Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 14, 1994 - FIVE
County school enrollment increases
Morrow County School
enrollment has already shown
an increase over figures releas
ed Aug. 29. School officials say
that some students do not
begin school until after Labor
Day, so early enrollment
figures are typically lower.
According to numbers releas
ed at the Morrow County
School Board meeting Sept. 12,
enrollment as of Sept. 6 was
2,026, only two below the
enrollment Sept. 20 of last year.
Enrollment figures as of Sept.
6 are as follows: Heppner High
School-143; Heppner Elemen
tary/Middle School-349; lone
Schools K-12-173; Riverside
High School-384; Columbia
Junior High-205; Sam Board-
man Elementary-406; A.C.
Houghton Elementary-366.
Last year's figures as of Sept.
20 were as follows: Heppner
High School-154; Heppner
Elementary/Middle School-343;
lone Schools-176; Riverside
High School-397; Columbia
Junior High-194; Sam Board-
man Elementary-381; A.C.
Houghton Elementary-383.
The board also discussed pro
posed zoning for school board
positions Superintendent
Chuck Starr reported that Ray
Phelps, an expert in zoning
issues, indicated that "rib
bon''zoning proposed earlier to
solve the district's zoning pro
blems will not work.
The district last year was told
by attorney Ann Spicer that it
could not legally have five
board members elected from
zones and two elected at large,
because of the type of district
it was. However, according to
Starr, Phelps says that that may
be an option.
Another option discussed
was to use the zones establish
ed by the proposed county
medical district. Those zones
are as follows: 1-the city of Ir-
rigon; 2-the city of Boardman;
3- voting precincts no. 1 and 2,
lying outside the city of Board-
man and precincts no. 5 and 6,
lying outside the city of Irrigon;
4- Ione and Lexington precincts
and the portions of the Hepp
ner voting precincts north and
west of the city of Heppner;
and 5-the city of Heppner with
the area of the county south
and east of the city.
"W e need to make some
kind of logical sense," said
board member John Rietmann.
"This way we don't have a
clue. We don't even know
what zone we're in ," he
added.
Starr planned additional con
sultation with Phelps and the
board indicated that it would
explore the zoning issue
further.
In other business the board:
-reviewed the 1994 Morrow
County Stanford Achievement
Tests and the Oregon State
wide Assessment. Results were
typically slightly below state
averages in the lower grades
and approaching or slightly ex
