School Will Cost More

(An Editorial) The new Lakeland high school will cost taxpayers more money and construction will be delaved. if the school board allows Plain township to be released from the corporation to join the XX arsaw school system. The fact, contended all along by 29 petitioners who circulated petitions against the release of Plain township, was revealed by two members of the Lakeland board, as they appeared before the Syracuse PTA last night. Glenn Brown of Milford said. XX ell need a new approach if we lose Plain township. It will take longer to pay for the new school and'will cost more per person." Board president James Stucky said. It is hard to say. We’re behind schedule at present, and if Plain township leaves, we ll be delayed somewhat. These two statements amounted to a surprising confession, in light of publicity issued by the Plain township citizens committee that Lakeland could go it alone very well without Plain township. The Lakeland school board has appeared fed up" with the fuss caused by the Plain township committee headed by Emil West and a highly vocal few who have favored the move to the Warsaw system. Their attitude in meeting with the Warsaw board to seek means of an orderly transfer of Plain township out of the Lakeland system appears ,to have been one of "getting them off our backs. And yet. the overwhelming voice of Lakeland township residents’want Plain township to remain in the Lakeland system. They contend Plain township became a part of the Lakeland system be legal process and that it should remain. Petitioners judged from 70 to 75 per cent of the Lakeland residents share this point of view. This is too strong a majority to ignore. The Lakeland board should abandon its mood of intransigience in the Plain township matter and ignore any attempt a dissolution of the now strong Lakeland school corporation. Lakeland taxpayers and residents interested in a strong school system’will praise this course of action in the years to come.
