Morrow County holds school security summit

As communities are getting ready for the upcoming school year, safety remains a primary focus for school leaders and law enforcement across Morrow County.

On August 8th Morrow County agencies participated in a regional School Security Summit hosted by the Intermountain ESD in Pendleton.

School administrators from Morrow and Ione school districts, along with representatives from Boardman Police Department, Boardman Fire, and Morrow County Sherriff Office all participated in a review of the regionally adopted school safety protocols from the “I Love u Guys” Foundation.

“The safety of our students and staff are always our first priority and we are fortunate in Morrow County to have an outstanding wraparound program that includes school counselors, Community Counseling Solutions school based clinicians, SROs, school nurses, and CARE coordinators,” said Matt Combe, Morrow County School District Superintendent.

Combe reiterated that school safety isn’t a one and done training. Morrow County schools will continue their training on school safety and reunification processes later in September supported by presenters from the “I Love u Guys” foundation and the community SROs. “The Ione School District looks forward to the continued working relationship with MCSD and all of the supporting agencies in the county. ISD will continue to focus on safety, and we look forward to working with MCSD in September to ensure that all services in Morrow County are working collaboratively to keep our staff, students, and community safe,” stated Keven Dinning, Ione School District Superintendent.

Morrow County Health District launching immediate Care Clinic in Boardman The clinic, to open in October, will offer non-emergency immediate care and occupational health services

Morrow County, Oregon – Realizing the growing need for access to immediate care and occupational health services in Morrow County, the Morrow County Health District is launching a new clinic in Boardman.

The clinic, called Boardman Immediate Care, will have two clinical exam rooms and X-ray and laboratory services. It will be housed in a custom-designed, mobile motor coach, which will be parked adjacent to MCHD’s office building at 101 Kindkade Rd. in Boardman. The coach is set to be delivered Friday, Sept.

2. The clinic is scheduled to open Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 9 a.m and will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day of the week.

“The need for immediate care services has been rising in Boardman,” said Emily Roberts, Chief ExecutiveOfficer at MCHD. “Boardman Immediate Care’s services will be conve-

nient, affordable and accessible, and they’ll be a vital component of our health care services that keep residents of Morrow County safe and healthy.”

Immediate care includes a range of non-emergency medical and occupational health services. Patients can be seen for: minor illnesses and injuries; skin rashes, irritation or infection; sprains, strains and muscle tears; scrapes or cuts; minor workplace injuries; drug screening; and more.

Anyone needing immediate care or occupational health services can access care at Boardman Immediate Care.

MCHD accepts all major insurance plans and is committed to providing financial assistance to people who have health care needs and are uninsured, underinsured, ineligible for a government program, or otherwise unable to pay for medically

necessary care.

“We are excited to launch this clinic to meet the rising health care needs of the people of Boardman and Morrow County,” Roberts said. “We know, too, that business and industry in this region rely on a healthy workforce. Our clinic will help ensure that local employees get the care and services they need.”

Irrigon Junior-Senior High prepares new track for 2022-23 school year Irrigon, OR – Students and staff returning to Irrigon Junior-Senior High School will notice some upgrades when they return to classes next week.

One big improvement is the new track currently under construction at Irrigon Junior-Senior High.

Athletic Director Mike Royer stated, “This is something that our school and community can take pride in. The track facility will provide an opportunity not only to our junior high and high school athletes, but to our youth and community in general.”

Construction began on the project in June, removing the gravel and dirt track to make way for the new surface being installed by Beynon Sports of Tualatin, a fabricator for track and field facilities. Much of the heavy lifting has already been done, with the Port of Morrow donating over $85,000 in labor and engineering. Currently, there is a three-inch deep base layer of asphalt, which will be covered in the next phase with a synthetic rubberized surface. The final track will be red, with the finishing lane

stripe painting slated for early September. The fresh surface is expected to make

its debut in mid-September.

Originally built to support a middle school, the old gravel track’s functionality had become limiting for the track and field competitors.

According to Royer, as the school has grown the need for a better surface has become increasingly apparent. In past years the track team bussed to Umatilla to have a more professional surface to practice on. The new surface will allow students to have an appropriate facility for practices and track meets. Royer noted that Irrigon’s track and field team has consistently been competitive in previous

years, and this improvement will increase safety for runners and allow for home track meets.

Irrigon Junior-Senior High School Principal Rose Palmer noted that the improved facility will be safer for everyone, with lighting in the evening that will provide “an opportunity for the community to expand their recreation options.”

She also pointed out broad community support with helping to fund this major improvement, which includes funding from Morrow County School District, the City of Irrigon, Morrow County Unified Recreation District, Columbia River Technologies, Boardman Community Development Association, CREZ Board, and the Port of Morrow.

Royer has enjoyed watching this process unfold, stating, ”It was impressive watching things come together this past year to make it a reality. And I want to extend a big thank you to the Port of Morrow and all our supporters for everything they provided in making this project happen.”
