PUBLIC INPUT MEETINGS SET BY J.G. SCHUOL CORP. In the very near future the John Glenn School Board shall make some very important long-range decisions. As a whole, these decisions make up the plan for how we can best provide a quality education program for all children and the entire school community. Individually, some of the issues are as follows: What is the best way in which to combine our two middle school programs and. therefore, create a better program? How can we most effectively react to Project Prime Time to lower all elementary class sizes? What additional facilities and resources do we need to provide compensatory education for disadvantaged children? What types of programs are needed so that students that are gifted and talented may be abk to learn in progress that really challenge them? How can we best provide the staff and facilities needed to carry out our new expanded high school graduation requirements? What is the most efficient and effective transportation system to get students to their schools? How can the cost of these and many other programs be effectively managed so that property tax rates will not become exorbitant? Last spring, in order to help them deal with these issues, the School Board commissioned a study by Dr. C. William Day of Indiana University. That written report was received in June of this year. Later in the summer the Independent-News published the study in its entirety. Copies of the study are also located at all John Glenn School Corporation schools. The upcoming meetings are another attempt to gather information so that sound decisions can be made. There are approximately 9,000 residents of the John Glenn School Corporation school community and these decisions will affect each and every one of us, so please attend. Dr. Day will chair these meetings to answer your specific questions about his report and the Board wants to hear your ideas. The public input meetings will be Thursday. October 10, at 7:30 p.m. at North Liberty School and Tuesday, October 22, at 7:30 p.m. at Urey Middle School. SENIOR FELLOWSHIP TO MEET MONDAY The Senior Fellowship Club will meet on Monday. October 7, at the Walkerton Community Building for their regular meeting and program. It was suggested at the previous meeting that members bring a bingo prize for October. Hostesses will be Mamie Hahn and Nora Hahn. WALKETON VOL. FIRE DEPT. ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS The Walkerton Volunteer Fire Department is now accepting applications for firemen. You must be 21.
