Advantages and disadvan
tages of school district reor
ganization will be considered
when public hearings are held
for Rogue River-Evans Valley
districts Feb. 2 and Ashland
Pinehurst Feb. 3.
The hearing on Rogue River
and Evans Valley proposed
school district reorganization
will be held Tuesday, Feb. 2,
at 8 p.m. in the Evans Valley
elementary school gymna
sium. The hearing for Ashland
and Pinehurst school districts
will be held Wednesday, Feb.
3, at 8 p.m. in the Ashland
city school administration
building.
Following the public hear
ings, a proposed reorganiza
tion plan for the districts will
be presented the state board
of education, according to
county school officials.
If approved, the plan will
be returned to the county
reorganization committee and
a public election called in
each of the districts involved.
A majority vote in each of
the districts is required to
pass the reorganization pro
posal. Special Election
However, if 60 per cent of
the vote cast in a district is
against the measure, a special
election may be called to vote
on the question of the district
remaining an independent dis
trict or becoming a part of
the proposed administrative
district, according to state
law.
If 60 per cent or more of
the people in a district are
against the formation, organic
zation will be delayed for 30
days. During the 30 days, a
petition against its formation
may be filed, according to
state law. If such a petition
is filed, another election shall
be held in the rejecting dis
trict within 60 days. If half
or more then approve the
formation, the new district
shall be organized. If a ma
jority still is opposed, the new
district will not be organized,
the law provides.
Advantages of reorganiza
tion for Rogue River district
given by county school offic
ials are: (1) It would provide
a high school large enough for
a "reasonably broad curricu
lum," (2) Lower per pupil
cost at the high school level,
county officials noted. Per
pupil cost in Rogue River high
school is $633.48 compared to
an estimated $600 in the new
large district.
(3) Reorganization will of
fer chances of lowering cost
of transportation, supplies,
custodial service and mainten
ance. (4) It will join together
two closely related communi
ties with common interests
and cultural benefits to both.
(5) Assessed value per census
child would be increased by
$261.89, or it would raise it
from $4,097.41 to $4,349.30 in
the new large district.
Rogue River Enrollment
High school enrollment in
Rogue River, according to
records, is now 175, in Evans
Valley 35 students go to !
Rogue River high school and
23 to Grants Pass. Since those
going to Grants Pass would
be allowed to continue there
total enrollment under reor
ganization would be 210. Total
enrollment in Rogue River is
now 475 and 160 in Evans
Valley. Combined total en
rollment in the new district
would be 612, county school

Assessed valuation for
Rogue River, according to
1958- 59 figures is S2.138,
848.88. Evans Valley has an
assessed valuation of $1,008,
872.74. The new large district
would have an estimated as
sessed valuation of $3,147,
721.62, county school officials
said.
Rogue River school district
has an indebtedness of $65,
071.85 and Evans Valley S25.
613.70. The new combined
district would be indebted by
$90,686.55, according to esti
mates based on June, 1958,
figures. The amount to be
raised by taxation on local
levy for Rogue River for
1959- 60 would be $143,842.60,
$34,202.82 for Evans Valley
and $178,045.42 for the com
bined district, school officials
said.
Advantages of reorganiza
tion listed by county school
officials for Pinehurst are:
(1) Will comply with the law
that all districts must be large
enough to have their own
high school. Pinehurst stu
dents will become part of an
already operating fully stand
ard high school offering a
broad curriculum with segre
gated classes.
(2) Lower cost of transpor
tation. Annual transportation
costs to Pinehurst in 1957-58
for 1 pupils from Pinehurst

1958-59 figures. (2) Giving up

under the reorganized district.
(2) Decrease in per pupil costs
- $381 to $377.82. (3) A fuller

program through all 12
grades, officials said.

porting pupils from Pinehurst
district - 22 miles over snow
and ice-covered roads in win
ter. (2) Possibly of overcrowd
ing in high school until new
building is constructed, it was
explained.

2,410, 1,700 in grade schools
and 699 in high school. Total

told a committee on the role
of the county school office in

Dr. C. O. Fitzwater, of the
U. S. office of education, stat
ed that studies made through
out the United States indicate
intermediate school units are
not necessarily restricted to
county boundaries and may
involve several counties. Such
intermediate units are based
usually on geography,, popu

administrative units.
Intermediate units must
consider providing or assist

Fitzwater said. Such services
include educational help and
instruction in speech, for the
mentally retarded and the
deaf.
Educational improvement
