The girls’ restroom renovations would be the same as the boys’ and the total cost for both restrooms would be $5,360. The board approved the recommendations with the exception of the carpet. The board voted to have the carpet reevaluated by a professional service to see if only part of the carpet needed to be redone instead of having all new carpet laid. _ Syracuse Total costs on suggestions for the elementary and junior high schools is $215,831. The board approved all suggestions with the exception of wall locker replacement, acceptable to repair and repaint and excluding the elevator. Brown’s suggestions for the schools included; Replace approximately 150 wall lockers at $12,000; an elevator for handicapped access to second floor, may be able to install in stage area of gym, this would include a special foundation work, walls for shaft, machine room, etc., $85,000; and remop roof over junior high area, approximately 19,300 square feet, $3,28L Also repave asphalt drive at rear of school, approximately 745 square yards. $9,500; replace approximately 1,825 square feet linoleum floor tiles in new elementary area, $3,000; cover glass block® windows, as in

Milford, approximately 4,276 square feet, $39,000; temperature control, $3,800; and rebuilt steam traps, $1,650 The girls’ room renovation under the old gym would be to remove three water closets, three showers, one lavatory and provide new water closets (one to be handicapped), new shower facility and open lockers and shelves for clothes for 30 girls, arid new lavatory facilities. The boys’ room renovation under the old gym would remove two water closets, two showers, one lavatory and provide two new water closets (one handicapped), new shower facilities, new lavatory facilities, and a mirror over the lavatory. The costs for both projects would be $56,000. High School In discussing the recommendations for Wawasee High School, board members agreed that every effort available will be made to have the elevator ready by next fall. Arnold told the board that for schools it is permissible for an elevatorJ to open in a classroom and for the shaft to be on the outside wml. He also stated that the cost of the new elevator should be less than the estimated $82,000 because of attaching the shaft to an outside wall. Other suggestions included recarpeting certain areas, approximately 1,044 square yards, at $12,000. The board omitted this until a further study is made to determine the best answer. Also temperature control at $4,600 and renovating the boys’ and girls’ rooms by the Commons area, at $6,350. The renovation of the boys’ and girls’ rooms by the commons will include moving one water closet stall partition, raise water closet seat, add two grab.bars in both restrooms. Additional changes in the girls’ room would be to add a new stall door and lower the sanitary napkin dispenser to provide handicapped access and in the boys’ restrooms would be to lower the towel dispensor and one mirror. Arnold also stated that he had talked with the School House Planning and that they suggested that since Syracuse Junior High does have ramps available to serve the priority would be the high school. New Buses The board members reviewed bus specifications set for the 10 new buses the corporation will be buying. Included in those specifications was the alternate items of two suspension axles, five speed transmission and a heavier driver seat. The alternative items will receive separate bids. All bids for the buses will be opened at the October 9 meeting. Arnold also presented the board with the petitions for the bond issue for the buses purchase. He stated that this will be payable over the next three years and the existing bond will be paid off on January 1, 1980. The new buses are to be delivered by July 1, 1980. Each of the board members took home a petition for property owners to sign and there was a petition left in the corporation office. Claims The board approved the claims for payment but there were some large claims which did not pass board members approval. A claim for the amount of $7,912.96 was included from

Farm Bureau Co-op for fuel oil. Arnold stated that this will be for the full year. Another large amount was by Kosciusko County REMC of $4,478.59. The reason, as stated by George Gilbert, business manager, was the air conditioning unit used during the billing period. There was a large claim by Allisons Associates for complete testing and battery equipment, for special testing by Dr. David Robinson: The prodecure was state approved and is a state project. The total amount of the cliam is $7,220. In other business the board approved the recommendation for homebound instruction by Charlotte Cook, second grade teacher at Milford Elementary, to Brian Wilson, Milford. Wilson received severe bums in a gas heater explosion in June. The board also approved the recommendation of Karen Ball for maternity leave for the second semester. Her leave would be effective January 21, 1980. Arnold reported that the building trades, storage building went as iar as the state board for approval but was rejected due to the old cumulative building fund law which stated it had to be for classroom purposes and the board did not interpret the building as such. He stated he was in communication with the board and after some time was told that an interpretation of the new ammendment to the cumulative building fund law, the request could be readvertised and resubmitted and it will be approved. Arnold also stated there are 68 people enrolled in the Indiana University — South Bend college credit classes. The largest class was accounting with 42 students. The adult education classes will be starting September 24 and registration will be September 17, from 6:30-8 p.m. He also read a request by Carl Hadley and the bus mechanic for tire balancing equipment for buses. This equipment would cost approximately $2,600 and the money would come from the cumulative building fund, which includes equipment for the new buildings. After a discussion with Hadley, the board felt that in the long run it would save money. Also the board approved the financial report as of August 31 the unapproved minutes from the August 14 and 30 meetings and the certificates of payments for project number 6878 — Wawasee High School and for the Lakeland School Building Corporation, Kosciusko County 11. Indiana. In the certificates of payments.
