Hoard action followed discussion and S uperintendent D oyle McCaslin's advice that they accept the recommendations from the June 4 budget committee meeting " I must emphasize again that this business of going tor a special levy and a venal levy is a first for this d istrict.” McCaslin said Although it w ill be very difficult to pass both levies, the budget is squeezed about as tight as it can be ‘ ' We need to be committed. ‘ ' he told the Hoard "Once we go out for birth levies, we can't very handily back away from that We most continue to try to get the money as best we are able or say.'no. we're only going for a special levy.' and then cut more from the budget However. I don't believe there is any gtaaj way to cut more from the serial levy without seriously impacting programs and seriously impacting personnel Some areas of the budget, he said were hit cstra bard, and recommend ed that administrators be ready later on to recommend adding replace ment o f three heat pumps costing a total o f $22.000 at Heppner High School, repair of shower room floors at Heppner and lone back into the budget if it should be possible to find additional funds The Board also decided to use district personnel to put in a sloped hill which would support the crumbl ing retaining wall along the tennis courts at Heppner elementary school Total cost to the district for the fill would be about $5.075 and if the h ill were later determined un satisfactory, could be removed The Board acted after hearing estimates o f $18.832 and $22.112 obtained from two different construction com panies for replacement o f the retain ing wall McCaslin told the Board that some playground space w ill be lost with the h ill, but that it would not he I ♦ Shuron Dunlop from sisth grade at Sam Hourdnun to the Chapter I pro gram at Riverside High School.
