School Budget
Given Scrutiny;
No Change Made
(Continued lrom page 1)
idea from the audience was that
salaries are not too high, but
the board has tended to over
staff its system.
Director Dick said, "We don't
just sit down anci figure out
what we want to wy a teacher
but figure what is needed to re
place teachers." He told of the
difficult In hiring teachers in
competition with other districts
and many in the field going to
areas where pay is better. It wa.?
pointed out that Morrow county
doesn't compete wilh nolghbn,
lug counties and schools ot
with Portland, Salem and Eug
cne, and cities of similar sie,
which take bulk of the crop of
teachers.
Mrs. Helen McCabe of lone
said that she was opposed to an
item in the budget that would
provide for transportation ol
students from one school area
to another and felt that boun
daries should be fixed for eacli
school.
The washers and dryers came
in for considerable attention. A
pair is proposed for the gym in
the new school and another pair
for the home economics depart
ment. Supt. Robert Van Houe
said that those in the gym were
used for laundering athletic
equipment.
Some 30 persons were present
at the hearing and Board Chair
man Wilkinson and Budget
Chairman Anderson shared pre
siding duties. The hearing wus
in contrast to that of last year
when only three questions were
asked.

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.
