City to enforce pet cleanup at park In a recent m eet ing between Heppner City M anager Dave DeM ayo, Corps o f Engineers Park R anger Dan D u nnett, a problem involving dogs in the Little League Park at the base o f Willow Creek Dam was discussed. Currently people are using the park as a dog park, letting them run free and not cleaning up after their pets' messes. As of result o f the discussion it was d e te r mined that since the City o f Heppner has a lease w ith the Corps of Engineers for this property, the city has authority over the land for code enforcem ent issues. Therefore, in the near fu ture, signs will be put up informing dog owners that they are supposed to clean up after their dogs in the park. A “doggie bag" sta tion will be placed in the park for use by the dog owners. Failure to do so may result in a citation. ALL NEWS AND ADVERTISEMENT DEADLINE: MONDAYS AT 5:00 P.M.

The student becomes a resident pupil o f the attending dis trict thereby allowing the attending district to receive State School Fund monies; -by unilaterally admitting with tuition a non-resident student w hereby neither district is eligible for State School Fund monies. *the board shall deny regu lar school adm ission to non-resident students who are under expulsion from another school district for a weapons policy violation. The board will deny regular school and alternative edu cation program admission to non-resident students who are under expulsion from another district for reasons other than a weap ons policy violation. *any request for an atten dance variance for admit tance o f a non-resident stu dent must be made in writ ing at least one week before a regularly scheduled board m eeting. The application shall state the reasons for requesting admittance. The resident district must agree to release the student. *if a stu d en t’s residence will be within the boundar ies o f the school district, but in a residence not occu pied by the parents or legal guardian, then the board may approve or disapprove the request and establish the am ount o f tuition, if any, unless as otherw ise provided by law. *in no event will Morrow C ounty S chool D istric t provide special transporta tion for any out-of-district resident, and a continuation in Morrow County schools. 2.19/Qt N apa M C in all cases, will depend on acceptable conduct and academic achievement. * th e M o rro w C o u n ty School D istrict does not favor requests for atten dance variances from resi dent students to attend a non-resident district.
