New Board Policy Geared
To "Preventive Discipline"
Much of the Monday night
mooting of the Morrow County
School District board or educa
tion was spont in "preventive
discipline". The board reviewed,
discussed and adopted new pol
icios resulting from prior board
action or now legislation.
Policy adoptions included: 30
minute duty free lunch period
for all certificated staff mem
hers below the rank of princi
pal. It is hoped scheduling can
bo arranged zo that aides will
not be necessary.
Health Insurance program for
all employees, tuition reim
bursement for teachers, Compul
sory retirement, Election proced
ures for consultation representa
lives, Non-Rosident pupils tuit
ion policy, Grievance Procedure,
Jury Duty, Sick Leave, Teacher
Evaluation, Fire Drills, Pay Day,
Grooming and Dress for Teach
ers and Student Drug Policy.
Specific guide lines were set
up in each policy adoption.
Mr. Daniels said he was sure
that the drug problem would
be more evident this year than
last.
Student Drug Policy
The Student Drug Policy
reads: The state law prohibits
the . possession, use or sale of
narcotics and habit-forming
drugs. This obligates the school
district to enforce a policy pro
hibiting the possession, use, sale
or source of supply of narcotics
and habit -forming drugs on or
near the school grounds or at
any time students are going to
or from school or while being
transported to any school-sponsored
actlyityj
The school board also wishes
to emphasize that as a part of
the principal's regular duties he
is authorized to conduct period
ic locker inspections and may,
if he deems it necessary, make
spot locker checks at any time.
Recent court decisions have
clearly affirmed the right of the
administration to search stu
dent lockers.
Violations
POSSESSION: Students in vio
lation of this policy for the first
time by being In possession of
any narcotic or habit-forming
drug will be suspended from
school and may be subject to
referral to the Board of Direct
ors and the Board will consider
expulsion from school. A confer
ence with the parents or guard
ian will bo required for rein
statement. A second violation of
being in possession will be re
ferred to the Board of Directors
and the Board will consider ex
pulsion from school.
USE: Students in violation of
the policy for the first time by
using narcotics or habit-forming
drugs will be suspended from
school and may be subjected to
a referrul by the Board of Di
rectors and the Board will con
sider expulsion from school. A
conference with the parents or
guardian will be required for
reinstatement. A second viola
tion of using the narcotics or
habit-forming drugs will be re
ferred to the Board of Directors
and the Board will consider ex
pulsion from school.
SALE OR SUPPLY: Students
in violation of this policy by
selling or supplying narcotics or
habit-forming drugs will be re
ferred to the Board of Directors
and the Board will consider ex
pulsion from school.
STUDENTS FEINTING the
selling, supplying, using or un
der tho influence of narcotics
or habit-forming drugs will be
subject to disciplinary action
commensurate with the ser
iousness of tho act.
Drug violations by students
either In possession, use or sale
will be reported to proper law
enforcement officials for subse
quent follow-up action on their
part.
Dress Cod
In the preparation of a stu
dent dress code, Supt. Daniels
has asked the administrators to
determine the wishes of their
respective communities. He has
asked that they meet with their
student body officers, advisory
committee, teacher representa
tives and parent representatives
A report from each of the
meetings will be forwarded to
the district office. The reports
will be correlated and a uni
form code for the county bnsed
on broad principles will be
written and presented for adop
tion. Pendleton Round-Up
Last year the board had a
policy of excusing students for
the Pendleton Kound-Up on an
individual basis. This has some
times been on Wednesday which
is Family Day or on Friday to
include the parade. This year
there is the additional problem
of Thursday being Morrow
County Day. The board decided
not to excuse school on any one
of the three days and follow
last year's policy of excusing
pupils on request
Employees
The board approved the em
ployment of Percy Cecil to drive
the 8 Mile bus run and Jim Bar-
nett the Zinter-Kinzer run. On
the recommendation of the lo
cal advisory committee Dolores
Pummel was hired as head cook
at Riverside at a salary of $2420
and Josephine Rands as assist
ant at $2230. Alice Vance was
hired as secretary at the Dis
trict office on a half-time basl
at $190 per month
Certificated employees given
contracts were Miss Sarah An
drew to teach Language Arts
and French at lone. She is
graduate of Grinnell College at
Grinnell, Iowa. She is on Step
O of the salary schedule at $6900
plus 3 assisting in Girls
sports.
Delton LaRue was given
contract to teach math-science
at lone. He is a graduate of Pa
cific University and has 10 years
teaching experience at Lostine,
ossu ana Moiiaia. He is on
Step 8 of the salary schedule
at $9150. He will receive an ad
ditional 8 for coaching bas
ketball and 5 for baseball.
Financial Report
Mr. Daniels reported there is
a balance of $113,711 as of July
1, 1971. The financial condition
of the district depends some
what on whether the Boeing
Company is to be classified un
der the Farm Deferral Program
In the event that it is, a great
part of this balance will be re
quired to repay the Boeing
company.
The board gave authorization
to borrow, up to $200,000 this
year. Supt. Daniels reported
there was enough to pay the
August pay roll and the Sept
ember bills. They anticipate re
ceiving $60,000 in basic school
support in August. The district
only borrows enough to pay the
current bills and pay roll as its
needed.
Bus Runs
The board considered bus runs
and alternatives to the Robert
Hoskins ranch, the Lindsay Kin
caids, the Milton Millers who
have moved out to the Ebb
Hughes place and Gerald Reas
who have moved out on the
bombing range,
In the matter of the Gerald
Reas, the distance is about
equal to the present end of the
Riverside bus run to the Hepp
ner bus run. Its 15 miles into
Riverside and 30 into Heppner.
Mr. Daniels noted the problems
that may be encountered at this
sage and sand country is filled
in with homes. The distances to
be travelled would be examined
closely as a matter of econom
ics when a second bus may be
required.
The board voted to abide by
the policy of paying 10c a mile
in lieu of transportation to fam
ilies off the regular runs.
Dry Well at Riverside
Mr. Daniels reported that the
filling up of the dry wells at
Riverside is slowing down. A
record is to be kept of the rate
of '.' fine by periodic measure
ments. It may be that no cor
rective measures will need to be
undertaken at this time..
John Brandt, new board mem
ber from Irrigon, was given the
oath of office by Board Chair
man Jerry Peck.

from and Specialist Dick Schlich-
ting.
Mr. Greer, vice president of
Desert Magic Farms was intro
duced. I
Speakers I
Denver Grigsby, head of the
Boeing project, told of their ag
ricultural development covering
some 60,000 acres of their 100,
000 acre tract in North Morrow
County. His talk was interspers
ed with a quiet and pleasing i
humor. Mr. Grigsby told of the
under. They will leave this for
about a year or so.
One test plot of 20 acres is
mostly sand dune and they will
try out their belief that the
covering of waste material will
prove a beneficial stabilizer.
The area will be under circles
for presoaking. They believe the
high evaporation and lack of
natural moisture in the area
make it greatly suitable for this
purpose. There is very little run
off there. They believe leaving
the soil treated in this manner
for about a year will result in
the break down of the material
into natural elements. Mr. Grig
sby said they do have some
problems on convincing some
environmentalists of the feasi
bility of their plan.
He said the barge shipping
rate was about a fourth of the
railroad rate.
Desert Magic Farms
Howard Kartchner of Desert
Magic Farms told about form
ing their corporation with some
20 stockholders. The group will
spend some two to two and one
half million dollars in Morrow
County this year in developing
their new farms in the Pater
son Ferry area. Mr. Kartchner
formerly managed 10,000 acres
of row crop land near Ontario
for the Heinz Co. He said they
would have some 6000 acres
under irrigation in 50 days.
He stated they came here to
make a profit and are anxious
to do everything they can to
improve the area.
Some drawbacks here are a
lack of population and a lack
of available labor.
He stressed that attracting in
first 1800 acre development be- vestors here needs cooperation

hik uiiKaieu lor oasiure soon.."" icam m.un uooi cuu-
There will be considerable row
crop development in an orderly
fashion. He said Boeing is not
interested in a boom and bust
ed that today's farming is the
most competitive business in
the world. Large farming is
here to stay because of high
philosophy but wish to make a ! costs. Markets are changing and
steady progress in their im
mense development. This in
cludes all kinds of agricultural
things from pasture, row crops
and even growing cottonwood
trees for wood pulp.
Mr. Grigsby told of their pro
posod garbage disposal in one
area which he feels will enrich
the land. It is soon to be tried
in an experimental way. From
Portland will come barges load
ed with shredded trash: glass,
cans and probably around 70
percent paper products. This
will be placed on the land four
inches in depth, covered with
a quarter inch coating of lique
fied solid wastes then disced
if farmers don't change with
them, they will shortly be broke.
He expects this to happen to
almost 2 million farmers as he
figures 600,000 farmers can feed
America.
He said a pellet mill or cub
ing plant will go in the area
some place to handle the al
falfa. His firm expects to mar
ket one third fresh potatoes and
two thirds processed.
Rupe Kennedy
Rupe Kennedy, manager of
the Port of Morrow, said he felt
the Boeing Co, will function well
in their project and Morrow
County is extremely fortunate
in having them here. He said
their enthusiasm is invigorating,
He expects other processing
plants in the area in addition
to the newly announced Lamb
Weston plant coming to Her
miston.
He expressed a belief that
nuclear power plants and their
beneficial irrigating features
will be forthcoming in the area.
He is hopeful that the military
road crossing Washington diag
onally will have an acceptable
route soon. A bridge at Board
man would have many advant
ages.
Boardman, he said, is having
a team of planners prepare the
plans for a wonderful new city,
He told of Boardmans water
front park and the available
recreation.
Mr. Kennedy stressed the
coming importance of county
zoning, which he terms an ab
solute necessity because of the
nuclear power plant siting. This,
he said, will protect the values
of others.
There are to be 30,000 acres
in private development along
the waterfront with processing
plants and dairy locations. He
told of the Port of Morrow de
veloping an industrial tract.
Mr. Kennedy complimented
those who were on the nuclear
siting committee and the high
school students who conducted
the county-wide meetings.
He said 1973 could be the
date of new land receiving wa
ter. Morrow, Umatilla, Sherman,
Gilliam and Wasco Counties are
the only ones in Oregon to get
Columbia River water, he said.
He was commenting on the pos
sibility of California "raiding"
the Columbia for irrigation wa
ter. He would advise using our
fair share in a multiple use
method.
He concluded with the state
ment that the people of Mor
row are a pleasure to work for.
President Gene Pierce prom
ised this meeting would no
doubt be noted as an annual
event for the Chamber of Commerce.

the board would notice that
many of the recommendatons
made by the team were already
listed on the District's Long
Range program.
