PLAINDEALER VOLUME 105 NUMBER 103 ...relocating the school superin­ tendent's office to quarters about half the size...but priorities are priorities and the Circuit clerk's office needs more space to operate efficiently," Buss said. ' The board approved the courthouse operations committee's recom-1 mendation to move the Circuit clerk's traffic division to the school superin­ tendents office and move that office into another office on the same floor, being vacated by the CETA depart­ ment, which is moving into the cour­ thouse plaza building. --"The move won't be convenient for the education department, but we've got to give it a try and not move it out of the courthouse. For the good of the county we must stay in the cour­ thouse." Buss said. It was suggested during Tuesday's County board meeting, that future space might be made available through conversion of the sheriffs garage to office space, but not in the near future. In addition to seating Edward Sch- weiger of Huntley on the McHenry County board to replace Dean Marlowe of District I. the County board acted on (Continued on page 18) to the school superintendent's office on the lower level of the courthouse. Two locations in Woodstock were considered for the education depart­ ment. However, because of the county's financial squeeze, the proposed $15,000 per year rental for outside office space prompted board members to vote against the proposal. "The traffic division is the current priority...it is desperate for space and it has to move from its present cramped location," Buss said.

This year's grant could have been $17,144. Projected cost to the district for the current year's program was set at $23,250. School administrators said that In UR past year, 30 students were placed in a tutorial program and 389 were handled for various periods in an in- school suspension situation. Total student days in the Achieve program were 1.113 days, it was reported. Judy Zid, chairman pro-tern for the night, expressed appreciation for figures on students served; otherwise, she said, people could claim the program was a big expenditure of money for expensive baby-sitting. Superintendent Robert Swartzloff noted that either funding could be picked up for parts of the program, such as $2,000 from PL 94-142 "flow through" money and reimbursement of $2,200 for a teacher aide position from special education funds. There was also money available from carry over money from the original grant and from a Youth Service Bureau project. Board members were advised that this would have been the last year of the ILEC grant anyway and they would have had the to find alternative sources of funding in the future to continue the program if that was their intent. It was also the last year of funding for the Simulated Employee Experience (SEE) demonstration project, Swart­ zloff advised the board, but they had Wicolvod * grant award of $M,960 from thfe state for the coming year. William Godshall, a local high school educator, will continue as administrator of the program for 11 months. Besides the McHenry high school, he helps to establish and oversee the program to other districts in the state that ask to participate. Personnel actions included approval of a year's (1961-82) leave of absence for Ed Beling, West campus English instructor, because of disability. Terminations included Carol Lohman, hired as an East campus business ed instructor for the coming year, but who couldn't make it here because of real estate difficulties; Judith Hemker, instructor for remedial reading and math at West; and Margaret Levit, (Continued on page 18) Cyclist Injured Former Beard*Members Act For New Hospital vices extended to thousands of area people in the 25 years the hospital has been in existence, as well as the hospital's more recent role of area trauma center.
