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

Teacher contracts are dis

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

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
