School Superintendent “I have lots o f experience in districts and communities of this size and 1 enjoy the desert,” says Crippen, explaining what drew him here. He discussed with the Gazette several challenges that he thinks he will face as superintendent here—the most difficult being financing. “The biggest challenge in education as a whole in Oregon is financing,” he said, “The downdraft in the economy has certainly pointed out the need we have for a more stable funding source. A lot of the challenges are money related.' In this particular community, population is down in the south end and up in the north end.” Crippen also mentioned the struggle of trying to provide the education necessary for a 21st century graduate and trying to keep up with the rapid changes. “Even that, unfortunately, comes back to money and creating a situation in the district where income is not exceeded by expenses.” continued from page one Crippen says that there are already the personalities in place to help his job run smoothly. “We have a good staff. The educators are highly intelligent and creative people. So far, I ’ve found a concerned populace that is interested in education. You have people talking to you (about ways to better education here). If a solution is to be had, we will certainly find it." Concerning the resignation of the newly hired principal for Heppner schools, Crippen said that the board accepted his resignation at the school board meeting on July 8. Lester McCormick moved to Alaska to take job at a larger school. “It obviously was a bit of a shock,” he said.
