School Board considers retaining wall options
ing scheduling problems with music
programs at Sam Boardman and
Riverside
"In order to have the best educa
lion and budget solution in the
schools, we determined there should
be one instrumental teacher and one
vocal teacher in each community
(Boardm an
and
Irrig o n )"
Superintendent Doyle McCaslin
said
"School hoard members Monslay
night wrestled with the problem of
a crumbling retaining wall by the
tennis courts near Heppner Elemen
tary school
It had earlier been estimated it
would cost $19,000 to put in a new
retaining wall and sislewalk. and
Monslay tfie board heard an alternate
plan that would cost less money
Instead of a new retaining wall,
the district could put in a sloped hill,
and that project would cost only bet
ween $4.(XX) and $5.(XX)
Elementary school principal Don
Cole objected to the slope, because
it would wipe out much needed
playground area
School superintendent Doyle
McCaslin recommended that the
sidewalk be tom out and replaced

The Morrow County School
Board Monday refused to intervene
into the transfer of a hand teacher at
Im gon's Columbia Junior High
School, which has some parents
concerned
School administrators have mov
ed hand teacher Kevin Egan out of
the junior high, and Monday parents
asked the school hoard to step tn and
stop the move
Apparently parents want the
popular teacher to ramain at the Jr
High, hut adm inistrators say
scheduling problems have made the
change necessary
Presently Egan teaches fifth
through 12 grade hand at Sam
Bojrdman Elementary. Columbia Jr
High and Riverside High Sch»*>l He
travels 2b miles per day to teach at
the threee schools, and ad
ministrators say the arrangement is
causing scheduling problems with
he four music, (two coral and two
sand teachers.) who serve the
schools.
Sam Boardman and Riverside
High School are in Boardman. and
Columbia Jr High is in Irngon
Egan will now teach Kindergarten
through grade 12 in Boardman
schools
Monday night hoard member elect
Mary lam Carlson read a letter sign
ed by six parents asking that the
change not he made, and also read
a letter from Boardman City Ad
ministrator Larry Dalrymple, and
said she received 1$ phone calls, all
protesting the move
"The change wasn’t doing justice
to Mr Egan, and was not best for
the music program," the letters said
in part
Parents say it is best for band
students in seventh and eighth grades
to be instructed by the same teacher
as will instruct them in high school
The administration says Egan's
26-mile round trip between three
schools every day was costing the
district SI .fiOO per year, and caus-
