(Post Photo/Charlotte Bartizek) Dallas teachers say budget cuts were real reason for furloughs Post Staff The Dallas Board of School sectors will decide within 60 days whether or not five teachers were furloughed legally last summer. The school district has claimed that the teachers were furloughed because of program changes, while the teachers have argued that they have been let go because of budg- etary problems. State regulations prohibit local school districts from eliminating teaching positions for economic reasons. In the second half of the hearing for the teachers which begangcto- ber 21, and continued October 22, half a dozen teachers and depart- ment heads testified that program changes which resulted in five teachers being furloughed were not edueationally sound. The first night of the hearing belonged to Dallas Superintendent of Schools Gerald Wyecallis. The second night belonged to teachers. The five teachers who were fur- loughed at the Dallas School Board's July 8 meeting are: Cath- erine Wega, an English teacher; Mary Ann Storz, teacher of the in- school suspension program (DEAL); Carol Harding, a part-time elementary teacher; Margaret Schuler, a physical education and health teacher; and Paul Brown, a physical education and health teacher, as well as basketball coach. Harding withdrew her request for a hearing, to be replaced by Nancy Ferko, who was demoted from full to part-time status. Brown and Storz were called back to work over the summer to fill positions of teachers who are on leave. Schuler, Wega and Ferko are on sabbatical.

The lower end of Machell Avenue where the Carrolls live does not have municipal water service.

Democrat Raymond Iwanowski, 49, of Oak Hill will face Republican Ignatius Hozempa, 56, of Outlet Road.

Write-in candidate will win in Dallas Borough One thing is certain in this year's election for Dallas Borough Council; a write-in candidate will win. That's because recent res- ignations from the council have left one slot on the ballot open and whoever gets the most write-in votes will win that position. The vacancy came about when incumbents Bob Brown, Don Shaffer and Tim Carroll resigned in September. At that time, x candidates Bill Roberts, Marie Eyet and Bill Peiffer were appointed to fill the openings. Shaffer and Brown were not running for reelection, but Carroll, who was council president, was to be in office another two years, so his resignation created the hole in the The local Republican committee was unable to present a re- placement for Carroll's seat and the resignations came too late for others to have time to register their candidacy.
