School board adopts drug, alcohol policy The Morrow County School Board, at its regular June meeting, adopted revisions to the district’s drug and alcohol policy which will broaden the schools' authority and provide harsher penalties for student athletes "determined to be in violation" of the district's policy. Student athletes will no longer have to be "caught" using drugs or alcohol or admit to use. Now school administrators need only "determine" that a student is actively involved with the use of drugs or alcohol. For example, a student athlete who is at a party where illegal drugs or alcohol are being used, but who does not drink or take the drugs, may be just as culpable as a student who does, according to school officials. The punishment for a first offense remains much the same, with a two-week suspension from extracurricular activities. A second offense within three years brings a year-long suspension from the activity. The policy will be applied throughout the calendar year. Previously suspension could not extend from one school year to the next. The board also approved a teacher evaluation plan which will evaluate competence of all probationary and contract teachers starting this fall. The evaluation will consist of goals, classroom observations, probationary portfolios and final evaluation. If the administrator determines through evidence that a contract teachers is not performing at his level, the teacher may be placed on a plan of assistance. If the plan of assistance is unsuccessful, the administrator may recommend that the teacher be dismissed or his contract not extended.

On Saturday, May 30, the group decided on the name "Irrigon Horse Whisperers." They also chose officers for the year. For the next three months there will be two presidents. Following this election will again be held and one person will assume the job of vice president. The two presidents currently are Dawna Donohue and Lloyd Wilson. Secretary Kern Herbert was chosen secretary. Richard Herbert was chosen for treasurer. The group activities include attending shows, going on trail rides, showing at the fair and listening to such experts as veterinarians and farriers. The group is still open to anyone who would like to learn more about horses, and there is one slot left open for someone interested in riding. Anyone wanting to learn more about horses but not wanting to ride is also welcome.
