With the success of our school system of such vital importance to all of us, including those of us who have seen our own children successfully through the first twelve years of their schooling, we urge you to vote Friday. We are going to the polls, as we always have, to support the budget. Fortunately, in this country, ours is a freedom of choice by means of a secret ballot. Not all of you will favor the budget, and perhaps with good reason. It has always seemed rather presumptuous though, to elect a school board, ask them to spend the countless hours that they and other budget committee members do in preparing a budget, and then say no, we don’t approve of your actions. I believe in representative government, which is the way we operate. I believe that when I help elect a man to represent me on the school board, and ask him to spend as much time as he must in evaluating the programs and doing all the thankless work that this kind of public service entails; the least that I can do is support his judgment. He has all the facts and figures, I have none. Who are our school board members? Harold Kurtz, Vic Haburchak, Gene Stunz, Don Engstrom, Mark Hartley, Ray Larson and Van Ure. As representative a group of business, professional and farm oriented men as you could find in any community; but primarily motivated to help provide us with good schools. Who are the budget committee members? Woody Seuell, Larry Saito, Dee Garner, Rudy Longoria, Bud Sappe, Keith Langley and Joel Mitchell. Again, responsible citizens and property owners who have labored hard to give us a budget that can provide an educational program within our means. I am not about to say that my judgment is better than theirs. This group of 14 men has had the responsibility of building a budget that provides the necessities of an educational pro gram, the needs of a building maintenace program, the re quirements of state accreditation, and all within the financial limitations of a rural, farming community. That they and their predecessors have done this job well goes without saying. The state average for the 1970-71 school year was $853 cost per pupil per year. The county average for the same year was $714, and Nyssa was $654, the lowest in the State of Oregon. If this was the only yardstick for measuring the education of our kids, it would not interest me in the slightest. If our kids were getting a poor education by saving a few bucks, I would think that would be the very shabbiest form of economy. This is not the case. Scholastically, our students measure up to the very best in the state, and always have. Almost every week we publish news items of some outstanding work our former students have done in their respective schools or occupations. Athletically, our teams have been at or near the top in almost every sport. Science, music, drama, speech, or any other school supported class or activity; the accom plishments speak well for the student, teacher and admini stration. And in these days of student unrest and activism, we in Nyssa have had less trouble than almost any school anywhere. In fact, we just don’t know what trouble is. This is not to say that those of you who own and pay taxes on large property holdings are not paying more than your share. We know that, and so do the members of the budget committee, many who are in that jam. Budgets aren’t tax programs, though, but simply an expenditure guide for a given goal. Our goal is a good educational program, thankfully at the lowest cost per pupil in the state; and we commend the school board. administraton, and citizens of this school district for insuring its continued success.
