CLARIFY LEGAL ASPECTS OF SCHOOL SPLIT (Continued From Page 1) were none that he could recall. It was his opinion that there would not be enough for the new district to gain .to make it worthwhile for the District 12 board members to create a problem. After some discussion;; there was an unanimous vote to approve proposed disciplinary measures for ' students while being transported on district buses. The approval included an amendment suggested by Althoff that the motion read that the proposed measures be for a period of ninety days, with a review at that time. The following recom­ mendations were offered to the board: Smoking On School Busses First offense: Five-day suspension from bus with transportation director notifying the parents; Second offense: Five-day suspension from bus with transporation director notifying the parents; Third offense: Five-day suspension from school with a letter to the parents from the dean. Gross Misconduct First offense: Conference with Dean and a note to driver; Second offense: Three-day suspension from bus with transportation director notifying the parents; Third offense: Three-day suspension from school with a letter to the parents from the dean. These offenses must have positive driver identification. In the discussion of the disciplinary measures, Transportation Director Richard Glawe reminded that it is a state law that one cannot smoke on a bus. The bus, he continued, is owned by the school so these rules should be adhered to the same as on other school property. Glawe said bus drivers have been urging him to get improved school support. Vern Peterson, dean of boys at East campus, noted that in the past, students have been suspended from the bus for a period of time, but not suspended from school for violations. The board, generally, ex­ pressed a feeling that disciplinary measures for the second offense should be stronger. A favorable vote followed. Explaining that it is a capital expenditure to be faced this year or within the next couple of years, the administration asked for authorization to seek bids to install new driver training simulators. On a roll call, the board was unanimous in its approval except for Neumann. It was his belief that money should be spent in other areas. "Some programs haven't gotten off the ground", he noted, "and I would rather spend there than on replacing something that is already there. If the present simulators meet state requirements, they can still be used". Supt. Richard Swantz responded with an observation that simulators cannot be experienced in a Driver's Education car. He stressed their value in driver training. At this point, Bartmann questioned, "If we purchase some equipment, does that lock us into one manufacturer?" David Mihevecj Driver Training program coordinator, explained that he has been approached by two salesmen so there must be two distributors, but he believes there is only one manufacturer now. The favorable vote followed with only Neumann in op­ position. Recommended changes in board policies as they relate to health provisions were ac­ cepted. However, some discussion was held before action was taken on suggested accounting changes. In the past, the board has approved all expenditures over $500. However, with incrteised costs generally, the bqgj^L approved increasing th^ amount to $1,000. That action came only after an objection from Edward Neumann, who said he felt approval of bills over $500 had never been a problem in the past and it was his opinion the board should be kept aware of expenditures. Neumann withdrew his ob­ jection after some discussion and the motion passed. Bartmann questioned the wording of another portion which stated that $2,500 could be expended with three com­ petitive bids without board approval in an emergency. An interpretation of the matter was given but Neumann ob­ jected again and said the board should be polled by phone. Some revision of this particular section took place and the motion passed, stating that anything over $1,000, even in an emergency situation, will be handled by polling the board,, An amended request was granted for Mrs. Mary Kasprzak, English teacher at East campus, to take a leave effective Nov. 26, for the remainder of the 1975-76 school year. She will be replaced by Miss Maralyn Isaacs, who comes to McHenry from Northern Illinois university with a Bachelor's degree. Early graduations were approved for two seniors. Both, it was learned, attended summer school, are "B" students or above, and both will go on to college. Jill Urbanski and Susan Stowell attended the meeting with their parents. Concerning Life Safety bond bids, the figure submitted by the Northern Trust Co. of the McHenry State bank was lowest and received unanimous approval. Maturities were listed as follows: 1976 -5.75 per cent; 1977 through 1980, 5 per cent. In the superintendent's report, the board learned that a fine girls' hockey team did so well that it came very close to receiving a bid to play down- state. A motion passed to send a letter of congratulations to the team. A similar letter will be sent to the boys' cross country team, conference winners. Following an executive session, the board acted to expel a West campus student for gross disobedience.
