Burns Elementary School District
Burns Elementary School District was a school district headquartered in Burns, Oregon. It was also known as Harney County School District 1.[1]
A 1975 proposal to merge the Burns elementary, Hines, Suntex, and Double O districts was turned down by voters.[2]
In 1986 the district had 650 students in one junior high school and three elementary schools.[3] They were Filmore Primary School, Washington Primary School, Henry L. Slater Elementary School, and the junior high school. The Slater Elementary Cafeteria, as of 1985, had the only cafeteria in the school district. The junior high school students traveled on foot to this cafeteria, while school buses were used to transport the primary school students to Slater.[4]
In 1989 it merged into the Harney County School District 3.[5]
