visor at the Boardman Coal fire Plant

two children, two and four years of
age He is a six-year member of the
Boardman Planning Commission,
past president of Morrow County
United Way for seven years, and a
volunteer on the Literacy Counc il for
two years He is a graduate of the
University of Oregon with a
Bachelor of Science IX*grce in
Political Sc ience from the Umvcrsi
ty of Oregon
His answers to our questions
follow:
I There definitely needs to he
some changes within the school
district Relations between the
hoard, the administration and the
teachers need to be improved. 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.

a truck foreman with three school
aged children ranging in age from
13-17 He is a graduate of Blue
Mountain Community College with
a degree in Technical Agriculture
He lists his qualifications for being
a hoard member as a “tax payer and
parent of three children in school ”
His replies to our questions arc as
follows:
I . There arc always changes
which can he made in any system to
improve it Whatever changes arc
made however, should always he
made with the betterment of the
students education in mind
2 I feel the biggest problem fac
ing the school district is spending
l.c!'s face it. everyone wants to sec
their tax dollars spent wisely The
only way this can he accomplished
is with cooperation between the
hoard and the school management as
well as listening to public input
3. I am quite sure that im-
prr.cmenls in regard to basic skills
such as reading, writing and
mathematics can always he made,
then other skills will fall in place
4 The overall education in our
school vystem I feel is good But I
feel we should always l<x>k for ways
to improve our kid's opportunity to
broaden their education
