-Continuedfrom PAGE on the number of students
ONE who qualify for “free and
like to see MCSD estab
lish an education founda
tion. Finance director Andy
Fletcher said he would
research the feasibility of
establishing such an orga
nization and report back to
the board. The lone School
District has such an orga
nization, the lone Educa
tion Foundation, which
spearheads fundraising and
charitable donations to the
lone schools, often funding
particular items or educa
tional programs.
-learned from Dirk-
sen that the district has re
ceived a $140,000 “Gear
Up” grant each year for
seven years, beginning this
year. The grant, designed to
assist students in “gearing
up for college, was based
reduced” lunches, so would
apply only to north end
schools, not Heppner High
School, which does not
have enough students who
qualify for the reduced
rates.
-le a rn e d from
Apple of the first school
district training day on the
Eastern Promise program
November 4 a* Eastern
Oregon University. The
Eastern Promise program,
created by Mark Mulvihill,
InterMountain ESD super
intendent, was designed to
better coordinate education
from kindergarten through
the college level and would
allow high school students
to earn college credits while
still in high school. Eastern
Oregon school districts,
including MCSD and 1SD,
Blue Mountain Community
College, Treasure Valley
Community College and
Eastern Oregon University
are participants. Dirksen
indicated MCSD’s support
of the pilot program.
-heard from parent
Leonardo Martinez, who
indicated his appreciation
to the board for the district
going forward in teaching
English to Spanish-speak
ing students.
-learned from Dirk-
sen that a Title 9 complaint
against Oregon schools,
including MCSD, has been
dropped. Title 9 is the fed
