‘By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Staff Correspondent
At the regular meeting of the
Lake-Lehman School Board held
last Tuesday, the directors
approved a new three-year contract
i for the district’s teachers and serv-
| : ice personnel. Under the new con-
| tract, the teachers and the custodi-
ou ans will receive a six percent
w increase. Food service personnel
‘will receive a two and one half
percent increase. The contract also
calls for an additional 13 percent
increase in benefits.
The directors also approved a
recommendation to authorize Smith
and Miller Associates to draw up
bid specifications for the replace-
ment of the boilers at the senior
high school. Douglas Trumbower,
representative of Smith and Miller,
told the board the boilers are in
very poor condition. Trumbower
said it is possible to repair them,
but that, in his opinion, it would be
a waste of money since the repaired
to five years and then cost the
district more money.
Trumbower estimated the 22-year
old boilers could be replaced by a
modern system somewhere in the
range of $175,000 to $200,000.
School Director Ed Mark wanted
to amend the motion and bring in
another firm for a second opinion,
but his motion failed by a 5-4 vote.
Trumbower pointed out that there
are two opinions on the condition of
the boilers. One of these opinions is
from the Scranton firm which
installed and service the boilers.
Smith and Miller Associates were
then asked for an opinion which
firm.
Board president Joseph Jones told
Mark that this information had been
explained to the directors at a work
session which Mark had not
attended. Trumbower stated that
the architectural firm’s opinion
would not cost the school district
any money.
The directors also approved the
band request for their trip to Mon-
treal the weekend of May 11, 12 and
13.
