PRESENT PROS, AND CONS OF SCHOOL DISTRICT (Continued from page 1) at the hearing were William Huemanrt, chairman of the Enrollment Trends committee; William M. Davis, Educational Program committee, » and Thomas Cahill , Financial Feasibili ty committee. Also presenting testimony for the petit ioners were Dr. Duane Andreas, superintendent of School District 12; Kenneth Falkinham. business manager of District 12; John Perry, an Ill inois registered land sur­ veyor, and Randy Swikle and Louise Worzala, teachers at Johnsburg Junior high school. Supt. Richard Swantz and Business Manager Michael Kelly of School District 156. appeared at the hearing to present the official District 156 reaction to the Feasibili ty Study. Swantz emphasized that District 156's response to the Feasibili ty Study was not to be interpreted as a formal ob­ jection. "District 156 has been responsible for providing secondary education for young people in this area since 1919. So the board views this with legitimate concern and a great deal of sensitivity to any kind of change," Swantz said He stated that questions and concerns regarding the study were being presented in four exhibits which would be en­ tered into the record. Swantz pointed out it was important for everyone to understand that this was being done for three reasons: 1 -In the concern for quality education for all adolescents; 2-In the interest of public information; 3- To assist District 12 if the unit is formed because he felt ad­ ditional information of value was provided in the exhibits. Swantz emphasized that District 156 felt the people of Johnsburg should ultimately decide on the feasibili ty of a unified Johnsburg district . However, he suggested that the voters ' decision should be based on a complete un­ derstanding of how both District 12 and 156 would be affected by the unification program. In reviewing the proposal, i t was suggested that smaller schools cannot offer as much variety in curriculum asTarger schools. Swantz indicated that the highly publicized Learning Management Special Needs program in District 156 could not be duplicated in a school with only 600 students. Swantz noted that currently 108 students from the John­ sburg district are being ser­ viced by the LMP (Learning Management program). The existing components of the program include learning disabilit ies, educationally mentally handicapped, behaviour disorders, gifted alienated, work experience career exploration, remedial reading and self-concept im­ provement. "If 500 students are removed from the school, i t is doubtful that all of these components can be maintained," Swantz pointed out. He said that presently Johnsburg students can select from a curriculum with over 250 courses while a smaller school could not expect to provide such a broad approach. District 156 compared the proposed facili ty plan with several other high schools of similar population and con­ cluded that in most cases, the space problem seemed to limit the instructional program in the area being considered. Also, unless the most costly plan is adopted, the new high school might not have an auditorium or swimming pool, Swantz noted. Business Manager Kelly reveiwed the financial calculations presented for the proposed unit district . He felt that a key question in this issue is whether or not the new unit could maintain the educational program. Kelly reviewed several financial charts in the Feasibili ty Study and pointed out various discrepancies and corrections. He also discussed in detail , income and ex­ penditure projections, operating tax rates, revenue projections and bonding power projections. , Kelly noted that with respect- to the financial influence of unification on District 156, after DIAL-A-DEVOTION Hear God's Word Wherever Y'ou Are.

OBSERVE HOSPITAL WEEK LOCALLY WITH PROGRAMS (Continued from page 1) Betty McKilJip, chairman of the program and staff development coordinator of the hospital. "Personnel in the health care professions and clergymen who attend the dying are warmly invited to attend this seminar, as well as all interested per­ sons We all must know how to help prepare the terminally ill , and how to insure that a dying person will experience this last great adventure in an en- 1981-82. a possible revenue reduction of $140,775 to $298,060 annuallv may be experienced becaus^of loss in state aid and in local taxes. Swantz also stressed that if Johnsburg left District 156, there would be significant cutbacks in program and staff. Approximately twenty to thirty teachers might have to be dropped ' i t ie cut in staff and in finances would result in program limitations. Possible program cuts were identified in the math, foreign language, science, business education and English programs. This ob­ viously will hurt the education which would be provided students remaining in District 156, Swantz said. He emphasized that District 156 would be dramatically affected by the loss of the Johnsburg students. The loss of 500 students would diminish the educational opportunities in the existing high school, Swantz stressed. "We .are not convinced that, given the assets and the student numbers, the new unit district could equal the curriculum currently being offered," he said. "We are genuinely con­ cerned that the curriculum not be diminished for the students we are now serving," Swantz concluded. Arthur G. Oakley of 222 Bunny avenue, Pistakee Highlands also appeared to present his objections to the proposed unit district .
