never received a response from these parents.” Cloverdale Elementary School Principal Leland McCammon confirmed Leturgez’s statement, explaining that these nine parents have received three letters from school nurse Peggy Saucerman regarding the immunization requirement. “THE PROBLEM IS the parents will make an initial attempt and have a shot schedule but don’t follow through,” McCammon explained. “Then we have to start the process all over again. ” Leturgez added that 50 new students have registered since the first of the year compounding the task of keeping track of immunization records. “We’ve tried to bend over backwards,” Leturgez offered, “and we’re just not getting any response.” Saucerman cautioned the board later during the meeting that the problem will continue as new students are admitted. “EVERY MONTH they come in and I try to follow up the records,” Saucerman added. Leturgez said there are also 29 Cloverdale Junior-Senior High School students negligent in getting their immunization records on file. “They will receive their final warning notice on Jan. 9,” the superintendent explained. The board will also be scouting for a new member as Joan Corns’ resignation from the board was effective Nov. 30. Mrs. Corns cited family obligations in her resignation letter. PERSONS INTERESTED in applying for a seat on the school board must contact the superintendent within two weeks ex-

include contractors, representatives of the school corporation and personnel of Geupel DeMars, the firm hired to manage day-to-day construction. Acknowledging that construction will be under way while school is in session at the high school, the superintendent said contractors have been warned that workers are not to enter the high school building without proper authorization. Also, any heavy equipment needed at the construction site is to use the U.S. 231 entrance to the high school. In other discussion, Hammond reported to the board that a number of legal requirements must be met before the corporation can authorize demolition of the 1917 school building at Fillmore. He said corporation attorney Roy Sutherlin has advised that specifications will have to be written and bids accepted for razing of the structure for salvage. WHILE THE SCHOOL board hopes to be ready to advertise the demolition for bids sometime in January, Hammond said only interior salvage operations would be allowed while school is in session because of the hazard that might be posed to elementary students in the adjoining newer building. Hammond said actual razing of the building itself would be

pressing their desire and qualifications. Applicants must be residents of Taylor Township in Owen County. In other business, the board approved the extension of the library aide’s time by a half hour to meet the needs of students using the Cloverdale Junior-Senior High School library. Leturgez explained that the aide’s time is divided between the high school library and the elementary school library. “IT’S A TIME FACTOR,” the superintendent added. “We want coverage of the high school library to include the closing period of the day.” The board was also told that it must act promptly to facilitate repair of the 500gallon water heater at the Cloverdale Junior-Senior High School. “The unit is leaking badly,” Leturgez explained. “I received one quote to replace the heater unit at a cost of $9,000.” The board asked Leturgez to acquire more bids to repair the 12-year-old heater. BOARD SECRETARY Lillian Whitaker introduced a motion citing disagreement with the Cloverdale Town Board’s decision to move the civil defense siren to the water tower located near the Cloverdale Elementary School. Member Dewey Garrett offered a second to Whitaker’s motion “for the benefit of our children.” The motion was unanimously approved by the board. Concern over arrangements for Cloverdale Junior-Senior High School proms voiced at November’s meeting were also discussed. At the November meeting, students had expressed concern over Principal Gary Novak’s decision to have the proms at the high school rather than at

delayed until the school year ends in May. While on the subject of the Fillmore School, the superintendent said he is still awaiting delivery of two specially-ordered steam unit ventilators to heat two remodeled classrooms under the bleachers on the south side of the gymnasium. Ordered in August, the units had been expected in October, but Hammond said Monday night he now is hopeful they can be installed over the Christmas vacation. In the meantime, he said, a temporary heater is being moved into one of the remodeled rooms this week to supplement portable heaters already there. Hammond said lower ceilings will be installed in both rooms as soon as the permanent heating units arrived and are installed. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board: --Unanimously approved a new threeyear contract for Hammond, effective July 1, 1984. Hammond has served as superintendent since July 1,1975. -Gave tentative approval for use of the high school swimming pool for practice by an age-group swimming team affiliated with United States Swimming.
