ton The purpose in appointing
this committee was to have a
group of interested ridens.
representing all attendance
areas in Morrow County,
study the problems, both in
curriculum and future build
ing. needs, and to prepare
recommendations to the sch
ool board for their considera
tion and action. 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.

Remodeling
at lone
The remodeling at the lone
Elementary, the Heppner Jr,
High and the old building Ml
A C. 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. Projections
for thr next years are shown in
table III 2
The four additional class
rooms at Riverside and A C.
Houghton are intended lo
provide for the initial ex nan
sion of phase I The need for
new school buildings as prov
ided in our long range needs
would he dependent on contin
ued expansion us outlined in
phase II. III. and IV.
The other attendance ureas
in Morrow County could also
experience some enrollment
growth as a result of the
increased irrigation
The next step in the imple
mentation of the long range
planning rcwirt is lo discuss
the report with the various
school committees and civic
organiations within Morrow

The other problem is in
spectator seating in the gym
nasium. 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. The
