School district zones mandated by state
The Morrow County School
Board, at its regular meeting
Monday night, Dec. 21, directed
superintendent Ralph Reed and
school district attorney Ann
Spicer to draw up a map creating
seven school district election
zones.
According to Spicer the move
is state mandated and zones must
be based on population. The
zones must be approximately
equal in population, she said.
Spicer said that any school board
election held without zoning
could be challenged in court. She
also told the board that if they
would not zone the district, the
court would do it for them.
Suggested zoning would in
clude seven zones of around
1,500 people each. Boardman
and Irrigon have a combined
population of over 4,400; the
Heppner and Hardman area a
population of over 2,100; and the
lone-Lexington area, over 1,000.
Board members must reside in
the zone from which they are
elected.
Board member Scott Bauska,
Boardman is up for election this
year. January 21, 1993 is the
deadline for filing for that spot,
which had been an at-large
position.
The board will review the pro
posed district map at an early
January meeting.
Faced with budget cuts
necessitated by Measure 5, the
board heard recommendations for
a “ worst case’’ scenario as sug
gested by the Oregon School
Boards Association.
In this scenario, the district
should prepare for three percent
less local property taxes and state
aid than in 1992 93. According
to figures presented by board
member John Rietmann, a three
percent drop in revenue is
$335,734.
Recommendations to cope with
that reduction include: maintain
ing a cash carry over amounting
to nearly $500,000; maintain
ing a contingency fund at
$200,000; Continuing board
direction of reductions in the cen
tral office; reductions in the
maintenance area; reductions in
support (classified) staff,
transportation costs, extracur
ricular and co-curricular ac
tivities, and academic programs
or academic opportunities.
This year's budget is more than
$13 million. Next year’s is an
ticipated to be $13 million or less.
In other business, the board
voted to increase the superinten
dent’s salary to between $65,000
and $70.000 plus benefits for the
93-94 year.
The district previously had
superintendents at a salary
schedule of $59,600 for the
1991-92 school year, $61,686 for
the ‘92-93 year and $63.845 for
‘93-94. According to figures
released by William Worrell,
Ph.D. director of school district
services of the Oregon School
Board Association (OSBA), the
Morrow County salary schedule
was ranked 13 out of 21 districts
of the same approximate size.
The highest superintendents
salary listed was $76,346 for the
‘93-94 year and the lowest was
$60,160 for the same year.
The district is in the process of
beginning a search for a new
superintendent following the
resignation of current superinten
dent Ralph Reed, effective June
30. 1993.
The board approved a search
time line, and goals, qualities and
qualifications they will seek in a
new administrator. Worrell and
the OSBA will assist the board in
the nation-wide search. The
search is expected to cost the
board around $4,500.
The board also heard a report
from auditor Brent Fife of Mor
rison, Fife and Jenson of
Pendleton. Jenson said that the
figures showed “ great restraint
on the part of the district,” and
commented “ 1 think the statement
reflects that the administration
was responsible during the last
year,” in the face of " a lot of
uncertainty out there.”
The board approved the audit.
In other business the board: ap
proved the first reading of board
policy concerning preventative
measures concerning hepatities B
and blood borne pathogens;
-approved closure of Main
Street between 10th and 12th
streets at A.C. Houghton School.
The closure will also be presented
to the Irrigon city council;
-approved a recommendation
to the Oregon Schools Athletic
Association that the Heppner and
lone high schools field a joint
baseball program.;
-approved a request for two
people to attend the Bilingual Ti
tle VII Grant Program national
convention. Attending will be
Riverside High School Principal
Dave Youngbluth, who is project
director, and the RHS trainer
coordinator;
-approved resignations of Bill
Ewing, Heppner Middle Sschool
assistant football coach and Tracy
Gordanier, Columbia Junior High
assistant custodian.
The school board approved
employment of Carol Daulton.
Riverside High School head cook
who replaces Judy Pettigrew who
recently resigned; Lori Pruitte,
ACH instructional assistant who
replaces Thelma Perches who
resigned. Pruitte will be assign
ed to the special education teacher
at ACH; Brian Cook, CJH assis
tant wrestling coach; Rick
Paullus, HMS assistant basketball
coach; Kelley Swarat; UH assis
tant track coach; Al Hensley, Ir-
rigon bus driver and Lisa
Beyeler. RHS assistant cook.
The board granted leave of
absence for Rosa Rodriguez, Ir
rigon bus driver who requested
two days of unpaid leave; Beth
Creason, who is requesting
maternity leave form March 29
to June 10, and Terri Gentry,
Heppner P.E. teacher who is re
