The plan calls for setting . aside $1,000 for each campus to , be used at the end of the school •year for some type of recreational activity to be determined by the student government. During the year, an accounting will be made of the amount of vandalism at • ..each school and this figure will | ,,-be deducted from the amount ; ^designated for the student • 'activity. !..v Similar plans carried out in • "some other districts have ; Resulted in significant • >Jdecreases in vandalism. * Board members were in agreement that some effort .should be made because of 'extensive window damage this ^past spring. • Approval was given to submitting the district's ^ACHIEVE program to the state •for possible funding for the 977-78 school year.

' * It was announced that bids •-* are being published this week for boiler work at East campus. - To save water and energy, a " water heater will be installed. 4 Because of excessive rust, there will be water pipe in- * sulation in the same school. A suggestion that it might be « possible to secure the services of a retired boiler specialist to > spend a small amount of time supervising the boiler room at ~ East was set forth. The board extended its ap­ proval to recommended in­ creases for non-negotiated stipends for co-curricular, department coordinators and interscholastic activities. A review of the early retirement incentive program was followed by approval, and prompted a statement from Supt. Swantz that it could result in a substantial saving of money. Among objectives of the policy are these: To allow staff members to make individual choices on career options with financial support from the school district ; to maximize the talents of senior teachers; and to protect minority-group and younger employees from layoffs. Resignations were accepted from Sandra Betts, Math teacher at East; Linda Elliott, Health teacher at East; Tom Herziger, Media specialist; Jim Meeker, LMP teacher at East; Susan Richmond, LMP teacher at West; Connie Sanders, LMP teacher at East; Walter Scott, Building Trades teacher at West and Paul Jenkins, Industrial Arts teacher at East; also that of Supt.

New employees approved were Roxann Bradford, Louise Chapman, Ronnie Garrison, Chuck Popp, Sandra Flem- ming, and David Van Natta.

DRAW UP ORDINANCE FOR SCHOOL SUPPORT TP** (Continued from page 1) Ellerth for reclassification from **F" Farming to "R-2" Residential (multiple family) was denied because it was "in the public interest to maintain integrity of single family residential area". The petitioners had wanted to use one-half acre of land at 3703 N. Spring Grove road, at Johnsburg, to construct a five- unit, two-floor brick apartment building with three units. The approved request was from Commonwealth. Edison company, asking a conditional use on "F" zoning affecting property consisting of about one-half acre located one mile south of Richmond, on Tryon Grove road. The company plans to construct an electric sub-station to supply power to Richmond and to "firm up" pressure and increase capacity for additional supply to this- area. Construction is set for this month, with a completion date of May, 1978. It will also provide for the inclusion of a second transformer for future use.

The vote Saturday will be > held after the held residents af- extensive fected discussions on the benefits and drawbacks of incorporation. There was some difficulty in designating the corporate boundaries because of legal requirements. The land in­ corporated may not exceed two miles in area, and must be at least one and one-half miles away from the corporate boundaries of any existing municipality. An original plan had to be changed because a portion of the land was within the one and one-half mile limit of McHenry. Then, two landowners in the incorporated area decided at this time they did not want to become part of the municipality. Therefore, the boundaries were changed again. Finally, the matter came before Judge Roland Herr­ mann, who determined that.the legal requirements had been met. He then scheduled the referendum for Saturday. WATCH IT...
