Bill Doherty honored for years on school board
Bill Doherty
"Speak softly and carry a big
stick" might be a good
description of long time Morrow
County School Board member
Bill Doherty, Lexington.
Doherty, who decided not to
run for re-election after 13 years
on the board, is a man o f few
words, but he had a reputation
for "cutting to the chase" at board
meetings.
Doherty
was
recognized for his years of
service at his last school board
meeting held June 9 at
Boardman.
"I had the pleasure of serving
with Bill for nine of his 13
years," said Morrow County
School Superintendent Chuck
Starr. "1 found him to be
extremely loyal—conservative
when it came to taxpayer dollars,
but very progressive when it
came to the education o f kids."
"The thing I like about him,"
said former school board
member Marcia Kemp, "was that
he had an insight about each
school in the district. The schools
are not the same. Each school is
different and he seemed to
understand those differences."
Doherty, who has five children
of his own, says that what he has
enjoyed most about his years on
the board is the kids. "I like
kids," he says, "and I think
there's some good in every kid.
We're fortunate to be in a district
where they love their kids."
Doherty credits good mentors
for helping guide him in his
early years on the board. "Pat
Wright (former board member)
was one of my mentors," says
Doherty. "In one step she could
separate the grain from the
chaff."
Doherty says that his foremost
goal was to "provide the best
education the taxpayers could
afford to pay. I just wanted to
keep the doors open," he said.
Despite the pressures, financial
and otherwise, Doherty says he
always enjoyed serving on the
board. "I loved it," says Doherty
of his stint on the board. "There
were more positives than there
were negatives." He adds that he
is proud of the Morrow County
School District and feels that it
does a good job of preparing its
students for the world. "Our
(Morrow County) kids can
succeed anywhere they go. They
could show up anywhere and be
accepted. It's a good feeling,
when nobody knows who you
are,
to
have
our
kids
complimented."
Doherty firmly believes that
the hard work, discipline and
team spirit that athletics bring to
the schools help shape young
people into good, productive
citizens.
"I've
encouraged
participation in teams," he says.
"They don't have to w in-it's just
being there, working together as
a member of a team." While
winning isn't the most important
thing in athletics, during
Doherty's tenure, district schools
earned
seven
state
championships and were only
one hit away from the eighth.
Doherty, 55, was first elected
to the board in 1984 in an at-
large position. After the M o t t o w
County teachers' strike, Doherty
and Kemp survived a recall effort
with, they were told by a former
superintendent,
the
largest
winning percentage of a recall
ever in the state of Oregon.
"Contrary to what some people
thought," said Doherty, "I had
good rapport with a great many
of the teachers."
"The staff had the board’s
support when they were correct
in their discipline," he added.
"I've seen some embarrassing
situations, when the parents
hadn't heard the whole story."
Doherty says that he has
always valued the input of the
other board members. "There
were never any dumb board
members," he says. "There were
some really intelligent people on
the board. And I never served
with a board member whose
priority wasn't for all the kids. I
never served with a board
member I didn't like to work
with. It was always fortunate to
have
seven
different
perspectives, but I never saw an
issue that, in the end, we didn't
approach as a unified board. I
always thought it was the board
and whatever the board's
decision was, I stuck with it."
He says that over the years the
board has tried hard to be
diligent in hiring administrators.
"We made a mistake or two, but
we corrected them. I liked an
administrator with an Eastern
Oregon mentality. What fits in
the valley, doesn't necessarily fit
here."
Doherty says that recent ballot
measures are not helping
education and figure in his
decision to not seek re-election.
"Measure 5 really hurt school
boards," says Doherty. "When
we lost control of the purse
strings, it made it harder to set
policy that fit Morrow County,
Measure 5 and Measure 50 are
going to make it tougher on
future
boards,
staff and
administration. It's up to the
legislature now. I didn't have the
answers. It was time for me to
exit."
Doherty was bom in Pendleton
in 1942 to Bill and Mary
Doherty, descendants of Irish
immigrants. The Doherty family
first raised sheep and then wheat
on the original family place at

Sandhollow.
Doherty graduated from Echo
High School and attended the
University of Portland. He joined
the Army and was trained as a
combat medic. After serving in
Germany, he came back to work
on the family farm. He and his
wife, Joan, have four sons and a
daughter, ages 28, 26, 24, 18 and
