Cel ling the Fair Grounds ready for the College Rodeo has prevented PE classes, track meet and track practice from being held there this week. Chairman Jack Sumner and Supt. Ron Daniels have a meet ing scheduled with the contract or of the Riverside Building. Mr. Sumner plans to attend the Oregon School Board Ass'n. meeting In Pendleton on Satur day In Eugene. Principal Al Martin reviewed problems of repairing an RCA It! MM projector. Board advised that It be repaired. If the budg- t allows for the purchase of another 1G mm projector, one of the older machines could be brought In to use In the district ft ice. The board l.s considering sell lug two lots tne district owns in lone. The superintendent was sked to check with the assess ors office on Ihe TCV of the lots. Boardman's Early Dismissal Principal Dan Daltoso reported on tne early dismissal lor tne last 8 weeks for one day a week t Riverside High School. He tid he felt it was helpful i developing a working relation between the teachers and pro gram of the Junior high and sen ior high. A philosophy of the school district and the school was discussed then a program was developed for the Junior High and the Senior High to head the same way education ally. An agreement on fundu mental points was reached and then they branched Into the English program which was de veloped along lines similar to the new approach at Heppner High School. In Business Education the classes will be completely indi vidualized. It was found that students in Typing I and Typing II could work very well together. Quali fying tests show progress equal to when they were separated. The math program was struc tured with the view of grouping students according to what they know rather than within a grade. Grades 7-8-9 will be test ed every week. As a basic con cept is learned, the individual goes for another concept. Mr. Daltoso said that the 8 hours taken from school time was instrumental in the teach ers taking 20 extra hours of their own time in working out the program. Announcements The three graduations were announced, the Primary election and new tax base for the school district election on May 26 and the next meeting on June 15 at 8 p.m. at the district office. : 9r . r i n ''- i i II I School District Tax Base Election ARDON AND PATTI LOCKYER, Gospel singers, recording art ists and Evangelist, will be the special guests of Assembly of Cod Church at Heppner on May 22, Friday, The Lockyers, who tour widely in the west have been featured at several camps and conventions. They have a very interesting pre-1 This final news article, prior to the tax base election next Tuesday, will reflect on some of the reasons for caning a lax Base Election at this time. It was the feeling of the School Board members that the school district Is now operating on a very business like basis with bids and price quotas be ing taken on all major purch ases and all expenditures oeing accurately recorded on a daily basis. This type of operation pro vldes more for the money spent and Indicates exactly where the money Is being used The school district has also reduced teaching staff by five teachers in the last two years. The teacher-student ratlo In Moi row County Is now very close to the state average and reflects the board"s philosophy to reduce costs vherever possible without harming the educational pro gram. This years budget received careful scrutiny by all local ad visory committee members as well as budget committee mem- l-ers. Over $30,000 of requested funds were out before adoption by tne budget committee. It was the feeling of all involved that the 1970-71 budget was a sound. economical budget. For reasons indicated above Both the Portland School Dia trlct budget and the Morrow County budget are good examp les of budgets that must be drastically reduced to remain within the 6 limitation. If either budget required a vote on funds beyond the 6 limitation, both would be considerably higher than they are now. In summary, the school board is asking that the voters afford the school district the same op portunlty that other Morrow County taxing agencies have, and that Is a realistic tax base with a realistic Increase. This will permit more realistic plan nlng by those who are best In formed on the problems and op erating costs of the school dis trlct. fH.100 ,la Cn,temp0iarY.afd ,he directors "of the school dis- f mliTistnvl tmudIm ttrsA tnlnia. ...... .. . .. ; 7" .:JT: T" ,nct Iolt tha year was the -.t " .

They held their Green Hand initiation on May 18. Kirk Robinson, reporter 1969-70 ers the question of establishing a new acnooi District Tax Base. There are people who contend that a tax base plus 6 is more than is needed and they are re luctant to approve the new. tax base because they feel that the entire b will be used each year when it is not necessary. Still others are reluctant to ap prove a new tax base because they feel that the 6 will not meet inflation, and the rising cost of education. These people feel that the 6 will be the maximum figure that school ooards and budget committeps win approve and this will re sinci salary increases as wpll as increases in other areas of tne budget. In looking at taxine 'agencies mat operate within the 6 lim itation, there is a clear indica tion that every attempt is made to operate within the funds available and not to hold pW.. tions for funds beyond the 6 mimauon. mis concept is sup ported by the fact that the ave rage tax levy increase, in dis tricts with a liveable tax base, is considerably less than it is in districts with an unrealistic tax base.
