Development
(GED) program.
