P pag = Unemployment (continued from page 1) word that the bill is unlikely to make it out of committee this year. “1 had a flood of letters from seasonal employees saying that they wanted the compensation,” said Jarolin. “There were quite a few sponsors of the bill until people found out how much it would cost.” Though he introduced the billin the House, Jarolin said that if the bill came to a vote, he would not necessarily vote for it. Jarolin said his support would be dependant on how much fund- ing the state could provide to reim- burse districts for the cost, and in the state's present economic cri- sis, it's unlikely any extra money would be forthcoming. “My position is if we could afford it, if the state could fully fund it, I would support it," said Hasay. “However since the state is not going to be able to provide the funding, I'm not in favor of it. It will cost some school districts an easy $40,000 that they don't have.” Mundy said she empathizes with the seasonal school workers be- cause to her knowledge they're the only seasonal workers in the state who aren't eligible for unemploy- ment. “I have a real concern about the cost to the school district. With the recession we all have to be con- cerned,” said Mundy. “I'm not going to take a position until I see the final bill,” said Mundy, noting that the bill may change drastically before it ever comes before her for a vote. Though this bill probably won't impact Lehman this year, Fritzen sees the proposed legislation as a symptom ofa larger burden Placed d upon school districts. “I used this proposed bill to ca attention to the problems of is: J school districts,” Fritzen contin- ued. “If the state mandates certain] programs, it should be sure tha they can be funded. The state might think that it can pass the costs or , to others, but in the end the public i will have to pay.” ; Mandates regulate school dis: 4 trict's activities ranging from i employment policies to who can build a district's school buildings School districts are prevented from furloughing teachers because of economic reasons. A require- ment that districts use contrac- tors who pay prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor can raise the cost of construction by a third. A recent mandate requires schools to provide health care benefits to retired employees. “Only 30% of the funding is coming from the state, but they're making 90% of the rules,” said Nagy. “I don't think they should eliminate mandates. I think more decision making should be done by the local school boards.” Hasay agrees. “I would like to see a lot of these mandates repealed. I would rather see the school directors exercise, their own judgement,” said Hasay,| noting that the Pennsylvania School Board's Association has] been pushing to have the man- dates on schools lessened. 0 “It's something that's going to have to be done. Each has to be debated thoroughly,” said Hasay. “You can't throw them all out.” Wilkes will present two one-act plays and an opera The Department of Music, Thea- ter and Dance at Wilkes University will present two one-act plays and a one-act opera on Friday, April 24, and Saturday, April 25.
