SUSTAINING
Budget Election Friday, June 9
Nys^a school district patrons will again go to the polls Friday
to vote on the operating budget for the 1972-73 school year.
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.
