Members Of The Rockweli-Cantwell Families Inc. met with the Cioverdale School Board Monday night to present a check for $50,000 toward the new science addition. Board mem-

Cioverdale PURPOSE OF THE proposal is to dry out the area on the east side of the elementary for the playground facilities. Much tiling has already taken place and board member John Monnett suggested, “We find out for sure what we do want to do before we go into this further.” The proposal was tabled for further consideration. In personnel matters, the board approved the employment of Debra J. Sullivan on a temporary contract to replace Beverly Hedge during a maternity leave for second semester. Also the approval of a maternity leave for Mrs. Snuffens (Title I intermediate remedial reading teacher) was granted from March 21 until May 12. The board approved the classroom work be carried on by Mrs. Rice using the lesson plans of Mrs. Snuffens until her return. A professional leave was also granted South Putnam construction would come from the corporation’s cumulative building fund, not from the general fund. SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER Sherman Hacker commented that the cumulative building fund must be renewed with the state each year, and in “five years we may not have one.” School Board President David Landes then commented on another “option which must be looked at,” the possibility of consolidation of Belle Union and Fillmore at Fillmore. “That should be a definite consideration," Landes said. The costs were brought up again by a member of the audience who asked for a comparison of Landes’ idea with the other five options. Landes stated that there were no such figures included in the recent study by James and Associates. FIGURES WERE THEN computed by the board members using the Kingscott study made in 1977. The figure, $740,000 to $940,000 was brought up to date by adding 35 per cent plus 1.35 inflation factor to make the total cost estimate of Landes’ proposal at about $1,112,000. “Have you considered the possibility of consolidating Fillmore and Belle Union at the high school site, then adding onto the building to include Reelsville when the building is older?” a woman in the packed audience questioned. “That’s a possibility which must be looked at,” Landes asserted. “I DON’T THINK that’s fair, you should build one building so everyone will have to run back and forth together,” a parent interjected. Parents were concerned about their children’s education, as well as the amount of money which would be saved. “All we’ve talked about is money, and that’s not the issue here. We should take

Mrs. Boling to speak to retired teachers

Mrs. Janett Boling, curriculum director of Greencastle Community Schools, will be the guest speaker at the luncheon meeting of the Putnam County Retired Teachers Association at noon on Monday, Feb. 11 in the Putnam Inn. MRS. BOLING’S position as director of curriculum came into being at the beginning of the 1979-80 school year. The 1978-79 school year was the first year of the Greencastle Community Schools’ participation in CAPPS, an acronym for Comprehensive Assessment and Program Planning System. CAPPS is Indiana’s response to the accountability and competency movement so much in the news in education today,

IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board granted approval of Gary Shelter (at $500) and Miss Dierdorf (at $1,000) as leaders of the summer 4-H program. Also approval was granted for the Cioverdale Soil Judging Team to attend the International Judging Competition in Oklahoma City from April 28 to May 2. At the conclusion of the public meeting Mrs. Elaine Pearson requested information regarding the fire regulations of the doors in the high school building during ball games. Reportedly, several of the front doors were locked or chained and would have prohibited an exit in case of fire. Frazee noted the doors should not have been chained during a game and said he would take the matter under conContinued from page 1 time to talk about our own kids’ education,” one parent voiced. “HAS THE SCHOOL board come up with a new boundary plan?” another parent questioned. “I just want to clear up one thing,” board member Hacker said, “We’ve never said we would justify the building of a Belle Union school by busing kids in. If we bus anyone’s kids, it’ll be because they would go to the school which they live closer to,” Hacker added. Former school board member Sue Birdsell commented that the boundaries are causing some of the divisions. She added that “no one wants to give up their community school, and that’s understandable.” “I get the impression that some people are jealous because they think some one else will get the new school in their community. Some people are jealous because Belle Union might get a new school,” a parent commented. A BELLE UNION MAN brought up the issue of not being informed about the meetings, and the plans the school board made. “Not anyone here is against the idea of a new school, but the neglect of not being informed. My opinion is that we’re going to have to spend money on a school which is centrally located so we’ll remain South Putnam Community Schools." There were numerous other comments restating what had been said at least twice before during the meeting. Supt. Hammond made it clear that the board will be meeting with School House Planning Feb. 14 to tour the three elementaries. AFTER THE DISCUSSION part of the meeting most of the parents left and the board made some routine decision about school matters. Jerry Dewiggins was hired as the per-

sideration. Mrs. Pearson also asked about the snow removal policy regarding the north and west walks of the high school. “Aren’t the janitors suppose to take care of them?" she questioned. Frazee responded that the walks should have been cleared. “Well, they weren’t,” Mrs. Pearson noted. IN A FINAL QUESTION, Mrs. Pearson requested, “How many teachers come up for tenure this year?” Frazee was unable to provide the number but noted that any teacher completing the second year in the corporation would be considered for a tenured position this year. The board then adjourned into executive session for the discussion of personnel evaluations. The next regular meeting of the Cioverdale School Board is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, March 3 at the Administration Building. manent Reelsville janitor, effective Tuesday. Hammond read two bids on fencing for the high school campus to deter vandalism, and keep autos off the grounds after hours. One bid listed the total estimate at nearly $3,000, while the other was about $5,500. The board will decide which bid to accept at another meeting. HAMMOND REPORTED TO the board that a check with Central Insurance Agency proved to be a possible savings in the annual insurance bill for the corporation. Hammond said that there are some areas with dual coverage, which could be reduced, cutting the annual premium. Hammond reported that the teachers prefer to start teacher orientation on Aug. 21, dismiss Dec. 19 and go until May 29 for the next school year. The board discussed the matter and it was felt that school shouldn’t be held beyond Memorial Day, if possible. The school calendar will be discussed at a later meeting. ALSO DISCUSSED AT length was the elementary basketball program. Hammond said he and the principals had discussed possible changes in the program at a principals’ meeting. The principals seem to agree that some type of intramural program should be a part of the basketball program, and the board discussed the dismissal of the grade school basketball coaches in favor of community volunteer coaches. Milton Krahn, South Putnam High School assistant principal, was given permission to visit the United States Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs in March. The trip will be paid for by the USAF.

Legislature 'BO 1-70 lighting wins approval

By REP. JOHN THOMAS District 48 We have now completed action on bills in the house of origin. Henceforth, the House will only consider Senate-passed bills, while the Senate takes action on those coming from the House. The problem of working out an agreement on highway funding is still with us. While many suggestions have been made, none have been agreed upon by a majority of legislators. Some legislators insist that funds for mass transportation be included in the highway package, thereby causing problems with those legislators who disagree. THE HOUSE HAS passed a supplemental budget and sent it to the Senate, where it undoubtedly will undergo some changes. Budget increases are proposed for public schools, higher education, public health, mental health and several agencies of state government. A proposed amendment to the Indiana Constitution, limiting the length of the legislative sessions, has now passed the House and should pass the Senate. Pursuant to its terms, the amendment would limit the long session to 110 calendar days and the short session to 70 calendar days. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I was assigned the responsibility of drafting the legislation known as “Equal Access to Justice”. It provides that a state agency would

It is felt that fewer rules arid regulations will be issued if the agency has to pay for its improper actions. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT that the State Highway Commission has approved lighting for the 1-70 intersection with State Road 59 and State Road 42 south of Brazil. Final designs are being drawn, with bid letting scheduled for April and construction to be completed this summer. Hopefully, no serious motor vehicle accident will occur prior to the installation of the lighting. Last week 75 senior students from Greencastle High School visited the Legislature. This week the 60 seniors from Clay City High School will be there, along with their teacher John Mercer. My legislative pages this past week from Van Buren High School were Ambra Eldridge, Charla Willison, Doug Elliott and Lucinda Jenkins, and from Cioverdale High School were Kathryn Masten, Richard Reynolds, Barbara Scott and Brad Tucker. My pages this week will be from Brazil High School. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT me on any legislative matter of concern to you by calling in a toll-free message to 800-382-9841 or phoning directly at (sl7) 269-3562. You may write: Rep. John Thomas, Box 194, Brazil, 47834.
