SECTION 1 - PAGE I - PLAIN DEALER- WEDNESDAY,; MAY It, 1984 District 12 school board adds objections to sludge permit request by Carol A. Stevens ' A resolution was passed by the *Johnsburg School Board notifying the Illinois En­ vironmental Protection Agency (kEPA), the McHenry County Board, McHenry County department of Health, Town­ ship Boards and any other af­ fected lawmakers of its op­ position to granting permits for Hillview Farms proposed disposal within the county. . The resolution added to those of other citizens groups to request that the IEPA retain the McHenry County Board of Health to effectively test and monitor present sludge disposal sites in the county. . The resolution was the result of a lengthy discussion at the previous board meeting, during which board members discussed Jthe current situation with Hillview Farms. Some board members questioned whether this action was appropriate for the school board to act upon in that it seemed to be somewhat political because they said it did not directly affect any existing school properties. Ken Schaeffer, who had at­ tended several of the town meetings on the subject, felt that while it did not immediately affect the school district, there was a possibility in the future that it catfitl have an affect because the proposal concerned acres of open farmland that surround several of the schools .in the district. Also, because the board is required to be con­ cerned with the health and welfare of the children in the area, passing a resolution such as this would be in keeping with board policy. It was then suggested that a resolution be drafted and sub­ mitted to the district's lawyer before being approved by the board. In other action, because a number of. financial Institutions in the past few years have either closed or had merged with other financial institutions, Business Manager Pat Bingman has performed a financial analysis- of several area banks and recommend to the board that five banks be used for school depositories: LaSalle National Bank in Chicago; McHenry State Bank, The First National Bank of McHenry, and Wonder Lake State Bank, all in - McHenry; and Springfield Marine Bank in Springfield. The last bank has been ap­ proved by the Illinois School District Liquid Asset Fund Plus (ISDLAF), to anew the in­ vestment pool, specifically designed for school districts. Bingham mentioned that more information will be forthcoming on the ISDLAF plus at future board meetings. The board approved the five banks chosen. 1 McHENlY ^I > JH IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE OPENING OF 2 NEW OFFICES* FOR GENERAL DENTISTRY Hi * fl m tH Iki:,;- / j A discussion was held regarding the pros and cons of seat belts in buses. There is a bill that may go into law requiring seat belts in buses, and studies on the subject have not been conclusive. In the event of a bus over­ turning, seat belts will hold the children in their seats, the board commented, but they may not be easy for the children to get out of and members of the medical profession reportedly feel that the use of lap belts may cause internal damage in the event of an accident. Board President John Heidler stated that persons cannot be in a "risk-free society" and he felt that further studies of the situation must be conducted before the board can make an effective decision on the matter. The board voted to allow Rich­ mond High School students to attend calculus classes held at Johnsburg High School because of the unavailability of the classes in their own school. Also approved was the establishment of the last day of school as May 31. Board member Kenneth Lund suggested that 'plaque be put up in the high school honoring those teachers who have been with the high school since its opening five yean ago. He stated that he has talked with members of other school districts and has found that it normally takes a new Ugh school 10 to 15 years to run as "smoothly" as the Johnsburg High School is running now. He felt that that was due to the "dedicated efforts" of the teachers, who have worked there since the school's opening. He recognized that there are many more teachers who have been hired since the school's first year who are equally dedicated, but thee is "something special" about the first year. The board offered its congratulations to the many Johnsburg students who at­ tended the recent Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) Skill Olympics in Springfield. Approximately six to eight hundred students were entered in the competition. In diesel mechanics, Todd Knoll placed third and Dennis Norton placed first, which will allow them to compete in the National Skill Olympics in Louisville, Ky. at the end of June. TTiere were 10 other John­ sburg students who placed in the top 20 in such contests as diesel mechanics, small engine repair, commercial art, commercial sewing, machine drafting, and auto mechanics. In another subject, Steve PoUock, head of the vocational department, commented that, "A Ford tractor is as handy as a pocket in a shirt." The com­ ment made was in regard to a tractor which the district now owns,but which is currently in need of repairs. An offer had been made to buy it and Pollock wanted to know whether the board wanted to sell. Pollock fett that it could be used as a project for a future vocational ed class and would be useful for the district. It was the consensus of the board not to sell the tractor at this time.
