allow members of the Morrow
County Education Assn. to
review the proposed contract
and vote on whether it should
be accepted. A vote is not
expected, for at least two
weeks, since the teachers are
in the midst of spring vaca
tion. Among the major features
of the proposed three-year
contract is an across-the-board,
seven per cent pay hike
during the first year, followed
by cost-of-living increments
during the next two years.
Under the terms of the
tentative agreement, the base
pay for a Morrow County
teacher next year would rise
from the current level of
$10.:w:i to $11,121.
The agreement would also
add a "longevity" increment
for teachers with 15 or more
years in the system, bringing
the top salary level in the ,
county to $20.7:!!). Extra duty
work, such as supervision or
ticket selling at sporting
events, dances or conceits
actually increased by $11,914
and the police chief received a
seven percent salary increase
which amounts to slightly over
$1,000.

March 22 story was taken
from an inaccurate budget
document available for public
inspection given the Gazette

would earn teachers $4.50 per
hour.ising to $4.80 in the
thirdywr of the pact.
In other school board deve
lopments Monday, the board
discussed a proposed medi
cation policy, which would
require school officials to
dispense students' prescrip
tion medicine. Such medica
.tions would be dispensed in
school only on written orders
from a physician. As the
policy is currently worded, no
non-prescription drugs, such
as aspirin or other over-the-counter
remedies, would be
administered by school of
ficials without the written
permission of parents. The
board tabled action on the
proposed policy.
The board authored a
student exchange between-stu-dents
at Heppner High School
and Churchill High in the
Portland area. Jo last several
days later this spring.
In a money matter, the
board voted to enter an
agreement with the Board
man branch of the U.S.
National Bank to provide
computerized payroll service
for the school district for
about $1.8011 per year. The
move would take the school
district's payroll funds out of
the First National Bank in
Heppner. which had dropped
the computerized check ser
vice. The board accepted the
resignation of Sue Jones,
librarian at Heppner Elemen
tary, who is currently on a
leave of absence from the
school district.
