SCHOOL MEETING MARKED BY WRANGLE (Continued from page 1) children without danger.We feel there is no physical danger. It is a good situation, not ideal, but not horrible or , bad". "Is it a question of cost"? demanded Mack."How does it relate to the cost of picking up students within the one and one-half -mile radius which you have elected to do"? Board Member Robert Preston pointed out that the school does have the option of removing troublemakers from the bus. "There are kids on there (the bus)" said Gloria Mack, "and we all know who they are--I don't want them around my high schooler much less my first grader". "You are putting us on a spot we don't want to be in," said Ed Mack. "It is an in­ significant cost factor. We won't buy it! If someone gets hurt, how much is it going to cost per year to have an adult on the bus?" Dr. Ken Falkenheim stated it would be about $200. "Our kids are worth more lhan $200," retorted Mrs. Lehman. After further bickering, Mrs. Mack was asked if she would volunteer to ride the bus? Several emotional remarks were made about mothers having to volunteer for everything, and then she said she'd be "thrilled" if they would provide a ride back home for her. It was denied.

"I'll pick her up myself," she con­ cluded as she stormed out of (he meeting. Dr. Andreas attempted to soothe ruffled feathers by saying, "I see your point, but there is a ripple effect. We have the power to put someone on the bus if thfgFe is more trouble, but we rave to look at the scale of things. We can't put someone on every bus all the time. You have to set parameters. "Will you be responsible if anything happens?" asked Mack. "We wouldn't put 18 year olds with 6 year olds in baseball." It was concluded that the board would keep an eye on the situation and Dr. An­ dreas would put an ad­ ministrator on the bus at his discretion if problems persist,^ but an adult supervisor ° would not be hired at this time. Most of the parents got up and walked out at this point. In other matters, Dr. Andreas reported that a new state law has been passed that will reimburse the school for transportation of students having to walk on hazardous roads. The location of the high school gas tank was ap­ proved. Board member Sobiesk moved to use $1,000 from the contingency fund for plumbing for the tanks. It was also approved. Pete Stuckey, associate dean of instruction of Community Services, represented McHenry County college in a presentation of information on the proposed adult education program. Dr. Andreas said he felt good about the cooperation of MCC and its interest in providing seminars and courses to the public in local areas. Steve Pollock was named coordinator for the project. He felt that Johnsburg would be able to offer as many as 20 classes in adult education by the spring semester starting in February. Pollack said they would begin im­ mediately to canvass the surrounding community to learn about the interests of the people so a curriculum could be set up. Joe Bach representing the senior students, approached the board with a plan and a request for an outdoor smoking lounge for seniors. Kim Reese, Student Council president, reported on a poll taken at the high school on the question of a smoking lounge for seniors. Two-thirds of the school students and teachers participated in the poll. The votes were as follows: fresh­ man, 36 percent yes, 54 percent, no; sophomores, 43 percent yes, 57 percent no; juniors, ^6 percent yes, 54 percent no; seniors, 70 percent yes, 30 percent no; teachers, 0 percent yes, 100 percent no; overall 47 percent yes, 53 percent no. Ms. Reese said she felt the ge would degrade the school system and the Council did not support the issue. A great deal of discussion followed from all members of the meeting pro and con. Bill Hayes, high school principal, commended the seniors and especially Joe Bach for their maturity in handling this situation. President Boak said many things have to be taken into account and his concern was for the health and welfare of all the students. "I am concerned about the attitude of the less disciplined student. Will he say, 'He can smoke - I can smoke." Joe Kost of the high school press reflected on the positive aspects of student control over their own ac­ tions and favored a trial period for the smoking seniors. Since this is a major decision in policy making, the students and board felt further action should be delayed until the next board meeting because three members were absent. Some concern was ex­ pressed by Dr. Andreas over a second incident of a camera theft. "The matter will be handled ad­ ministratively" said Dr. Andreas. Bruce Harbecke presented the idea for a club in the junior high to arouse school spirit and participation in school sports. The club will be called the "J" club. The board approved the idea with the stipulation that no salary be demanded by the sponsors. The board went into executive session at 10 p.m. The results involved a government mandate on energy conservation, requiring a daytime tem­ perature of 65 degrees and nighttime of 55 degrees in seventh and eighth grade rooms as well as high schools. "We will comply," said Dr. Andreas. He also said they would set up a com­ mittee to study the stituation because the heating controls make it difficult in some areas of the schools.
