Mount Morris school district cuts budget and closes junior high
Mount Morris School District on Monday cut 108000 from next year’s budget, voted to close the junior high, and to seek a 25 cent tax referendum in April to balance the year. Affected cuts include positions in elementary teaching maintenance and bus driving, higher athletic ticket prices, junior high principal stipend elimination, a bus route cut, and the transfer of junior high classes to the high school despite scheduling concerns. The 25 cent levy would raise about 67000, balancing the budget for one year and prompting a merger review with Oregon Forreston or Polo if consolidation occurs. Board members split on the tax push with Obendorf pressing for unity and Davis voting yes alongside Francis Hough plus Urish, Kaufman, Smith against, as administrators prepare state-mandated plans.
