FILE SCHOOL TAX LEVY (Continued from page 1) related to a total valuation of $75,250,440. The rate is 2.586 which would realize, according to this valuation, $1,945,976.48. Because of uncertainties as to the actual valuation, it was deemed necessary to ask for higher amounts in some funds as stated in the levy resolution. However, it is not anticipated that the district will receive more than the $1,945,976.48 figure. Dr. Robert Boos, superin­ tendent, advised the board that preliminary hotice from Ed Becker, president of the Big Hollow board of education, indicated a negative vote by the Lake county board concerning the Planned Unit Development zoning requested by the Sullivan Lake area developer. The vote was reported to have been 21 to l opposed. This development would have af­ fected enrollment in McHenry schools. The action has not yet been confirmed. Transportation Director Glen Blank was present to explain bus procedures, including the card system which informs on the whereabouts of all bus riders. Each driver, he emphasized, has ten hours of training before he takes a test. Discipline problems, he related with satisfaction, have improved. Blank pointed out the procedure that is followed when trouble develops. On the first offense, the driver, principals and teachers confer; on the second, parents are called in and advised of the situation. The third time a student becomes a problem on the bus, he is expelled 'from three to five days and the family must provide its own transportation. Blank said that, fortunately, most problems are corrected before they become too serious. He added that there have been no repercussions from parents, who understand the system. Montini students are also given transportation, with primary center pupils riding the grade school buses and Middle school students taking the high school buses. Blank said the 1'2 mile distance outside of which students are required to be transported free by school bus is now measured from door to door. This has eliminated past problems. Since the transportation PAGE 17-PLA1ISDEALER-FRIDAYX SEPTEMBER 15, 1972 system requires cooperation between the grade and high school districts, Blank ex­ plained that the average Cost per pupil is figured and each district assumes cost of its own students through an exchange of money. District 15 approval is also needed before the plan is put into operation. Board approval was for­ thcoming for the purchase of a 1965 Chevrolet 66 passenger with Carpenter body from Kichert Bus Lines, Chicago Heights, and a 1966 Chevrolet 66 passenger wit£ Carpenter body from James Ruemelin, McHenry, each at a cost of $3,000. The purchases were necessary to replace the la£t two District 15 contracted busses owned by George Worts. Since the cost for the con­ tracted service would have totaled $10,912, the purchase price"is adequately covered in the budget. The board gave its approval to two resolutions for an ex­ pansion of time to bring Valley View and Hilltop schools up to Life Safety Code specifications. These will be sent to the proper state department asking an extension of time until July 1, 1973. Lack of sufficient money in the Building fund was the reason for the requested ex­ tension. The employment of two teachers was approved. They are Candace Fossum, to teach third grade at Edgebrook, and William Leafblad, vocal and instrumental music at Parkland and Hilltop schools. Elaine Hoffstetter and Leah Nuss were employed as teacher aides, the former at Hilltop under Title I and the latter at Valley View. Edward O'Connor was hired to work four hours at Landmark. Tony Piasecki was transferred from Junior high to Edgebrook and Herb Brossman from Parkland to head custodian at Junior high. The resignation of Fred Kemper as custodian at Edgebrook was accepted. The retirement of four long time teachers in District 15 was recognized through separate resolutions acknowledging their many contributions to the students. Those honored were Mrs. Susanna Marshall, 16 years in the district; Mrs. Edith Phillips, 17 years; Miss Myrtle Proctor, 16 years and Mrs. Mildred Reese, 24 years. Enrollment figures, with comparisons for the first day in 1972 and 1971, were revealed. Some surprise was expressed over the fact that kindergarten and Terese Sakuienzki for reclassification on from "B-l" B-2" property in Hickory Falls Unit 3, Wonder Lake.

Chairman Dean announces the appointment of five persons to the Board of Local Im­ provements, necessitated under the new constitution. They are Dean, James Raskow, county superintendent of highways; Richard Klemm, Nunda township, Phyllis Walter, Algonquin township, and Willis Simms, McHenry township, the latter three county board members. Asked why no one from District 3 was included, Dean explained why he had made his selection as he did. The chairman said he intended to remain on the board only until it was organized and processing well. At that time he will appoint a replacement from District 3. Appointment of the new board is the initial step toward implementing House Bill 1440 which provides for the im­ provement of subdivision roads by special assessment. The committee will hold a series of meetings to develop policies, procedures andprior- ities for processing local imp- . rovements for the many county subdivisions wishing to upgrade their roads. At a date to be announced, the committee will begin ac­ cepting petitions. Questions concerning local improvements should be directed to Rakow at the McHenry County Highway department. Action on one zoning request in this area was approved. It was submitted by Frank, Josef enrollment a year ago was forty above that of September this year. Fiske of the Department of Conservation was present at the meeting. He spoke briefly of 4he department's work and named the committee mem­ bers. McHENRY MISS STUDIES ABROAD (Continued from page 1) responsible for finding a home (usually more than one) for the student during the year abroad and also for an allowance for expenses. Kathi said she was looking forward to her temporary home at the foot of the Swiss Alps in an llth century town. Her host family is "known to travel, and the young American teen-ager expects to visit outside France, probably to Switzerland. The town of Charlieu is a three-hour train ride from Paris. Contemplating almost a year away from her home city, Kathi said she will miss her home and friends most, but expects the year to be so filled with new experiences that it will compensate for the loss of her senior year at West cam­ pus. Miss Longhway, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James G. Longh­ way, hopes some day to become a secretary or a teacher. Her father is a member of the Crystal Lake Rotary club, in which city he conducts his business.

Executive Director Kenneth Fiske said that during this year $176,766 will be spent from the General Purpose fund and $422,424 from Land Acquisition.
