To hire night watchman for WHS

Don Arnold. Lakeland Community Schools Superintendent, was given the go ahead by school trustees to obtain a night supervision watchman for Wawasee High School. The decision was made at Tuesday’s meeting. Nov. 13. Arnold stated the administration felt since there will be a lot of activity in the building during the winter there is a need to have someone as a floor walker to answer questions and keep an eye on what is happening. The supervisor should be hired for approximately 16 weeks and would work four hours each evening, Monday through Thursday. When a night supervisor is hired that person will be under the supervision of Henry Smith, high school principal. The hourly wage for the supervisor has not been set, although the projected rate is between $4.50 to $5.50. This new posistion will be a trial situation for a year to see how it works and the board will be looking at monthly reports from the night supervisor Arnold remarked the idea was obtained when another school corporation similar to Wawasee called and asked how Wawasee was handling the supervision of various activities during the evening hours. He also added there is beginning to be some vandalism but he cannot say if it's connected with the evening activities or from other times. The board also reviewed the mileage allowance for teachers and administrators required to use their personal automobile for corporation business. Currently the allowance is $.14 a mile and after reviewing 20 other school’s mileage allowances the board raised the allowance to $.16 a mile, effective January 1.1980.
