One applicant wishes to do typing in her home. The letter to the editor, written hv Mrs. Merlyn Roh Inson, that apv.irid in last weeks edition of theC-T rais ed several questions (tut I feel deserve an answer. Perhaps clarification of the points raised In her letter will .serve to provide a braid er understanding regarding the duties and (mictions of the local advisory com ni'ttees, procedures used tn teacher evaluation, and the system used In considering teacher contract renewals. Fach attendance area In Morrow County has a local advisory committee whose memlvrs are elected al the annual school election on the first M mday in May. Ad visory committee meetings are held once each month on a regular meeting schedule. The Heppner-l.exington Ad visory Committee meets on the second Monday of each month, the lone Advisory Committee meets on the se Coniiuittee meets on the first Thursday, and the Hoardtiun Irrigon Advisory Committee meets on the second Tues day of each month. The County School Hoard Mem bers meet with their respec tive advisory committee. The duties of the advisory committees are no am biguous as was Indicated, but are in fact very clearly de fined by law. The Morrow County School Board has ex panded those duties by adopt ing a two page school board policy that leaves little doubt as to the duties and the im portance of the local school advisory committees. The duties of local advi sory committees, as provided by official School Board po licy are as follows: 1. Determine use of scho ol buildings for civic pur pses. 2. Inspect school buildings and make recommendations for repair and maintenance. 3. Make recommendations on rehiring of certificatedand classified employees. 4. Visit the schools at frequent intervals. 3. Consider local school grievances or problems and make recommendations to the County School Board when official board action is re quired. Advisory committee mem bers are notified in advance of each meeting and they re ceive a complete agenda for the meeting as well as a copy of the minutes of the previous meeting. We also send a complete packet of information regard ing the County School Board meetings to each member of the advisory committees. This packet is the same one sent to all Board mem bers and its intent is to keep advisory committee mem bers informed regarding ac tions of the board. The pack et contains the meeting agenda, a monthly financial report, minutes of the last County School Board meet ing, and a list of the bills for the current month. The school district also has an established procedure to be followed in the eva luation of teachers and in teacher contract renewals. Last year we made a com plete revision in our teach er evaluation forms and in the procedure for conducting the evaluation. Our new forms provide an evaluation by the local principal, and also a system for recording comments during the year. Every staff member is eva luated annually on a three page evaluation form. The written evaluation isthendis cussed with the teacher and he receives a copy of the evaluation. The principal places a second copy in the teachers folder and a third copy is sent to the district office for placement in the teachers personal file. These evaluations are then available to board and advisory comm ittee members during the time when teacher contracts NOW OPEN I IRRIGATION RENTAL INC.

Teacher contracts are dis cussed at the local advisory committees January met ting If tliere apfars to U a pro filer the administrator then discusses the prob litem with the teacher prior to the Feb. advisory com mittee meeting. The advisory committee at its regular Feb. meeting aga in discusses con tracts ami nukes Its official recommendation to the County School Hoard. The County School Hoard then takes official action on the recoinendations at Its regu lar leb. meeting. This early action is necessary as the law requires that teachers W notified no later than Mar. nth. Two specific points were raised tiy Mrs. Robinson, one relaled to the rij:ht of hoard menilHrs to vote hy secret ballot when voting on teachers contract renewals, ami the other re ferred to the question of whet her a teacher, whose contract may not le renewed, is en titled to a hearing. The law does not speci fically relate to the legal ity of a secret ballot, but it does specify that all ac tion and motions must take place in an open meeting. The law also states tli.it at the request of any haird mem ber the yea and nay votes must tie recorded. This would seem to indicate that all members would needtoagree to the secret ballot and even then itslegality could be ques tioned. At the March meet ing of the Heppner-I.exington Advisory Committee there was some discussion on whet her the vote should be open or by secret ballot. Sev eral memliers at tlut time ex pressed a preference for an open vote and that is what was done. Since all action is taken at an open meeting it is impossible to excluse the teacher from being pre sent. As to granting teactiers a hearing, it is not specifically required by law, but our scho ol board members have al ways granted hearings to those who have requested those employees who have requested one. Feelings ex pressed by School Board Members on this point is that they feel it is only fair to provide the teacher an op portunity to hear the rea sons for which the contract is not being renewed and to give them an opportunity to present their side of the is sue. I am inagreement with Mrs. Robinson that we should give preference to Oregon gra duates when we hire employ ees for the school district. I assure you that when other factors are equal Oregon gra duates will receive primary consideration when consideration for school dis trict vacancies. There are however times when it is not desirable to exclude other not desirable to exclude other applicants from consi deration. As a final item I would like to extend an in vitation to each and every one of you to attend at least a few of the school meet ings and become better ac quainted with the operation of the schools. All school meetings are open to the pub lic. Sincerely, Ron Daniels District Superintendent r- x . -.A I v.. iWi 1 L4 tmm4mm OC t or OSU Agent.
