said she was also watching
a few kids who had 100
percent attendance so far
this year. “That’s exciting.”
She also reported that
the students had conducted
the yearly fundraiser for the
American Heart Associa-
tion. Their goal was to raise
$1,000, but they had raised
around $2,800.
She said they had nar-
rowed the options for math
adoption down to two, and
the staff thought they knew
which one they wanted, so
she had gotten a quote for
that program. She said the
company they really like is
Oregon Math’s Big Ideas.
It’s a K-12 curriculum.
“It would be one, very
cohesive, going from sixth
grade to middle school to
high school,” she said.
She said she hoped to
have a decision so they
could lay it out for board
approval at the next meet-
ing, as well as parent ap-
proval.
Dinning reported that
there are 10 girls and six
boys out for tennis. There
are 10 or 11 middle school-
ers out for track, all boys,
and eight or nine high
schoolers, also all boys.
The school has two high-
schoolers playing softball
with Heppner and one play-
ing baseball. There are no

Dinning also men-
tioned that they need to plan
a celebration or recognition
for Maureen McElligott.
This is her 50 th year coach-
ing tennis.
“She’s sharp still, and
we’re fortunate to have
her,” said Dinning, adding
that there are 16 students in
tennis this year.
Finally, the board ap-
proved the 2023-24 school
district calendar. Johnson
told the board the calendar
for the upcoming year is
pretty much the same ex-
cept for some adjustment of
the Christmas break. Unlike
Morrow County School
District, Ione staff chose to
retain Friday school days
after Monday holidays.
“The only feedback we
got was that they would
rather have a couple days
off before Christmas,” she
said.
Christmas break will
start Dec. 20 and school
will resume Jan. 3.
The next meeting of
the Ione School Board will
be April 25. The board will
hold a work session starting
at 4 p.m. followed by the
regular board meeting at
