At this time, it has not been determined which of the three occupants was the driver of the car. Earlier in the day Friday, a Woodstock - woman was pronounced dead on arrival at McHenry hospital after the car she was driving collided with a school bus on Ackman road. Margaret F. Beber, 68, was killed when her car crashed headon into the school bus driven by Caroline L. North of Crystal Lake. According to the police report, the early morning accident was caused when Mrs. Beber lost control of her vehicle on the slippery pavement and slid into the other lane of traffic, directly into the path of the school bus. Police stated that the school bus had just started its route, and only one child, Ronald Lancaser, 13, of Crystal Lake, was aboard. Neither the child nor the bus driver, was seriously injured. TASK FORCE CONSIDERS STAFF REDUCTION AREAS (Continued from pag3 1) study cutbacks in the areas of facilities, staffing, support services, curriculum, and co- curricular activities. Each subcommittee will have the benefit of a school district administrator to act as a resource, not as a member of the.subcommittee. The administrator will be available to answer questions of the subcommittee, but will not participate in the final recommendations which the Task force members develop. Some of the possible areas of cutbacks which will be studied, including the projected savings to the school district, are as follows: Facilities subcommittee- Move to one four-year high school. This would result in savings of up to $200,000 per year in operational savings. After funding stops, move the alternative school to one of the present high school buildings. Presently, the alternative school is not funded by the school However, the school will begin funding of the program next year, and moving it to one of the present facilities would save an estimated $3,600. Sell East campus. This ap­ pears, to everyone involved with the school district, to be the ideal solution. All that is needed is a buyer. There does not appear to be a buyer in sight at the present time. The estimated cost savings of selling the school needs more study at this time. Study the effects of forming a unit school district, combining District No. 156 tfith Grade School District No. 15. The ' estimated savings of having a unit school district are not known at this time. However, a cursory examination would show that one less superin­ tendent would be needed, as would one less assistant superintendent. ' Staffing subcommittee---" Teachers could teach one extra class. This would result in an estimated savings of up to $100,000, by eliminating more teachers.' Presently, ap­ proximately thirty staff members will be released when Johnsburg opens its own school.By having teachers teaching more students per day, even more instructors could be eliminated. Decrease supervisory aides and require teachers to supervise one hour per day. This would save approximately $9,000. Presently, aides are hired to serve as supervisors in the commons area, and other areas. Teachers could possibly do this, although it would take away from their planning, and conference time Eliminate personal business days. This would save an estimated $6,000. Presently, the faculty at McHenry high school receives one day per year to take off with pay as a personal business day. Eliminating that day off would cut the need for substitute teachers, and would result in the savings. Eliminate teachers on an evaluation program rather than on a tenure basis. If only half of the teachers who were eliminated were earning $2,000 more than a teacher with less tenure, the district would save $30,000. This item was listed for the subcommittee to discuss. However, the school board took the matter under consideration itself, and decided that teachers would be dismissed via the seniority system ( i.e. the teachers with the least seniority will be dismissed first.) The school board felt this was the only fair way to eliminate teachers without allowing personal prejudices to enter into the final decision. Support Services sub­ committee--Eliminate one maintenance man. This would save $12,800 annually. Eliminate one nurse. Presently, there is a nurse for each campus. Dismissing one nurse will save an estimated $11,841. Eliminate the assistant superintendent. This would save $23,000 per year. Have only one principal for both campuses. This would save $27,000. Eliminate one music director.

Eliminating all educational aides would save $112,000. A reduction in the number would save something less than the $112,000 figure. Reduce the number of assistant principals. This would save up"to" $19,000 annually. Curriculum subcommittee- After funding stops, eliminate the alternative school. This would save the district $65,000. Reduce student course selection. Having each student take one less class would save the district $100,000, and has the same effect as having the teachers teach one more class. The number of teachers would be reduced, thereby creating the substantial savings. Eliminate , the data processing- program and the building trades program. On paper, this would appear to save the district $37,000. However, the district does get reimbursed for much of the cost of the programs through vocational education monies issued from the state. Increase student fees. If the book bill is doubled, $37,000 would be added to the district. Eliminate the alternative school director. This would save the district $17,000 an­ nually. Co-Curricular subcommittee -Curtail the athletic program and staff. The athletic budget for this fiscal year is roughly $60,000. However, receipts from admissions to games represents around $17,000. So eliminating athletics would save $43,000. Eliminate the position of athletic trainer. This would save the district $2,500. Make the position of athletic director a part-time teaching position also. This would save the district an estimated $6,000. What happens now? It's up to the various subcommittees to discuss these, and many other possible areas of savings. Their recommendations will be given to the school board on June 21, and the school board will make the final decisions on areas of cutbacks. DRIVER SERIOUSLY HURT WITH RETURN TO WINTRY ROADS (Continued from page 1) some slush on the roadway, causing his vehicle to swerve and skid. He further stated that he was unable to control the vehicle, and went off the west shoulder, knocking down two mailboxes and posts, and coming to rest in a ditch. Neither Vernon G. Stade, 4312 N. Pioneer road, McHenry, nor Ashley J. Granger, 3006 Mary lane, McHenry, was injured Friday when their two vehicles collided at the intersection of Johnsburg road and Riverside drive. Neither driver was ticketed in the collision, which caused an estimated $1,500 damage to the Stade truck, more than $500 damage to the Granger vehicle, and also damaged ten feet of guardrail belonging to the state of Illinois. Stade told police he was westbound on Johnsburg road at approximately 40 mph. He added that he saw the Granger car stopping to make a left turn, and started to brake his vehicle. He further said that his brakes locked and he skidded into the Granger auto. He then hit the guardrail. Granger stated he was slowing to make a left turn when Stade struck his vehicle in the left rear. April F. Haupt, 3311 W.

Eckel, Wheeling, and Jeffrey M. Blake, 806 S. Lilylane road, McHenry. Neither of the latter two drivers was injured, but both vehicles sustained more than $150 damage. Sagers stated he was west­ bound on Rt. 120 in the inner lane, talking to his passenger. He added that when he returned his attention to the front, he saw the Blake car's brake lights on. He further stated he tried to avoid the Blake car by turning his wheels to the left. He said he struck the Blake car on the leff rear side, then kept going into the other lane of traffic, hitting" the Eckel truck on the left front side. Eckel stated he was east- bound on Rt. 120 in the outside lane at approximately 15-20 mph, yielding to another driver who just entered his parked auto, when suddenly the Sagers car crossed the median, and contact was made. Blake stated he was west­ bound on Rt. 120, and was completely stopped, yielding to a vehicle in front of him turning left, when he was struck in the left rear side.
