The center will serve from 500 to 600 students in grades nine through 12 in the senior high school. The board approved the request of Wilma Schierer for sabbatical leave for the first semester of the 1989-1990 school year for the purpose of travel. - The board also approved by a unanimous vote of 7-0 the notifi- cation intent to retire at the end of the 1989-1990 school year from Mary Jesse and from Calvin Kanyuck.

A request to grant sick leave of absence for the 1989-1990 school year to John Miliauskas, contin- gent upon the understanding that Miliauskas would not seek or enter into gainful employment during the normal working day was ap- proved by a 6-1 vote with director Robert Emery voting no. A request to accept the retirement resigna- tion of John Miliauskas effective June 30, 1990, was approved unanimously. Directors Edward Mark and Dr. John Presper were absent.

Candidate (continued from page 1) Lake-Lehman parents understand learning disabilities. Eleanor Miller stated that hav- ing given 25 years to education in helping others help themselves, and currently working in an edu- cational program of 275, she de- cided she had the expertise toshare with the district. She said she was concerned that only 55 percent of Lake-Lehman students were re- ported to continue their education after graduation and that only 25 percent of these attended a four- year school. Kenneth Williams said that he served on the board from 1971 to 1983 and he felt that his 12 years experience might be of help to the district. He said he wanted the best education possible for stu- dents without hurting the taxpay- ers. Mildred Sue Dobash explained that she was interested and a concerned taxpayer with a child in the Lake-Lehman School systém and wanted to become involved in the future of all children. Since she is employed in the management field, she knows the importance of setting and achieving goals espe- cially in contract negotiations. Mrs. Dobash said she is a good commu- nicator. ; Joseph “Red” Jones said he is seeking reelection because his eight years of experience should serve him well since he has been objec- tive in keeping the interests of the taxpayers in mind and at the same time keeping in mind the interests ofthe teachers and students. Jones also said he is concerned about the problem of overcrowding in the high school. Martin McMahon stated that he is willing to accept the fiscal re- sponsibility which is important to the district. He served on the Jackson Sewer Authority for three years. McMahon also said that his major concern is the rapid growth in the population of the schools. All of the candidates have or have had children in the Lake- Lehman School District, although Miller said when she first moved into the area she had concerns about the district and sent her older son to Wyoming Seminary. In answer to a question con- cerning parent-teacher confer- ences the candidates agreed gen- erally that it was not easy to coor- dinate such conferences due to the hours parents worked. They all agreed that if a conference was requested by a parent, a teacher should try to arrange one. If the district could afford only 15 students in a class, the candi- dates agreed it would be an ideal situation but the number is de- termiend by the financial condi- tions of the district. The candidates had varying ideas about the proposed increase of five mills in the budget. Dobash said if the five mills are needed for education and the overcrowding problem, she would have to be in favor of it. McMahon said if neces- sary he could live with three mills for the building fund and two mills . for a reserve account. Williams and Jones said if more classrooms were needed, they were not in favor of modular ones since they do not last and Miller said she wanted what was best for the children. All of the candidates were in favor of sex education programs in the school district since not all children are taught at home, but the candidates indicated they would like to know what courses would be taught before their an- swers were definite. Other questions of less impor- tance were asked of some of the ° candidates after which Kinney - urged all taxpayers to exercise their right on Election Day and go to the polls and ‘vote’! a8 Deleurs Your One Stop Shop” Fireplace and Chimney Experts BUILD — CLEAN — RELINE — REPAIR SOOT . . .
