Ropp, director of the stat Department of Agriculture?

PLAINDEALER PHOTOS School Explains Important Role Of Supportive Staff To maintain a properly functioning school district, schools feel a supportive staff is needed. This group of professionals provide special services to students, and it is made up of psychologists, social workers and counselors. The members of this staff contribute their efforts and expertise so that the classroom experience of the student is more purposeful and better utilized. The psychologists can determine, through testing and observation, some of the reasons why students have difficulty in subject matter and social adjustment. The social workers coordinate the home and school activities so that a more comprehensive picture of the student results, thus, providing information which will help develop an educational program more suited to the student's needs. The counselor's role is multiple; that is, he meets with the student for various reasons, for example, he might discuss the strengths or weaknesses of a student. He might offer the student advice about careers or he may discuss courses that could benefit the student. vaEK'4 WHERES THE SALES CLERK ~y The members of the sup­ porting staff in District 15 are psychologists, Dave Utech and Nancy Hoopaja; social worker, Dennis Morimoto; and coun­ selors, Charles Schott, Sharon Cronkrite, Vince McHugh and Dorothy Kuta.

Starting January 1, 1972 your auto insurance policy will provide increased insurance protec­ tion, faster payments. The Illinois Modified No-Fault Plan, recently enacted by the Illinois Legislature, is a signifi­ cant step forward. It deals primarily with the way injured people are paid. (Property damage coverage is unchanged.) Here, in digest form, are five of the most im­ portant benefits payable to persons covered by every private passenger auto liability insurance policy in Illinois: O Everyone injured in a crash will be paid for hospital and medical expenses, regardless of who is at fault. Your insurance company pays you and your passengers; the other driver's insurance pays him and his passengers, without delay. The basic policy provides medical payments up to $2000 per person. 0 Every wage earner injured in a crash can be compensated for loss of wages. The new Illinois Plan provides basic benefits of 85% of wages lost (up to $150 a week maximum) for up to 52 weeks. © Every non-wage earner injured in a crash can be compensated for loss of services. The new Illinois Plan will repay the cost of necessary services for outside help (such as cook­ ing or housework), up tp $12 a day for up to 365 days. O Innocent parties will benefit from fast arbitration of small claims; the right to pain and suffering awards is preserved. In addition to basic benefits from his own in­ surance company, an innocent victim of an auto accident can file a claim against a negligent driver for additional damages. Where a claim involves negligence and is under $3000, the new Illinois Plan provides for fast, fair settlement by qualified arbitrators. Any­ one not satisfied with the results of arbitration can still go to court. The Illinois Plan provides an objective yard­ stick to measure pain and suffering in auto ac­ cidents. To provide equity and to eliminate overpayments which have helped force insur­ ance rates up, pain and suffering payments are limited to 50% of the first $500 in medical expenses, 100% of the amount over $500. There is no pain and suffering limit where injury or disability is permanent. © Every policyholder will be offered addi­ tional coverages, higher limits. Every insurance company will offer policy­ holders, at additional cost, $50,000-per-person- and $100,000-per-accident limits: medical ex­ pense, up to 5 years loss of wages, loss of serv­ ices, and survivors' benefits. All of the basic benefits of the new Illinois Modified No-Fault Auto Insurance Plan will be automatically included in every existing private passenger car policy on Januarv 1, 1972. * * * For more information, contact us.
