r Vt.l I' -1'1 MM1I AI.KH . KRIDAY nKV-IJMBER 17.1982 REORGANIZATION OF changing, he observed, from what was once a farming society, to an STUDENT ASSIGNMENT industrial society and finally now an information processing society. IN JOHNSBURQ (Continued from pog* 1) five years ago, a condition true in the county and other areas of the mid­ west, he noted. Live births reported in the local and area hospitals had in­ creased 20 percent. Andreas also indicated that while the needs were increasing in the lower grades, they were lessening in the upper. As a result, staffing changes were deferred until the picture is complete. No additional hiring is contemplated at this time and teachers will be reassigned as needed. Andreas predicted that, if finances and the voters permit, Ringwood may accommodate kindergarten again in about four years. It is to be moved into Bush elementary school this coming year, since they will add another section of this class. Andreas Said there wer£ several underused rooms in the Johnsburg church street complex. But in about four years the projection is that most space there will be filled with the prospect of using ihe stage in the junior high for some classes and some crowding of physical education facilities. Andreas notes that in four -years they plan to have second and third grade in Bush school, fourth and fifth in Middle school and sixth, seventh and eighth in Junior high. With a projected decrease in the junior high population, some of the fifth graders could be moved next door into the unused junior high rooms. With the gain in enrollment, Dr. Andreas pointed out, the board has to look into the fiscal picture, to see whether money will be coming from state aid or elsewhere. He believes the tax multiplier will no longer be a source of increasing funds, and the interest income from investments of school funds has dropped along with , all other interest rates. <"Next year looks like a lean year." Andreas noted ruefully. About a more positive prospect, Dr. Andreas said the curriculum is being changed to work in. computer skills and related studies. The workplace is He said they expect to change and open up the classroom pods in the lower schools and work in computer equipment and classes. The school district was fortunate in acquiring considerable equipment from the still high income on in­ vestments during the past year which was not used on other educational needs. The administration expects exciting things from these programs, Andreas concluded. STUDY METHODS OF FINANCING DAM REPAIRS (Continued from page 1) dues structure will "bankrupt" some subdivisions. Coumbe believes assessed valuation provided by a special taxing area would be more equitable and lead to a higher collection rate. 0 "I feel so strong about it, I'm willing to pay the $500 myself," Coumbe said. "It should be pursued." According to Dale Yung, deputy director with the Illinois Department of Revenue, a special service area requires approval by the McHenry County board. After the boundaries are drawn up and submitted, a public hearing is held, It will be considered unless 51 percent of the voters and 51 percent of the property owners oppose the measure via petition. Yung added no referendum is required. A motion was passed unanimously, calling for the officers of the WLM- POA board of directors to investigate the measure further. The $500 was withheld, at least until all non-legal contacts could be made FOLLOWING A 4-H TRADITION (Continued from Bob and Steve purchased 40 acres of land in Wisconsin at $100 an acre. They used money from their work in the family electrical business in Woodstock to make the purchase. Much of Susan's focus has been in the areas of public relations, public speaking and writing in connection with forestry. Mrs. Thompson reminisced on her early years in 4-H as she commented with enthusiasm, "I'm so pleased they (the three children) had a chance to participate in 4-H". She remembered how, as the oldest of seven children, her future as a college student was uncertain. "Grades were important to me", she recalled, "and I'm glad they were pr I would never have made it through college'. As Charlotte Hogan, she received her Home Economics degree and later taught in the Richmond, Hebron and Woodstock schools. This is a truly 100 percent 4-H family and no one is prouder than Grandpa and. Grandma, John and Ila Hogan, of Richmond. MUSINr ^NDj MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) average rose above D-plus in only two terms. This school's academic progress standard requires at least a C average by the end of the school year, which should have made him ineligible for more than $9,000. The General Accounting office investigated records of 5,800 students at 20 colleges picked at random. About 20 percent of student aid recipients had less than a C average and 10 percent had an average lower than D plus. Since most colleges require a C average as a graduation requirement, it is obvious that the "good standing" required by each school of higher learning is often relaxed of just not enforced. / Action by legislators from both parties has been introduced to curb this abuse and ensure thpt financial aid is targeted to needy students who are serious and responsible. Under the plan students have one year to develop study habits and establish an academic record. Those failing to establish at least a C average are given an additional grading period to bring up their average and still receive federal aid. Those who don't make C averages during probation would be dropped from eligibility. There are provisions for special cases but the message is clear for the average student who wants help. He has to buckle down and take his education seriously. The good news of this proposal is that it might mean more than a billion dollars that could be re-directed to other students. Even better news is that no new bureaucratic steps need to be added - only verification of a student's scholastic standing. Education is costly to taxpayers. Education is also important. Most of us who spend our money will be satisfied if we are assured that federal aid would benefit every serious student and maximize the potential of every student dollar. KAF Invitation To Choir "Messiah" This Sunday, Dec. 19, the Faith Presbyterian church senior choir will present Handel's Christmas Messiah at both the 8:30 and 10:45 services.
