STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN ACTIVITIES and SOURCES OF
FINANCING*
Revenue from the local option levy as well as increased state revenue has resulted
in financial stability of the Siuslaw School District. The increase enrollment at the
elementary and the addition of all-day kindergarten necessitated the hiring of new
staff for 2015-2016 which includes 2 certificated positions and 1 administrative
position. The Siuslaw School District will also be implementing a self-operating
food service program starting July 1, 2015, which resulted in the addition of 6.25
fte of classified staffing. There was an addition of 4.1 fte during the 14-15 school
year after the budget process to accommodate the district growing enrollment and
STEAM initiatives. This budget is a status quo budget except for the items cited
above.

Help Your Kids Drink (Water) To Their Health
(NAPSA)-According to a
study in the Nutrition
Journal, children between the
ages of 4 and 13 should be
consuming four to six cups of
water per 1,000 calories that
they eat. Around 75 percent
of dietary water comes from
beverages and the remaining
• Plan ahead-Stash water
in your car. Carry water or
another drink wherever you
go and offer it to your kids
when you think they’re
thirsty. Even if they protest,
ask them to take just a few
sips. Chances are they’ll drink
more.
Parents have many ways to get kids excited about
drinking more water to stay happily hydrated and
healthy.
25 percent comes from mois-
ture in foods.
Yet only one in four U.S.
children are getting the
amount they need. Even mild
dehydration can lead to
health problems and trouble
concentrating. For many par-
ents, however, which drinks
to offer their kids-and how to
get their kids to drink them-
can sometimes be a dilemma.
Here are a few tips to help
keep kids happily hydrated:
• Chill out-The U.S.
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention says make
water more appealing by
keeping it cold in the fridge.
• Popsicle me-Make your
own wholesome treats. Take
fruit juice and pour into
Popsicle molds. Pop in the
freezer and in an hour or two
you’ll have a healthful dessert
or a mid-afternoon snack.
• Skip the caffeine-Soda
may be a liquid but it’s actu-
ally dehydrating. A common
ingredient in soft drinks is
caffeine, which is a diuretic,
causing a loss of fluids.
• Fruit saves the day-
Fruit is a great way to help
meet hydration needs, espe-
cially water-dense strawber-
ries, grapefruit, cantaloupe,
peaches, pineapple and, natu-
rally, watermelon.
• Favor the flavor-Add a
slice of fruit for flavor. All too
often, a major hurdle in get-
ting kids to drink water is
taste. A quick and easy way to
add flavor is to infuse water
with fruit. Slice fruit into a
decanter of water and in no
time you’ll have a tasty drink.
Pick one fruit or experiment
with a hybrid. What’s more,
there are now two tasty
USDA
Organic-certified,
Grape- and Fruit Punch-fla-
vored waters that are 17 per-
cent juice, with no added
sugar or artificial sweeteners,
so they can leave kids
refreshed.
To further encourage kids
to be sufficiently hydrated,
these good2grow Juicy
Waters come with a variety of
collectible, reusable caps fea-
turing some of the most pop-
ular characters in kids’ enter-
tainment
and
fashion.
They’re dishwasher safe, recy-
clable and BPA free. The
four- and six-ounce-size bot-
tles are fitted with special
spill-proof

Safety Procedures And Commonsense Practices
Help Farmers And Motorists
by Terrance Williams
(NAPSA)-Larger, faster
equipment used by farmers
combined with increased traf-
fic flow by the public and
other factors have created
increased risks for both farm-
ers and motorists. Consider
these statistics:
Rural Road Crash Facts
The National Safety
Council
estimates
that
15,000 collisions involving
farm vehicles occur on U.S.
roadways each
year.
Consider
this:
• More
than half of
the 32,885
traffic fatali-
Williams ties in the
U.S. occur on
rural roads.
• Crash victims are five to
seven times more likely to die
if arrival time to a hospital
exceeds 30 minutes.
• The time between a
crash and arrival at a hospital
averages 36 minutes in urban
areas and 53 minutes in rural
areas.
Not to be overlooked is
the fact that farm machinery
is getting larger-much larger-
and often extends dangerous-
ly over the center line.
Farmers are also acquiring
more land, requiring addi-
tional road time to travel to
distant fields. Plus, to get the
most from every acre, crops
are planted closer to road-
ways, sometimes visually
obstructing
intersections.
Add to that the disrepair of
many rural roads and bridges
and travel on America’s rural
roadways has become more
dangerous than ever.
Sharing the road with
motorists unfamiliar with
large, slow-moving farm
equipment makes for a very
dangerous
situation.
According to the National
Safety Council, accidents
involving a farm vehicle are
five times more likely to pro-
duce a fatality than any other
type of motor vehicle acci-
dent.
Preventative Measures
Here are a few common-
sense tips to help you avoid
farm-vehicle accidents:
1. Clearly mark your
vehicle. Make sure your vehi-
cle and equipment are well
marked with reflective tape,
lights or flags, particularly if
your equipment is oversized
or extends beyond one lane of
traffic.
2. Use your lights. Keep
headlights, reflectors and turn
signals clear of any dirt or
debris that may have accumu-
lated during work, and always
use turn signals when turning
and changing lanes. Consider
installing magnetic, battery-
operated lights that can be
purchased relatively cheaply.
3. Install proper signage.
Properly install slow-moving
vehicle (SMV) emblems so
motorists around you are
aware of the difference in
speed between your vehicle
and theirs.
4. Watch your mirrors.
Always use rearview and side
mirrors so you know your
position on the roadway, as
well as that of other
motorists. The mirrors will
help make you aware of your
vehicle’s distance from the
shoulder.
5. Secure your load.
Equipment that is being
towed must be secured and
properly balanced. Double-
check that safety-hitch pins
are securely fastened before
getting on the road.
6. Take it slow. Drive
slowly, especially when mak-
ing turns or driving down
steep inclines. Lower speeds
will help you avoid a rollover.
7. Travel on less-busy
roads. When possible, avoid
highly traveled roads, espe-
cially during times when traf-
fic is heaviest.
8. Keep passengers off
the equipment. Do not let
passengers, especially chil-
dren, ride anywhere on the
vehicle except for inside the
cabin.
9. Know the state laws
and
regulations.
Stay
informed of the latest codes
and requirements, as well as
recommendations from the
American
Society
of
Agricultural and Biological
Engineers for equipment such
as vehicle markers.
10. Practice good main-
tenance. Always keep your
vehicles and equipment well
maintained and your farm
equipment insurance and
farm car insurance current.

ered the No. 1 farm insurer in

the dangers and risks of navi-
gating large farm equipment
on rural roads.
