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.
The board has offered a
contract to Wade Smith of Long
Creek, who will be hired on
Wednesday, July 17. His first day
of employment will be August 1.
