Special Ballots For Election Os School Board Members In Many May Primaries

INDIANAPOLIS — Thousands of Indiana voters will encounter something new when they visit ,the polls for the primary election May 5 — special ballots for the election of school board members. Dr. Lorin Burt, executive secretary of the Indiana School Boards Association, said that in the coming primary election a record number of board members will be elected in the newly reorganized school corporations scattered throughout the state. He said that voters will select about 400 board members in US school corporations. Candidates for school board member run on a non-partisan ballot, with the person receiving the highest number of votes being elected. For several years school board members have been elected in scattered corporations over the state organized under the provisions of the Metropolitan school district act of 1949. But the vast increase in the number of school board members being elected in this primary has come about as a result of the large number of school corporations which have been organized under the Reorganization Act of 1959. Dr. Burt said that elected school boards are favored over appointed boards by the majority of experts who have studied the operation of boards throughout the nation. “School boards which have been elected by the voters", he said, “are thought to be closer to the people and more able to represent their wishes and desires as they make decisions which will determine how the schools will be operated”, he said. "If the voters are not interested in the election of school board members and do not make an effort to become informed about the candidates”, Burt said, "They may be saddled with a school, board which has an axe to grind or fails to represent the wishes of the people in the operation of the schools”. “The job of a school board member is one of public service, and if a person has not participated in service activities in the community, there is little reason to believe that he will have the time available to serve effectively on the local school board”, he said. Certain minimum levels of education are not essential for the person to be effective, he continued, but he should have indicated that he has an open mind, will listen to all sides of an issue, will rise to the occasion and make a decision when the time is appropriate, and will then stick to his decision. “The position of a school board member is one of public trust”, Burt said, "and the effective school board member is normally a person who has been successful in some way in the community”. CORRECTION It has been learned that Charles Garner, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Garner, Sr, of Leesburg is the Boys’ State delegate and Rodney Teeple, son of Mr. and Mrs. Teeple of Tippecanoe lake, is the alternate.
