Page 8 - PLAINDEALER-HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1.1W5 AIRPORT IContinued from page 1) corner of McHenry County, con­ sidered the center of the service area, which extends from south Walworth County to the northern tier of townships in Kane Countv. Phase I of the airport study, now completed also showed a demand for a county airport that could handle small corporation jets. Donahue said he expects to report back to the airport commit-" tee by the end of May, at which time the committee will narrow the group to three for a more detailed analysis, including en­ vironmental considerations, ex­ tensive evaluation and public in­ put through public hearings. Those steps are pre-conditions for the next phase, which would be an application to the Federal Avia­ tion Authority for a grant to ac­ quire land and construct an air­ port. ~ Ninety percent of the funding for a county airport would come from the federal government, with money raised through taxes on jet fuel and airline tickets. DISTRICT 15 View libraries to their gyms and cafeterias -Moving fifth graders into both junior high schools -Placing all fifth and sixth graders at McHenry Junior High and all seventh and eighth graders at Parkland. -Purchasing or leasing mobile classrooms to be placed at the individual elementary schools --Purchasing demountable classrooms. Eleven parents and teachers made statements to the school board relating to the letter and building planning. - Most parents promoted the concept of a middle school for fifth and sixth grades, citing maximum use of space, segregation from older seventh and eighth grade students and academic resources as ad­ vantages. Others expressed the opposite view because of uprooting, students from close-to-home schools and the possible tem­ porary nature of the move with further uprooting. A need for long rapge solutions was emphasize^: A representative of the Edgebrook Parent Teachers Organization asked the school board to em­ ploy the talents of professionals to make a long range study to see future needs. Board President Arthur "Tee" Newbrough told the audience tbe board appreciated their interest and support in helping tio the right thing for the children of District 15. "We have your names and will seek y6ur support in the future," he added, citing a possible referendum long range. "There will be a SEX ABUSE however, answered "No" to the application's inquiry as to whether or not he had a criminal record, according to Susan K. Bentz, assistant state superintendent and secretary to the Illinois Teacher Certification Board. Although there are some safeguards to screen applicants such as a reference requirement and interviews at the district level, there are no procedures for reference checking on state teaching license applicants. The Illinois Certification Board does, however, have a file of both in-state and out-of-state individuals who have had their licenses revoked. But despite the existing safeguards, Goebel's prior convictions were not made known to the state office, according to Bentz. "We certainly depend a lot on the truth­ fulness of the applicant," Bentz said. The Illinois General Assembly is looking into the problem of keeping sexual molesters and other criminals out of the teaching ranks, and there are currently bills circulating in both the House and the Senate which address the issue. One of the bills, introduced by State Rep. Lee Preston (D-Chicago), Would require FBI criminal backchecks and even fingerprinting for all school personnel, including non- ceritificated employees. In addition, Preston's (Continued from page 1) bill would require this procedure for school employees every five years. State Sen. Cal Schumeman (R- Prophetstown) has introduced similar legislation. However, he proposes that the backgound check and fingerprinting be done only at the time of applications Although McHenry Regional School Superintendent O.C. O'Hara agrees that schools need to be made better aware of em­ ployee histories, he does not think finger­ printing is necessary. Athorough background check at the time of application and better communicaxipn is his preferred solution. "I think the best thing to do is have any court convictions of an individual reported to a regional superintendent or the state office - one, or the other," O' Hara said. Wolter agrees that better communication with legal authorities would help the current situation. "Our feeling was that we felt very bad about it and hqpe that the state does something to avoid this in the future," Wolter said. "We need a linkage between the police and the teacher certification board." "State certification is what we went by," he said. "That's kind of like the seal of approval. But we were unaware of his past record of criminal acts." Read and Compare Labe ls "Bargain" twine isn't such a bargain whelft knots are breaking.

It's an exciting opportunity for you or people you know to take part in the education of your children. It is a sorry state if too few people apply for the positions," he said. The group was urged to return in one month when the advisory committee „ recommendations will be presented. One parent addressed an unrelated subject, that of hiring possible child molesters. "What has the board done to protect our children?" she asked. Dr. Farmer responded that at present, he has no knowledge of a source to check out criminal records of prospective em­ ployees. He indicated that references are checked and the administration will seek methods to protect children from the threat. "You cannot ask if a prospective staff member has been convicted of a < felony. It's a legal problem and a legal question."
