Lakeland SCHOOL NEWS

School Board Discusses ■ h ■ ■ Projected Building Needs

Members of the Lakeland school board met in regular session Tuesday evening in the administrative offices and answered questions put to them by Bill Beemer of Syracuse on the projected building needs as described in the December 1969 issue of the “Reporter.” Said “Reporter” was mailed to each home in the Lakeland community and explains future building needs of the corporation as well as alternatives. In response to a question of adding 12 additional classrooms to the new Wawasee high school * 'building Mr. Beemer was told are 240 students in the present eighth grade class with 170 seniors. This mOans that next year 70 additional students will be using Wawasee high school. When the building was planned school officials had decided to use the recommended 6-3-3 plan with only sophomores, juniors and seniors using the high school building. After construction was started it was decided to send the freshmen into tlje high school building too. With the present junior high students the high school building, which was builU to hold 900 students, will house over that number in a'two-year period. Board member Floyd Baker stated one of the reasons bigger schools aren’t built in the first place is because the state won’t allow it. In a discussion about using the present facilities and going to a 12 month schooling, many disadvantages were stated. Smee the country as, a whole is on a nine month educational policy, if a 12 month schooling was used and a student moved in or out it would be hard to place him in the proper grade level. Superintendent Arnold stated there were 107 changes during the past six weeks with students enrolling and withdrawing. Summer school was also discussed with some larger cities now allowing students to take summer classes and graduate in three, years. Mr. Arnold stated the corporation did not followsuch a policy although summer school is held in the area and approximately 200 were enrolled last year. Public Meetings Planned The board stated it was not making any recommendations at the present time since there were some alternatives^ available In the near future the board hopes to hold meetings in the several communities to explain the increasing student population in the corporation and the alternatives available. Mr. Beemer also asked the board about students attending the school board meetings. He was told the meetings are open and often various student groups are. present. The board made it clear that anyone regardless of age is always welcome to attend its meetings. Howard Locke, president of the Lakeland Classroom Teachers

Association, was present to observe the meeting for his association. He also asked board members if they would give support to membership in professional organizations on the local, state and national level. A total of 97 per cent of the Lakeland teachers belong to the local oraanization, 87 per cent belong to the state organization and 51 per cent belong to the national organization. Mr. Baker and other members of the board stated they felt they would be out of place by doing this as the hoard shouldn't tell teachers what they should belong to...the right of choice is American! Mr. Locke stated he was not talking for the Lakeland teachers but for the state as a whole and was told that if the Lakeland teachers want the board to tell them they would at least consider same. Other Business In other business before the board superintendent Arnold recommended Mrs. Claudia Beechy, a graduate of Goshen college, to replace Mrs. Richard Bender in the second grade at Milford. Mrs. Bender will resign effective January 23. The recommendation was accepted. The superintendent also recommended the granting of a second semester transfer for Tony Conley, a senior at Warsawhigh school, who is enrolled in a three hour vocational machine shop program there Tony has recently moved into the Lakeland corporation, however, Wawasee does not provide the vocational class. The transfer was approved but will be rescinded should he withdraw from the class anytime during the second semester. , An architectural agreement was signed with Maurer, Inc., for plans and coat estimates for remodeling and-or building program presently being studied by the Lakeland corporation. Business manager Marion Lantz asked for approval of the purchase of a hood over the welding area in the shop at Wawasee high school. H® presented three estimates to the board and received permission to purchase the low estimate of $576 from Kenny 's Sheet Metal at Fort Wayne. The company has done other work at the high school Other bids were for $876 and $607 09 Bids on equipment and three new school busses will be accepted and opened at the February 10 board meeting. Mr. Lantz reported $10,069.49 in interest was received on investments of the corporation during the calendar year 1969. Monies for the cumulative building fund, general fund and debt service were invested for short periods of time. Mr. and Mrs Wayne Doeer of Miami Beach, Fla., stopped at Syracuse Monday afternoon and visited friends before going on to South Bend.

Questionnaires Being Returned Toßrademas SOUTH BEND—Tabulation of returns cm Congressman John Brademas’ Third District questionnaires which recently were mailed to every household in Elkhart, Kosciusko, Marshall and St. Joseph Counties is well under way, it was reported today. Brademas said that almost 10,000 questionnaires have been returned so tar and that large numbers still are coming in at his district office in the South Bend federal building. Area college students and other volunteer workers are tabulating the results. “The large number of returns is very gratifying,” Brademas said, “and reinforces my belief that citizens in our district are vitally interested in their government and receptive to the voicing of their opinions. In my 11 years as Congressman, these views of constituents have always been very helpful.” Brademas noted that, when the tabulation is complete, the results will be collated, printed and mailed to every household in the four counties of the third district. They also will be sent to President Nixon, the news media and entered into the Congressional Record. The questionnaire lists 10 subjects with multiple-choice answers for each. The subjects are: Viet Nam, tax relief, pollution control, military spending, welfare, social security, the surtax, farm policy, space program and pre-school education. * Junior High Hi Lites By SUE BLUE During the Christmas vacation from school, Mrs. Gary Bergmier, an English teacher at North Webster junior high, traveled to Waterloo, lowa, with her husband so that they could spend Christmas with relatives.
