Thursday. February 14,1963 rnmim ' ••viAf: v -v THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER '"Pag® ThrM Harrison Board To Discuss Enrollment, Deficit Problems Discussion of Harrison School financial needs is set for Feb. 28 when board members and faculty hold a breakfast meeting with subdivision representatives within the school district. Other meetings, in addition to regular school board meetings, the next scheduled Feb. 26, may be held for benefit of the public. Expanding enrollment, possibility of classroom overcrowding in the near future, and an indicated operating deficit due largely to uncollected personal property taxes, pose major situations prompting the board to consider a referendum to raise the education fund tax levy. The current education fund rate 'of 96 cents per $100 valuation has not been raised for nearly ten years, during a period of community growth. An increase of 21 cents is being considered. Also discussed were ways to collect delinquent taxes through county officials. Supt. Merl F. Thomas has prepared data reflecting school growth in terms of space, staff, equipment and facilities ,and enrollment, as well as per pupil cost of educating children at Harrison and within the area. One comparative figure based only on educational funds shows a per pupil cost in the area ranging $248 to $860. On this basis, Harrison's per pupil cost is $310. However, including other funds and state aid as chargeable to costs, the Harrison per pupil cost yer year is more nearly $470, based on 1962 data. Enrollment Increase Enrollment has grown from 205 in 1954 to about 450 this year, the teaching staff from 7 to 16, with one and possibly two more needed. Classrooms also have been expanded from seven, three of these substandard, to sixteen fully approved. It is estimated the building can accommodate 500 students by reverting to some substandard space. These and other data, including a possibility of a $12,000 or more deficit before the end of the school year, are being presented for public consideration. The board also approved contracts which Thomas is submitting to teachers for the 1963-64 year. It is understood the only increases are those called for in contract salary escalation. The board approved a contract for Mrs. Donna Maris, third grade, to complete the year in the absence of Mrs. Anne Huevelman. Two teachers, Gordon Amundson and Roger Gebhart, have indicated they are moving from the community and will not return to the staff. It was noted that Feb. 27 is the first day for filing petitions in the April 13 school board election, with filing deadline set for March 23. Two three-year terms are to be filed. James Robison is completing a full term, and Mrs. Jay Hansen an appointment term. Install Name The name "Harrison School" has been installed, the letters purchased from a donation by the eighth grade graduating class of 1959-60. The board officially expressed its appreciation to members of that class, who are now juniors in high school. A commemorative plaque is being considered. Charles Cuda of McHenry high school, who also as athletic coach at Harrison, reported on the school's sports program. He urged greater participation of students in these activities.
