One Year $ 7.00 Two Years $1.1.00 School Elections Tuesday Nyssa school patrons face two very important elections next Tuesday. At stake is both the School District No. 26 budget, and the Treasure Valley Community College budget. We heard a man say earlier this week that he was going to vote Noon both budgets, and we can only ask "Why?” These are not elections to vote on new taxes, but to sustain programs, and very important programs that are already in existence. The college budget is up for approval for the third time, and the levy is consistent with that of the last several years, and down lc from that approved in the current budget. Last year we approved a $2.62 tax rate per thousand assessed valuation, and the amount to be voted on this year is $2.61. TVCC does not have a tax base, and the entire levy must be approved each year for the college to exist. Unfortunately, community colleges are financed partly by property tax, as are our local school districts, so we as taxpayers have the responsibility of keeping them in operation. Our state universities would be hard-pressed, in fact it would be physically impossible to accommodate the 40.000 or more community college students now attending these schools in Oregon. TVCC. as does Blue Mountain Community College in Pendleton and Central Oregon at Bend, fulfills our needs in Eastern Oregon, as do the other ten colleges in Western Oregon. School District Budget The Nyssa school budget is an entirely different proposition this year, but more than ever, we think, our schools deserve strong support. We will be asked to approve an amount $240.922 outside the six percent limitation. It goes without saying that there is a sizeable increase in the budget, and the reasons are both understandable and necessary. Since June 5. 1974. the date of the fire, our school building maintenance has been unexpectedly low. We haven’t had buildings, or not many, and most of the expenses of heating and maintenance have been borne by the LDS Church, Nazarene Church. Methodist Church, TVCC and Mr and Mrs. Al Chadwick, who have provided quarters in their building at little expense to the district. They deserve our thanks. Now that our new buildings are nearing completion and will be occupied during this school year, they must be maintained. A totally new experience requiring some educated guesses as to actual expenses, it would seem hard for us as outsiders to second guess the long months of study put in by the school board and budget committee. We agree with those of you who protest ever increasing taxes. We can't agree that we should take out our frustrations on our local institutions which exist entirely as a result of our efforts, and for our benefit. We believe that the Nyssa Schools and Treasure Valley Community College both deserve our continued support. Superintendent's Corner By W. L. McPartland The Nyssa School Board wishes to thank the com munity for its support and vote of confidence in getting our new school complex this near completion. The High School classroom building will be ready for use this fall. The cafeteria, elementary multipurpose room, gym and auditorium are all in the making and progressing ni cely. Without the community support we would still be looking forward to the use of churches, store buildings and TVCC’s gym this fall for the opening of school. The 1976-77 budget has been prepared to cover costs of school operation and maintaining the new and present buildings. The bud get requires a vote of the people on $240.922 in excess of the 6% limitation. Inflation has bothered all of you. I’m sure. It's also an important factor in the cost of the total school budget. The opening of new schools will also require the school district to pay for utilities that were being carried by chur ches and TVCC. Some of these additional costs are for heat and lights, increased insurance costs and inflation in general. I hope each of you will support your school budget next Tuesday, June 29. 8 a m. to 8 p.m. at the Nyssa Primary Building. Remember the Open House at the new High School sponsored by the Nyssa School Building Com mittee next Sunday. June 27. from 2 to 5 p.m. Adrian Pastor Honored A large crowd attended a potluck supper held Wednes day night, June 16, honoring the Rev. and Mrs. Stanley Banks of Parma. The Rev. Banks has been assistant pastor for several years in the Adrian and Roswell churches For the last ten months he has been pastor pro-tern while Adrian and Roswell were seeking a new pastor. Upon the installation of the Rev. Robert Ball on May 2, it released the Rev Banks to the retirement he so richly deserves. After the meal a short musical program was held. Corsages and buttoniers were presented to the Rev. and Mrs. Banks, the Rev. and Mrs. Ball, and the 1976 graduates. Those taking part in the program were Andrea Radford, Terri Lee Hill, Susan Stam, Libby Miller, Thursday, Jun« 24. 1976 Nyssa Gate City Journal.
