The Spring Creek Hatchery sanctuary is not necessary this time of year. district decision a surprise to some (Continued from page 1) On the other hand, many in Warm Springs are not happy that Dawn Smith will no longer be at the Roots program. They spoke in her support at the school board meeting last week. About 40 supporters were on hand, and about 15 advocated for keeping Dawn at Roots, which she helped establish two years ago. The school board, though, voted to continue with the changes proposed in the Bridges Career and Technical High School plan. People who want Dawn to continue with Roots say the pro- gram is graduating more stu- dents than were graduating with the pre-Roots alternative edu- cation program in War m Springs. Another point, they say, is that school officials did not meet with the Warm Springs residents on the proposed change prior to its adoption. The change came as a surprise to Dawn Smith as well. Part of the surprise, she said, “is because we’ve been moving in a positive direction.” The Roots program saw 13 stu- dents graduate in the most recent school year. The pre-Roots alter- native education program in Warm Springs would often see two or three new graduates. Another point is that Dawn spent her time at Roots teaching and working with the students; so the program in effect already had two teachers. Dawn is a certified administrator, though not a certi- fied teacher, and would not be eli- gible to apply for the new teaching position at Roots. On behalf of the district, Rick Molitor said the Roots program can do better. “We’re not trying to diminish the Roots program, but to enhance it—to improve graduation rates, performance and attendance,” he said. In other school news: MOU The Confederated Tribes and School District 509-J con- tinue to work toward a new multi-year education agree- ment. The current agreement expires this summer. The Education Committee and Council say vague obliga- tions in the current agreement should be corrected with a more specific set of perfor- mance standards. T he Tribal Education Committee and Tribal Coun- cil have developed a draft proposal. The parties are scheduled to meet on the agreement on Tuesday, July 12, at 11 a.m. Dave McMechan/Spilyay Young people in the Native Aspirations Soaring to the Future program spent part of a day last week creating sidewalk chalk art along Warm Springs Street. Each youth was given one sidewalk square and chalk, and was asked to create a drawing dedicated to someone important he or she had lost. 4202 Holliday St. Call 541- 615-0555
