« / PAGE 10 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1979 SCHOOL LEADERS RELATE AFTERMATH OF TAX VOTE (Continued from page 1) year, but they hoped to finish it during the summer of 1980. The architects should complete the plans for U»~ifeeded work in the next couple of months in time to solicit bids for a con tract before summer Dodds noted that most of the work consists of rehabilitation of electrical, lighting, and air circulating systems The plan on installing more energy ef­ ficient lighting, he said. Dodds said that there is also major rehabilitation work required in the kitchen, which hasn't been touched since 1947. There is only one serving line which is awkwardly placed they also want to update and revitalize the boys' and the girls' locker rooms and gyms, in addition to much ceiling work. Dodds noted that with $2 million being spent they would like to see something for it. but most of the systems on which they are working will not be seen. However, a new paint job will show and all the work should bring up the quality of the school, he added Swartioff noted that many would have doubts aboi^Wthe East campus building, that older is not better. But the building would be brought up to standards and he emphasized that is some respects it would offer more than the West campus which has more space for physical education ac­ tivities including an auditorium and a swimming pool East does have more classrooms, science facilities and vocational training areas. Swartzloff said the curriculum is being revamped to equalize offerings at both schools. Greg Johnson, principal at West, said they presently of­ fered some courses at both buildings, causing some overlap. They now wanted to get appropriate sequencing and upgrade the vocational of­ ferings at West. Johnson said that maqy students were not getting marketable skills. However, this was not going to be emphasized at the, expense of art or science curriculum Available courses would be publicized and students could select courses for vocational training or preparing for college. Equalization of op­ portunity would require some transportation between buildings, Johnson noted. A parent asked the distribution of cost on the Life Safety work and what was the state's share. Swartzloff replied that the state paid no part of it, but it did make the decision on what had to be done and authorized the levying of money for the Cost of the work as if a referendum has been passed, he said the $2,035,338 consist^dof $1,661,500 for the modification work on East campus, /fl74,458 for the ar­ chitects and engineering fees and $199,380 for a 12 percent construction contingency furicl. When some parents com­ plained about the attendance boundaries and wondered why they couldn't be made to coincide with those of the elementary school district's junior high areas, it was ex­ plained that school size and population source patterns did not compare. Frances Larsen, board member for .District 15, said she didn't understand why they were going into the two 4-year schools when it would only be for a short time "Why not wait for a few years and see if they need a new school," Mrs Larsen asked. She also asserted that every other athletic event should be held at East as well as plays and musical events. Another parent said there was some speculation about a future site for a another high school and also wondered about the present decisions if there was going to be a third high school School officials replied that was another reason for abandoning the 2-2 system. There is no way that would work with three schools. Swartzloff said that a reason for the proposed demographic study is to determine if they should buy land or not, so that is why they are talking with realtors and developers. He added that if Johnsburg (high school split off) didn't happen, they would have been in a bad predicament. The open campus was the only way they could accommodate all the students in past years. Another parent deplored the decision to spend money on East. "Just think how nice a new school would be in two or three years." Another parent asked about the young people, commenting, "Everbody keeps taking things away from them. How can they establish lasting friendships? How about bands, swing choirs, choruses and marching band­ s"" School officials said there would be two complete programs, one for eacli building eventually, although something like a marching band might draw from both for awhile. Several other parents con­ tradicted this view, asserting that the kids will adjust to the changes. Parents should be supportive and not say that children don't have to make the changes, they asserted. Some observers claimed there probably would be more complaints from the parents than from the students af­ fected. In answer to a question about air conditioning for East, Dodds said that it was believed to be too costly. A woman said she had read in the newspaper about a dead air space in the school that presented a fire hazard and it frightened her. Dodds acknowledge the need for fireproofing the pipes which ran through this space which he said was directly under the room in which they were meeting. Dan McNulty, board member of High school District 156, commended the people who turned out for the meeting on this cold night with their concern for education. He noted that even if the board did nothing after the referendum defeat, they still would have to spend some money on Life Safety im­ provements. And he rationalized that the school improvement would serve to revitalize the East campus area community. He said the hard school problems of the community were evidence of its growing pains.
