Board Receives Irrigon Petition Formal reception was given a petition of Irrigon residents to join the Umatilla school dis trict at a special meeting of the Morrow county school board Wednesday night, called for that purpose. The petition had been in formally presented at a regular school board meeting but the special meeting was called to comply with legal formalities. Mrs. Margaret Jorgenson present ed the petition that carried the names of 20 residents of the com munity and she reiterated the reason that the petitioners wish to leave Morrow county and join with Umatilla. Among reasons are that the patrons seek a larger school with more complete curriculum, that consulting engineers have rec ommended that a school not be located less than 25 miles from the proposed Boeing missile test ing center, and that the district has more in common geograph ically with Umatilla than it does with southern Morrow county. Director Bob Sicard presented a petition from Boardman resi dents, signed by 97, opposing the move, pointing out that loss of the high school at Boardman would be a disadvantage to the development of the Boardman area, that Boardman and Irrigon have a low assessed valuation and are aided by the higher val uation of southern Morrow coun ty while Umatilla also has low valuation, and citing other reas ons. Director Fred Martin moved that the petitions be submitted to the State Board of Education and to the Umatilla Rural school board without recommendation, and Sicard moved that all evi dence be submitted to the State Board. Both motions were car ried. Thirteen persons, in addition to the board, were present at the meeting which lasted less than an hour.
