The Morrow County School
District board of directors saw
its ranks depleted by two at its
meeting Monday night, when
John Matthews of Irrigon and
Harold Snider of lone both
resigned. Both named their
jobs as the reason.
Snider said in a letter to the
board that his occupation is
taking most of his time, and he
could no longer serve. He
asked the board to consider
Jerry McElligott as his re
placement. John Matthews said he was
being transferred by his
employer and also would no
longer be able to serve, but did
not recommend a replace
ment. The board moved to refer
the resignations to the lone
and Irrigon district advisory
boards for consideration of
replacements for the two men.
Any appointments made
would be only until the next
district-wide election, which is
March 31. Anyone appointed
would then have to run for
election if he or she wished to
retain the seat.
