Vie For County School Office r \ t EDWARD W.HALL Edward W. Hall of 536 W. Jackson street, Woodstock, now serves as assistant county superintendent of educational service region. He is a twenty-eight-year resident of the county. Hall has his Master's degree in school administration from Northern Illinois university and was a classroom teacher at Junior high school, Woodstock, from 1946 to 1959. He has been assistant county superintendent since that time. The candidate served on the committee to establish McHenry (ounty college and another to establish a Special Education district. He is a member of the Conservation Education com­ mittee. Hall and his wife, Betty, have two daughters, Susan Flaconer and Carol Hall, and four sons, Edward, Jr., William, Johir and James. Asked what he considered the major problems which will face the county in education, he responded: "The tremendous growth of McHenry county may well create problems for the schools of this area in the next few years. New school sites and school buildings and the increased costs of school operation will have to be financed. The property tax can no longer carry the rising cost of education. Methods of providing continuing education for disinterested students must be provided. These are his ideas for meeting the problems: "The developer will have to pay his share of the cost of education, whatever that might be. State and federal government must assume a greater percentage of the operation. The federal government must provide monies in general aid instead of categorical aid. We must revise our curriculum to keep the disinterested students in school. Programs must be developed to provide the opportunity for these students to learn a skill so they will be better prepared to earn a living". ROY E.JOHNSON, JR. Roy E. Johnson, Jr., of 108 Hickory road, Lake-in-the-Hills, a thirty-year resident of Kankakee county, has resided in McHenry county for the past two years. He is an educatipnal administrator, presently principal of MacArthur school, Schaumburg District 54, Hoffman Estates. Johnson has served small towns, rural areas, cities and suburbs as junior high teacher and department chairman, elementary superintendent, administrative assistant, high school superin­ tendent and educational consultant. In addition, he has actively participated in steering committees for special education cooperatives, junior colleges and area vocational centers. He and his wife, Carol, have three children, Laurie, in college, Brigitte, 12, in Middle school and Eric, 10, in elementary school. Questioned on the major problems in education, he said, "The most obvious problem is that of growth. The growth of new buildings, programs, students and staff is recognized by all. Better service to those already living here is a related need. Finances are a top priority problem. The local property tax cannot be expected to carry the major share of school district costs. Proper con­ sideration for persons on fixed incomes must be given to lessen the burden. Finally, there is the need to provide more opportunities for cooperation in education. Boards of education, parents, teachers, students, administrators and the entire community have a great interest in the decisions that affect them. Cooperation is the key. Johnson's ideas for meeting them are as follows: "Having served schools as superintendent during renovations and new building programs, and as an educational consultant in planning and managing growth, I believe that more people should be in­ volved in the planning process in the local schools. Long-range planning with local government boards is a must. County-wide leadership must be exerted to determine proper developer payments. Safeguards on local property taxation include fair assessments, sound financial planning and additional state fun­ ding. The superintendent should be willing and able to speak for the entire county needs. Long-range economy requires districts to cooperate in prpviding the necessary but higher cost programs such as special education, vocational and career education. Conservation Trustees Buy 5 5-Ac re Option The trustees of the McHenry County Conservation district have purchased an option for approximately 55 acres of land lying within the Piscasaw conservation area in Section 32 of Chemung township. The property lies within the flood plain of the Piscasaw river encompassing the junction of the west branch of the Piscasaw and Lawrence creek, north and east of Beck's Woods. The option was purchased from the owner, Darrell Diggins of Harvard, for a 90- day period for $1,200. The op­ tion price is to be determined by a completed appraisal of a pre-appraisal report which determined a purchase price range of from $800 to $1,000 per acre. / Should the seller determine that he does not wish to proceed with the sale following the completed appraisal he will be responsible for returning the cost of the option and paying for the appraisal as well. This is the second option recently purchased in the Piscasaw conservation area and is an effort by the McHenry County Conservation district to acquire land within this planning corridor designated by resolution on April 19, 1973.
