Sample is no strang
er to the Morrow- County
Sheriff’s Office where he
served for 17 years until
his honorable retirem ent
in 2004. In 1987, Sample
began his career in Morrow
County as a patrol deputy.
Upon completion of his first
year, he was assigned to the
regional drug task force.
There he worked narcotics
for 10 years and received
a promotion to D etective
Sergeant within the agency.
During this period. Sample
also supervised the west end
drug task force, w orking
with multiple law enforce
ment jurisdictions to combat
drug traffic in Northeastern
O regon. In 1999 he was
prom oted respectfully to
Undersheriff and remained
serving the communities o f
Morrow County until his
retirement.
Sam ple's career in
law enforcement began in
1970 when he volunteered
for the Cornelius Police De
partment as a reserv e officer
at the urging o f a friend.
Cornelius is located about
20 miles west o f Portland
with a population o f about
10,000. He continued to
serve as a reserve officer
w ith C ornelius for more
than three years.
In 1974 Sample be

According to the policy, cell
phones and pagers must be
turned o ff during instruc
tional or class time, dur
ing passing times between
classes and at any other
time when use of the dev ice
would cause disruption o f
school activities. Camera
phones must not be used to
take photos or videos while
on district property or w hen
the student is engaged in
school sponsored activities
unless authorized in adv ance
by the building principal or
other designated authority.
W hen asked why
the district did not just ban
cell phones completely from
district schools, board Chair
Craig Miles replied that par
ents buy the phones for th* r
children so they are able
communicate w ith them.
According to policy
exceptions may he made for
health, safety or emergency
reasons with prior approval
or when use is allowed un
der the student’s "indiv idual
education program."
The policy goes on
to say that students are sub
ject to disciplinary action
including expulsion, for
using the com m uniealn ;;
dev ice “in any manner that
is academically dishonest,
illegal or violates the terms
o f this policy" and a referral
