Report On Costs A report was given to the board of certain costs since reorganization (July 1962- February 5 1965> the cost included equipment < funii- . jure, science equipment, typewriters. etc and improvements and repair to building and site J blacktopping. roofs, heating, painting,, etc. 1 . The tables appear below. Ail work was done from the' budget w ith no cumulative money being used Mr. Speer Reports “As per instructed at the Febru-' ar-y. 9 meeting of the school board, . I .am report regard ing the need . for additional- class rooms anil additional teachers. -I was instructed to make this report tinder two. Jieadings. namely. “Iand "Get By’’ In thinking ’ through this, situation . I have decided that, at the present time, it would be impossible to achieve the ideal. Therefore, I have listed our needs under two headings, namely; “Better” and “Get By". This was the opening paragraph on a iletaikxl report of the need for additional classrooms and additional teachers as presented to the board ■ ; ator. • : The report told what needed to be ; done to make better elementary _s'' yTTo be don - ■ by lit told <■/ problems at all four i school - \ i In a belter schools "17 additional classrooms are needed and 10 and one half additional teachers and to get by 10 additional I classrooms are needed with five and | one. fourth additional teachers. Gharies Garner, principal of the Srtvjol. was present and | reported the cafeteria at the school is K-inc used as a study hall too It is used four periods nut of the seven period day The cafeteria, with less than 100 seats, feeds from 360 to ; 400 per day. Board president. Stucky asked what could be done if they couldn’t even do the "Get By" and Mr >-<t>r answered that the schools Would just have to keep’ going along as they are now . - Board members wanted to know how many rooms are going to be left when the hi ch school boys and girls leave as the board is limited bv money Under the present plans when the new high school is bufat there w-iil ( be no money available for additional elementary rooms. The number erf rooms is to be in- ; vestigated. | Three possible ways to obtain additional class rooms without adding to the schools is to purchase buildings and turn them into class rooms, rent mobil class rooms or rent church rooms The latter seemed to be favored by the boabd.

The Map TeHs The Story

In the interest of keeping our readers as coirnpletely informed as possible on Lakeland school matters, we are reproducing a map of the entire Lakeland school area, pointing out only the four towns involved and the three prospective school sites on which the school board has taken options. ' ‘ . Soil borings have beeen made of these three sites, but no report has been released as yet. The Lakeland school district encompasses four and a half townships — Plain. Tippecanoe, Turkey Creek, Van Buren, and the east half’of Jefferson township. This map is stripped of all roads..hills and lakes, but it does reveal .distances “aS the crow flies.” . ' ■ . ' 'lt is interesting t 6 note that the distance from Leesburg to the Sutton site is less than the distance from Leesburg to Warsaw. It is not hard to conclude that a school bus could even drive from Leesburg to the Kline site (the site favored by the Lakeland school board) in less time than it would, take to go from Leesburg to the Warsaw school, when one considers the amount of traffic there is in Warsaw.

(At Editorial)

Opposition that arose from a “minority, group" (our quotes) in Plain township to being a part of the Lakeland school corporation appears to have evaporated during the past week. In fact. Plain township residents who have all along fhvored belonging to the Lakeland corporation have l>vc>>me outspoken in their lesires tin-iie as a part- of thatocoqx.ration., ' Our position is and has been that Plain tovdnshipi is legally a pa'rt, of the Lakeland community school system and it should .continue to be.' Differences there are and. differences i ; ere wiil ’i>e.’ bill these can be'ii'optvl out without dissident residents "picking up their marbles and going home ” (ottr quotes again).. . All considered, the Lakeland school board has done a z fine'job with a most difficult task. " We should hurdle, this problem of school site location and hurdle it fast so the Lakeland school system can keep its timetable of having new high school classrooms ready for use in September of 1967. Anything less would be to give Lakeland children less than they are-entitled to in way of education.
