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.
In other business, the board;
-heard a report from Bob
Baker, project supervisor, that
the Heppner High School and
Heppner Elementary School

Irrigon Horse Whisperers
By Kerri Herbert
A new 4-H group has been
introduced and two meetings
have taken place. 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.
For more

three
coordinators,
