This commit tee met with each local advisory committee at least once during the IWiH calendar year Kach advisory commit tee was asked to evaluate their curriculum and their present school facilities and to make recommendations re garding possible changes or additions After numerous meetings were held through out Morrow County and alter . carefully reviewing present programsandfacilities.it was the consensus of opinion by the Planning Committee mem bers that additional informat ion would be nteded prior to extending any recommenda tions to the Morrow County School Board for their consid eration and subsequent action. In this connection, the Planning Committee reques ted that the Morrow County School district Board ofdirec tors consider retaining an architect to assist the Plann ing Committee in compiling remodeling cost estimates and determining life expectancy on the present school facilit ies It was also felt that the architect should design any additional, or replacement facilities, that would be need ed and estimate the cost of construction. Board Agreed The Board of Directors agreed that this would be desirable w ith the thought that an efficient study projected many years into the future would prevent- the district from pursuing additional con struction and curriculum work on a piece-meal basis. The Board of Directors then discussed possible contractual agreements w ith two separate architects. In May of 19. the board agreed to sign a three year contract with the firm of Smith and Keys, architects located in Ontario, Oregon. This agreement retained the firm of Smith and Keys for any buildings that may be con structed by the Morrow Coun ty School District during the next three years. If, at the end ot the three year period, the board had not been successful in obtaining building funds, or had decided not to construct any new school facilities, the agreement with Smith and Keys would be terminated and the board would pay a figure not to exceed $300 for the architectural and design work completed in connection with the long-range study. From May of 1969 to November 1970, the planning committee continued to meet and discuss various building and remodeling programs with the architect. In Novem ber of 1970 Superintendent rorn Daniels compiled all of the committee findings includ ing curriculum reports, remo deling costs, architectural blueprints and replacement cost into a 44 page document Thi report contained all ol the various alternatives on an area by area Imims The planning committee then continued to hold meet ings to determine the immed iate building needs as well as long range building needs. In September of 1971 the long range planning commit tee membership was changed and sev eral new mem tiers were added to the committee. Those added were Ken Tur ner, Dick Sargent, Mrs. Elaine Nelson, Mrs, Virginia (inch. Keith Hea, and Gale Shoemaker Meets Jointly In Jumuary of 1972 the planning committee met joint ly with the Morrow County School Board to determine the steps necessary to implement the final recommendations of the committee . After review ing all of the material prepar ed to the present time, the committee felt that the needs should te divided into two separate classifications. The first would be the imediate needs that were necessary now and should not be delayed The second would be needs of a more long range nature that could be affected by program or population changes within the county. Immediate needs listed were ill a vocational shop facility at Heppner ( 2 limited remodeling at lone Elemen tary told building, and Hep pner Jr. High and Gym and Auditorium 1 3 4 additional classrooms at A C. Houghton, and 4 1 4 new teacher stations at Kiverside. Longer Range needs were listed as 1 1 1 additional schools in north Morrow County if population grow th is as anitci pated in the Boeing report 2 new Jr. High school at Heppner, 3 new elementary school and vocational shop at lone. Top Priority The Vocational shop at Heppner was determined to be of immediate concern as the present facilities are inadequ ate both in size and structure. The woodworking shop classes are presently housed in small cement room underneath the gym. The size of the room and the inadequate ventilation restrict the number of studen ts that can work in the room at one time and it also limits the size and type of projects built by the students, there are presently 32 students enrolled in the four shop classes and it is believed that a " more adequate facility would double the number of students en rolled. The Vocational Agriculture students are housed in the old combination shop building and furnace room located adjac ent to the Heppner Jr. High building. Aside from the total inadequacy of the facility, it does present several other problems. First, the building does not have a classroom so it is necessary to handle class room work in a separate building. This type situation then requires that all students be in the classroom at the same time and in the shop area at the same time. Thus, there is no flexibility in having students working at different activities. The second problem is that of transporting students from high school building to the present shop facility. This results in additional expense but the major problem is the loss ol classroom time while the students are on the bus. The committee is exploring several possibilities for cons truction of the shop facility. Among the alternatives being reviewed are construction of a relatively inexpensive metal building and the possibility of a work experience program with shop students doing most of the actual construction.

Houghton would, in most cases, not involve major remodeling, but would deal primarily with recommenda tions made by the Stale Industrial Accident Commis sion, the State Sanitation Department, and the Stale Fire Marshal's of I ice. This limited remodeling in now being accomplished through the general fund budget lo the extent ol l J,ww to I.M.ooil per year. The additional classrooms at Boardnian and Irngon are necessary due to the increased activity in sprinkler irrigation and the development ol new farming projects F.mrollmenl at A C. Hough ton is up :in students oxer last year's enrollment with an increase lioni 144 to 174 Several classes now have between iri and :Ui students and the addition of just a few students in some of the classes will require two sections instead of one. All available classrooms are now in use so any additional spilling of classes will require new classrooms. The addition of four more classrooms will provide classrooms for two sections of each grade At Riverside the enrollment has increased from lt;i in SeptemlMT to 182 in January. The facility would adequately handle an increase of approx imately loll students in most areas. There are. however, two immediate problems with even a slight enrollment increase. The first is in the number of general class rooms. In order to divide sections in required courses, it will be necessary to have additional teacher stations Ibtcitig projection lor the Ihiai dinan area indicates Dial I ooo acres will be under irrigation during 1973 with a resulting increase in popula tion of . cople.

The present gym will only seat approximately 400 spectators and even w ith the current population there have been instances when standing room only was available. With the growth in student enroll ment accompanied by an increase in adult population it will be a relatively short time before the seating w ill be insu fficient to meet local needs. The Boeing company is acting in the capacity of master developer for' the continued development of the new city of Boardnian. A preliminary plan has been developed and is currently being reviewed prior to being submitted to the Agency of Housing and Urban Develop ment as an application for funds to begin the initial phase for expansion of the city for Boardnian. Approval of the application would result in expansion of the city beginning in July of 1973. Phase 1 of the expansion covers the years 1973-75 and would add 310 acres with 800 housing units. Expanded Population The study also relates to population expansion that is anticipated as a result of current and planned irrigation projects. The population fig ures are projected on the basis of irrigation projects only and does not reflect any new industry that might locate in north Morrow County. Popula tion studies in other newly developed irrigation projects show a growth of approximat ely 50 people for every 1,000 acres of irrigated land.
