Welcome to Yamhill Carlton School District!
Important Information and Announcements:
H1N1 Flu Update
Mark your Calendar - No School February
8-12, 2010. This is a Furlough week for our staff due to the
Economic Issues the School is Facing. All facilities are closed
with the exception of the YCHS gym on a limited basis.
I have been asked how I feel about the passage of
Measures 66 and 67. The truth is I have mixed feelings. On one hand I really
didn’t know what we would do as a school system if the Measures had not passed.
In fact, without the revenue from Measures 66 and 67 the school would have been
in a deep crisis mode. But on the other hand I worry about how the Measures
will impact our business community. More than anything I resent business being
pitted against education as if the two should be foes. I also find it unfortunate there is
misinformation about how the tax measures themselves would make schools whole
or even flush with money. That is simply not true. In the near future, I will
receive from the State, and will post on this site, our estimated State School
Fund for 2010-11. It is rather complicated, but I will do the best I can to
show how the school revenue will at best be up slightly next school year and at
worst actually decline.What I do know
is that our school, which is a reflection of the Oregon economy, is not out of the
“woods.” I do hope some positive comes out of this election and
Oregon uses this vote as momentum to
figure out a long-term taxation solution that never again pits economic classes
or businesses against each other, or schools, during difficult financial times.
But no matter the final outcome of this I know the
staff at YC will continue to maximize our educational mission while reducing
excess expenditures, all in the name of providing a quality education to the
children of this community.
