A third plan is to increase the current proposed budget by 18.3 percent to have $4.331 .816 as the tax base. With this plan, the voters might not have to vote on the budget for two years. The other plan is the one proposed at last month's meeting that would allow an 18.3 percent increase each year for the next three years for a tax base of $6,073,542. The voters would not have to vote on the school budget for at least three years and possibly four or five. Current law requires that the school districts submit a tax base proposal every even numbered year if it is outside the six percent limitation the previous year. The new tax base must be decided on and given to the county clerk by April 10 for it to be on the May 20 ballot. The school board approved a weekend field trip for the Heppner band to Seaside to play some concerts. Director Bruce Martin and the band have had many fund-raising events during the year to help pay for the trip. The cost to the district would be $250.

Heppner Grade School and Junior High Principal Don Cole told the board that the heating system was not oper ating because of steam leaks in the line. Cole said the pipe is five or six feet under the road and was melting asphalt. The pipes are 20 or more years old and are deteriorating, he said. "This is going to run into big bucks," Doherty said. "We are going to patch it up for emergency repair because it cannot heat the buildings." The school board decided to wait a month before making a decision on a new bus that is being purchased. International Harvest is on strike and the chassis for $10,800 will probably not be in the county in time for the start of school next fall. The earliest it can be here is November, Doherty said. But the district cannot cancel its order for the $6,400 boa to the bus, he said. "This is a bad way to buy buses." Doherty said. "We should start buying entire buses instead of buying them in two parts. & Mounted .-'A- .; W. -.". V.'. SS". V..
