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
