HHS site council holds meeting The Heppner High School 21st Century Site Council held its monthly meeting on Oct. 27 at the HHS library. In new business council chair, Bob Sagely, directed that the council send a letter of thanks to Pioneer Memorial Hospital ad ministrator Kevin Erich,, for allowing the site council to use the hospital satellite tefe^iMon facilities for its ED-NET inser vices in October, November and December. Also discussed was the HHS staff goal of “ peer coaching’’ program. Peer coaching is a pro gram several Heppner High teachers were trained in two years ago. Teachers help each other through positive mutual class observations and conferences. The staff had expressed an in terest in reinstating the program at the high school. The council decided that, though desirable, peer coaching should not be a top priority at this time because the council has a lot to accomplish in the coming months. More discus sion of the topic will occur at a later date. The major item of discussion was the initiation grant applica tion the site council is submitting. After reading through the pro posal, the council made some semantic adjustments and discuss ed the timeline for the grant plan. A top priority for the grant will be for planning the restructuring of the schools as required by Oregon HB3565, the 21st Cen tury Oregon School Reform Act. The council voiced a strong consensus that the public be made aware, and be given ample op portunity for input when it comes time for the state-mandated restructuring of the schools. HHS must be issuing “ Certificates of Initial Mastery” by the 1995-96 school year, as required by the law. The next site council meeting will be during an ED-NET inser vice teleconference Nov. 16 at 3:30 p.m. at Pioneer Memorial Hospital.

MCGG profits hold steady Profits at the Morrow County Grain Growers held steady last year, better than management had anticipated.

Sales for the year ending May 31 were up over $34 million, almost $1 million more than last year.
