SOMEWHAT OF A SURPRISE The Independent-News is running a legal notice this week for the John Glenn School Corporation concerning a hearing to be held on Tuesday, November 25, at 7:30 p.m., in the library of the Walkerton Elementary School, for the purpose of holding the public hearing for all interested persons on the proposal to construct additions to, and improvements by means of remodeling and renovation to the existing Walkerton Elementary School and to construct Corporation Central Service facilities at a cost of approximately $2,000,000.00, in accordiance with I.C. 20-5-52-2. At such hearing, the Board will explain the potential value of this program and invites all interested parties to attend said hearing and to present testimony and ask questions concerning this project. What came rather as a surprise is the construction of Corporation Central Service facilities. The project has been in the making for some time, dating back to when Sollitt Construction was associated with the planning before going out of business and Cole Associates took over. During all the board meetings in 1986, we found no mention of Central Service facilities until, very briefly in the October 14 meeting, under item Bof New Business, the last sentence stated: “The Board directed Mr. Clinton to make preliminary plans on all the named items plus the provisions of a central service facility for the School Corporation.” This was at the end of a couple of paragraphs concerning the Walkerton Elementary School additions and renovation, which we understand is necessary if the John Glenn School Corporation is to continue with Project Prime Time. We are not trying in any way to evaluate this program, if the Board feels it is necessary and doing the job, we stand behind them all the way. We do understand that the State Legislators put a lot of schools in a position where they needed additional classrooms to participate in the Prime Time program and also that the compensation from the state for this project does not begin to cover any costs other than additional teachers needed to meet the standards. We were surprised to see the addition of the Central Services facilities. This was brought up several years ago when expansion plans were discussed and was not a popular item with the taxpayers. We doubt that it will be well received at this time as well. We would like to add one more item to this matter. Last year the School Board paid a substantial fee to Dr. Day and his collegues of Indiana University to run a study of the Corporation on all aspects. He returned a75 page report, which The Independent-News published in full for their readers, and meetings were held later with Dr. Day to explain the report. We would like to quote one paragraph of this report, this being the first paragraph under “Financing Any Recommended Construction”. Dr. Day stated: “The existing debt service schedule requires heavy annual payments for outstanding indebtedness until 1992. If possible, any construction project requiring much indebtedness should be delayed so that new debt service would begin at the time that large drops in existing debt service occurs.” It appears that the announced decision to be discussed at the Tuesday, November 25 hearing, does not coincide with the advice the Board sought and got from the study they ordered from Dr. Day.
