County Institute Deferred to Pendleton After Teacher Vote
The next annual county teacher institute for Umatilla County will be held in Pendleton rather than Pendiston, per a teacher vote by about forty ballots. The move aligns with past joint meetings with the State Teachers' Association, though some favor smaller gatherings for greater benefit. Deferral to next spring may accommodate remote residents and scheduling while state officials focus elsewhere. The report also includes a Hindu caste excerpt and a brief joke about a palat joke between James and S-Executive.
