two children, ages 12 and nine
Pearson served on the
Heppner -Lexington Advisory
Committee of the Morrow

three years and was a mem
ber of the Heppner City Coun
cil for two and one-half years.

Airport Advisory Committee
and on the budget committee
for the City of Heppner.
Pearson stated that he feels
the overall education Morrow
County students receive is
good, but feels there are some
areas that need work, from
the administrative level on
through the students. Pearson
also says he thinks more
instruction needs to be given
in the areas of reading, wri

Pearson submitted the fol
lowing statement:
"The main purpose for my
seeking a position on the Mor
row County School Board is to
become further involved in the
community. Too often people
criticize our educational sys
tem without constructive in
volvement. This position
would allow me to become
actively involved in the deci
sion making and changes in
our educational system that
will affect this community's
future.
"I believe that there are
four main areas of concern
that need to be addressed.
These areas are vital to all
students, both those bound for
the workforce and those
choosing to further their edu
cation. They are: 1. attitudes,
2. discipline, 3. curriculum,
and 4. alcohol -drugs. These
items will virtually shape the
lives and opportunities of each
student. I want to fulfill my
responsibilities as a citizen
and as a parent by taking
action on these and other
areas of concern."
