School board members begin study for insurance renewal

At its regular meeting Tuesday night the Lakeland Community School Board of Trustees heard a report from Art Marose from Hall and Marose Agency, Inc., Warsaw, concerning the school corporation insurance program which is up for renewal on December 31. Bids for the program will be advertised in October with the final decision coming in December. The Hall and Marose Agency have held the insurance program for the corporation for the past six years. Marose >said his agency provides the corporation with a package policy. On buildings and contents, a blanket coverage is given which comes to an agreed amount or 90 per cent of the appraised value. The program also provides for an all risk policy on things such as band instruments, sprinkler leakage and water fountains bursting. There is also a SSOO deductible and a student medical policy where the student is reimbursed in full. A total of $5,000 has also been set for medical expenses on passengers of fleet vehicles. The total amount of insurance set forth in the 1977-78 budget comes to $40,000. The insurance program is renewed every three years. Several other reports were also given to the board at its meeting. The vandalism report for the 1976-77 school year at a total of $2,154.33 was read. Broken down by individual schools, this comes to — Milford Junior High, $84.53; Milford Elementary, $269.29. Syracuse Elementary and Junior High combined, $612.09; North Webster Elementary and Junior High combined, $405.15; and Wawasee High School, $783.27. Under present insurance, the corporation will only have to pay the first SSOO of these costs. A vocational receipt report was also read to the board. Cost of the receipts comes to a total of $119,018, $26,934 which is reimbursed by the federal government. This means that $92,084 would come from local funds. A cash tuition policy was approved by the board. This policy calls for tuition payments to be made in advance for students wishing to attend schools in the corporation but reside outside the corporation limits. The policy in the past was for the parent to be billed at the end of the school year. Payment will now be made on a quarterly basis. Total cost of one year's tuition, based on last year pupil cost rates, is S9OO. A total of $225 will be paid prior to each quarter. * Also approved by the board was the school lunch agreement for the 1977-78 school year. This program is the same as last year's and provides either free milk or free or reduced lunches to those in need. Don Arnold, superintendent, said all parents who fall under the category can apply. “We must accept it on basis of what they provide us," he said. Funds for the program come from the state and are reimbursed to the corporation. Arnold said 52 cents per each free meal was reimbursed last year. A total of 56 cents will probably be reimbursed this year he said. Educational TV Next approved by the school board was an agreement with WNIT-TV, South Bend, for educational programming that can be transcribed by the school for its use at a cost of $350. Programs on WNIT-TV, channel 34. are transcribed off the set onto cassettes for use by the schools when needed. Arnold said principals in the corporation receive a brochure from WNIT-TV each month describing educational programming for the month. The prinicpals then get together with the teachers and decide which programs should be used This will be the second year for the program. Arnold said that a great amount of programs on the station were used last year. “It saves us in buying film," he added. The rate of $22 a day for substitute teachers was also approved. Arnold said other corporations pay their substitute teachers around $23-24 per day, but he feels this hasn't had any effect on the Lakeland corporation. “By and large, we have been able to meet our needs." The $22 rate will be reviewed at the end of the 1977 year, or on December 31. Letters will be sent out to those teachers that substituted last year in the next week Teacher resignations for three teachers in the junior high schools were next approved Those teachers resigning are: Gary Ted, math, Milford Junior High; Tom Stiver, math. North Webster Junior High. Arnold said two of these teachers have decided to go into business while the of i r has

decided to join another school corporation. Teadung vacancies were also approved Tuesday night. Mrs. Kristine Ummel was approved to teach kindergarten on a half-time basis at North Webster. Gregory Ackerman was also appravedto teach fourth grade atNprai Webster. Wtih the hiring of Ackerman, the corporation now has a male teacher in each of the fourth grade levels in the schools. Arnold said, “this does help with problems of control at this age level." It was announced at the meeting that a workshop will be held by the Indiana School Board Association for all interested board members in Indianapolis August 30-31. The final budget hearing for the 1977-78 i school budget will also be considered at a meeting August 25 at 7 p m. in the administrative building. Visitors Seek Answers Approximately nine visitors were also present at the meeting to ask questions of board members. The majority of the questions concerned the proposed physical education facility. Don Mort, remonstrator. first wished to express his appreciation on the way the Tuesday morning hearing on the facility was conducted. “I’m very pleased the way the meeting was conducted. It was a wor-

The Fifth Season returns to Goshen

The Fifth Season singing group, directed by Dennis Rumfelt and Marsha Yost, returned Sunday, Aug. 7, from a 10-day trip to Washington D. C. and surrounding areas. Rumfelt, Syracuse, said this is the group's eighth annual trip and the third trip it has made to Washington The group is made up of 40 youths, two parents, a pianist, photographer and group study person. Parents attending this trip were Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Mock. The pianist was their daughter. Anita. Duane Stickel is the group's photographer and Marilyn Weaver the group study person. The singing group left on Friday, July 29. at 6 p.m. On Saturday, they made their first presentation at the National Cathedral. Rumfelt played the argan at the cathedral, which is one of the largest organs in the United States. Also on Saturday, the group made a presentation on the Senate steps of the Capitol Building to tourists and made another presentation at the Fellowship House, which is host to many dignitaries and ambassadors in the area. On Sunday, the Western Presbytarian Church, two blocks west of the White House, was the scene of the group's first presentation. An evening presentation was also given that day at the Woodbridge Church of the Brethren of which Rev. Loyal Vanderveer, a former Milford resident, is pastor. The group traveled to Lowville, N. Y.. on Monday. Aug. 1, to make a presentation at the First Mennonite Church. Then, on Tuesday, a trip across the border to Montreal, Canada, was undertaken for a presentation at the Saint Thomas A" Becket Catholic Church Rumfelt said he felt the Canada congregation was the best of the tour. “They were really fantastic people," he said. The group moved on to Kittery, Maine, on Wednesday for a day of sightseeing and swimming. Then it was off to Boston, Mass., on Thursday, to give a presentation at the World Headquarters of Christian Science Church. Two presentations were also given at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston also on Thursday. Rumfelt said while in Boston, the group had a chance to hear Dr. Richner, organist at Mother Church. He said he also received

thwhile meeting."

Arnold agreed with Mort. He also said, “It is a concern of mine as a corporation, we don’t divide ourselves.” Some questions were also raised on the necessity of the facility. Max Beer, Milford, said, “are you going to represent wishes of constituents? How can you go forth with the facility when most of the people I’ve talked to are against this?" Billy Little, president of the school board, replied to Beer by saying, “we felt we were receiving patrons approval. I think it has to be recognized school administration hasn’t made any effort to counteract this.” Little also felt the number of people signing the petitions, 200 in Milford, wasn’t enough for the board to change its minds. Arnold also said as taxpayers, “we have to provide for upcoming generations." Several questions on teacher’s salaries, bus driver salaries and the 1977-78 school budget were also asked. Finally, the financial report for July, claims totaling $16,690.34 and all unapproved minutes were approved. Bank balances at the end of July include: State Bank of Syracuse, $365,063.73; Counting House Bank, North Webster. $55,115.23; First National Bank of Warsaw, Milford branch, $37,336.78; and Lake City Bank, North Webster. $7,112.

an opportunity to play the organ at the church, which is the seventh largest organ in the world. Friday. Aug. 5, was another day off for the group. They went to Hershey. Pa., and visited Hersheypark. Saturday, the group traveled to Saxons burg. Pa., where they performed at the Westminister Presbyterian Church. The final service of the tour was given on Sunday at Stryker, Ohio. The group made a presentation at the Lockport Mennonite Church followed by a reception for 60 parents and friends. Rumfelt said the whole trip was made on a 47-passenger bus. He also said the trip was “the best trip in response by the congregations." Rumfelt also mentioned the group tried to get an audience with President Carter, but because of Carter's busy schedule was unable to do so. He did say the group is now on file at the White House and they should receive an invitation in the future. The Fifth Season Singing group was started in August of 1969 at the First United Methodist Church in Goshen where Rumfelt was organist. It was originally conceived as a creative folklore worship to be presented one time but, because of the interest, became permanent Besides the annual trip, Rumfelt said the rest of the year the group performs in Goshen and the surrounding communities.
