' ; « « Of the four questions asked of the candidates, these were Chris’ replies: I . School board should look at the four year contracts with the teachers and get more community involve merit in the board decision process 2 The biggest problem facing the district right now is the healing pro cess after the stirkc We need to get cooler heads and put this strike behind us and go from here 3. I would like to see a better system of technical training in the school, vo-ag. mechanical and a higher technology training such as computers, sc ience and math 4 I feel the overall education of Morrow County students is pretty decent, really, one of the better ones around K* > !

The board needs to become a more open body and have more direct involve ment with the community. 2. The biggest problem in the district right now is the inability of the district to pass a budget 1 think the solution lies in having the board become a greater advocate of the district. The district needs to be shown to be a resource in the coun ty. The board needs to raise the awareness of the citizens to what the benefits ot a good, well run district are A good sound school attracts quality businesses and citi/ens and we need to rebuild our reputation as a good distncl 3. One of my concerns about education in general and in a rural districl in particular, is that the teachers should always be qualified to teach their special subject Sometimes we accept less than ihat because we have so many subjects and not a lot of teachers who arc trained in those subjects 4 Overall, 1 think we have a fine school system in Morrow County We have many fine teachers who deserve our support and because of the rural nature of our district, our students receive the benefit of close contact with those teachers We need to build from that special situation and have the best district we can W arren Plocharsky. 48. of Hepp ncr is a forester w ith the U S Forest Service He has six children ranging in age from 17 to 25 years He has served on the Heppncr City Coun cil for 12 years and served as Coun cil chairman and councilman He is a graduate of the University of Con necticut with a Bachelor of Science Degree His answers to our questions were 1 I don't think that any major changes arc needed within the school district 2 The biggest problem facing the school district is financing and laves Many s«>tc-is were dissatisfied with the school budgets as witnessed by the many budget deteats 1 believe in getting at least a dollar in value for each dollar spent and will be looking at the budget very closely 3. I'm not aware of any particular areas of education that needs im provemem I think we need to mend some fences as a result of the recent teachers strike The board, teachers and parents need to work together if the students arc to receive a quality education at a reasonable cost 4 The quality of education in the county needs improving Morrow County students goon to college and are usually behind their classmates from other parts of Oregon and Washington It the quality ot educa tion is to improve, more effort will be needed from everyone the hoard, administrators, teachers, parents and students.
