Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 653-916 Review School Board Duties At Harrison I am the mother of three school-age children. Each fall I send them off to Harrison school and assume they will receive a good education in a modern, well built school with well qualified teachers and with various activities offered to suit their talents. I pay my taxes and am vaguely aware that the better part will be used for education. I am also aware that there is a Harrison School Board of Education, but up till now I've always taken this for granted, too. However, this year, this heretofore apathetic member of District No. 36, decided to find out a few facts about our school board. This is what I've learned. Our school board is composed of seven members. This past year they have been: Dr. S.L. Ruggero, president; J.W. Cristy, William Cristy, Maxine Bixby, Ray DeWerdt, George Street and Henry Setzler. Elections are held once , a year on the second Saturday in April; this year's date being Saturday, April 10. Three positions will be filled in this election. Candidates are in­ cumbent S.L. Ruggero, M.D. and Jay W. Cristy and seeking a first term are Theodore Dass, Jr., and Terry Biroschik. Meetings of the Harrison school board are held on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 8:30p.m. at the school and are open to the public. Some of the various com­ mittees of the school board are: curricular, finance, policy, and building. These committees meet at various times during the month when necessary, to formulate ideas and be ready to make recommendations at the regular board meetings. During building times, special meetings are frequently held. It was reported to me that as many as twenty-seven special meetings were held within six months time as the planning and building of our recent addition progressed. The school board is responsible for the function of the whole school. They operate as an extension of the public. They represent the people in making decisions about the school. They determine when the school year begins and ends, what textbooks are used, the school calendar, decisions on building and land purchases. They must see that all the bills are paid and that there is money to pay the bills. They hire all school personnel. They do much more. Robert Bright, as superin­ tendent of the school, plays a vital part at all board meetings. He acts as the "heart" of the school, bringing to the board recommendations regarding selections and retentions of teachers, budgeting, etc. The board takes action on the recommendations proposed and Mr. Bright carries back to the school the policies recommended by the board. Rumors are being circulated that salaries of the school board members ' are being doubled this year. The truth lis that these responsible citizens serve without compensation, putting in a great number of hours in deliberation before making any decisions. They, too, are tax­ payers and concerned as you and I are about tax increases and the proper use of our taxes. As representatives of the public they need to know the suggestions and opinions of the people. They are available. The meetings are open to the public. Now, there is something you and I can do. We can learn the qualifications of our candidates and decide who will best represent us in this important job. We can vote on Saturday. SUPERIOR RATING For the second year in a row now the Harrison school con­ cert band received a first or superior rating at the district band contest held in Gages Lake on Saturday, March 27. Those participating in this contest were judge by how well they played the music and ribt by competition. The concert band is now eligible for state competition which will be held on Saturday, April 24. WELCOME GRANDDAUGHTER Mr. and Mrs. George Janssen of Wonder Lake are welcoming a new granddaughter.

PAGE5-PLAINDEALER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL7, 1971 NEW QUACKERY soever governing chimneys on Attorney General William J. dwellings. Earlier, Scott issued Scott said this past week that a public warning throughout with the advent of the concern Illinois concerning the alleged HAPPINESS IS: FINDING WHATi YOU WANT IN THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER'S CLASSIFIED WANT1 AD SECTION TODAY !!!! for and laws pertaining to pollution, comes a new breed of quackery. This is the man who shows up at your door as an inspector of chimneys. After informing you that you are in violation of pollution laws, he puts you in contact with a man who can correct the sit­ uation. Usually the "inspector" is working to­ gether with die "workman" or may even be the same person. Don't be fooled. There are k no pollution laws what- Illinois concerning the fraudulent sales of lightening rods.
