PREDICT INCREASED SCHOOL COSTS » I , (Continued from page 1) possible. He claimed that he had said nothing about costs, but felt they could develop two four-year schools with their present staff. He also had said nothing about the desirability of bussing. Althoff noted that what was said six or eight months ago didn't make sense. Then he wondered that if bussing is such a bad deal for the 350 students now, it will also be bad for the 700 and they would probably want to eliminate it when they reach that point. Swartzloff pointed out the differences in facilities at the two.schools, better for sports programs at West and for vocational at East. Althoff then queried Swart­ zloff if he felt that in five years the school would require more facilities, to which the superintendant responded • yes, ultimately". Althoff then continued, "Then I foresee that you will end up with equal facilities at two four-year schools". Althoff also asked if it < wasn't true that the physical plant doesn't necessarily mean quality education, there are other factors. Swartzloff indicated that the "q«&tion was loaded", and noted that additional costs for the program would be inevitable. Board member David Behrud said that he recalled that the administration had predicted $50,000 additional costs, but no additional staff. Board member Paul Nitz inquired how they hired half a teacher. Member Judy Zid added that the whole staffing and facilities program is an iffy ball game, depending on who signs up for what, where and why; and the proposal was approved. In other staff related actions, the board approved the hiring of a full time social worker, aftc^ learning that the ad­ ministration had given up on obtaining 2-5ths of full time schtol psychologist in con­ junction with SEDOM programs and according to state requirements. The cost to the school was estimated at $4,313 after prorating the salary over present staffing and considering state reim­ bursement. The board also agreed to operate a self- contained learning disabilities program at District 156 for the cor#Rg year at an estimated savHs of $11,300 over the - •: 1 expense of SEDOM operation. The number of students in­ volved would increase from 8^ to 13, several of which would be coming up from eighth grade. The board approved ex­ penditures of up to $500 for advertising for the sale of the building trades house on Hanley Street and approved open listings with local realtors to sell it at gross price to be determined in executive session, (later reported as $79,500). Commission to be paid to the seller was set by the board at 6 percent. A proposal for net listing was discarded by the board (where the price is set and the selling realtor gets his commission over that amount). Two students from the marketing class explained to the board how they planned to publicize and display the house for sale, contacting local fur­ niture and drapery merchants for furnishings with credits and possible assistance on ad costs. Althoff noted that asking the merchants to help pay for the ads might discourage par- ticpation in the sales effort as they get hit for everything. He added that the whole sales process would be a learning experience for the students. In other business the board approved a proposal to take a cash settlement instead of property as a developer donation from Golfview Estates on Chapel Hill road. The amount would be deter­ mined according to a formula involving the proposed number of bedrooms for the acreage as - applied against the appraised land cost. These donations are determined under the county school site dedication or­ dinance policy, and the board was advised that final decision on any dispute over the amount would be by the County board. Resignations were accepted for a bus driver, two part time mechanics, the central office receptionist, and also for Ken Ludwig and Ken Swanson as assistant football coaches, all with regrets. The board approved the hiring of Martha Rudnick for two months as graphic arts instructor, Karla Hurley as clerk, Michael Sutulouich as bus mechanic, Wayne Coffer and Amy Smith as custodial aides and Bill Day as assistant boys' track coach. In addition to approving tenure for four teachers and second year contracts for eight teachers, the board, by resolution, formalized the dismissal of several part-time teachers. esent Aldermanic Candidates March 29 The McHenry Area Political Action Committee (MAPAC) will hold a forum to present candidates for the upcoming aldermanic elections to the public.
