If this money is cut, the district drops the programs because it can't afford to pay for them itself.” Better planning could direct more money to educational mat- ters, such as remedial classes, than to other items, she said. “This year the board was handed a budget and given a month to completely understand it,” she said. “Unless you're a mathematical scholar you need more time to understand the best way to spend $16 million - you must study it thoroughly.” Seeking his second term, McMahon has served on the trans- portation committee and was second vice-president, first vice- president and president of the school board. He won the Democratic nomi- nation in the primary. The parent of three children in the third, sixth and eighth grades, McMahon wants to continue improving the district's education. “We have made many improve- ments over the years,” he said. “We have more students than ever 1“gotng onl to technical schools and 4 colleges after their graduation 3 frofp high school: Lake-Lehman’s + senior class his the highest SAT }| stdres ever. We have also inducted 4 150 junior high school students +, into the Junior National Honor ¥ Society ~ the most in the district's po ' history.” : He wants to add more technol- 73 # ogy classes to the curriculum and expand the Tech Prep program, which prepares students for jobs or entry into technical schools, two-year colleges or four-year colleges after graduation. “We want to give the students a 1 foundation in the basic skills, 1dditional material available Sea Tad LOIS KOPCHA £ N through elective courses, and help RY RE-OPENINGy POSEIDON POOL’N SPA FACTORY OUTLET We Make it « We Sell it - We Quarantee It! ' them develop marketabie skills to prepare them for work,” he said. “Most of all, we must remain focused on what's best for our children.” Running mate Tom Williams is seeking his fourth term. He has served on all of the board’s com- mittees and was treasurer, sec- ond vice-president, first vice-presi- dent and president. While representing the district on the board of the West Side Vocational-Technical School, Williams helped set up a Tech Prep program there. “I'm proud of our district,” he said. “My children and I are all Lake-Lehman graduates. I feel we were well-prepared after gradu- ation for college and the world of work, which I believe comes from our faculty being very sensitive to the students. We have strong academic and activities programs, in which our students are very competitive and have become well- rounded.” In addition to the Knights foot- ball, volleyball and girls’ field hockey teams achieving many successes, many Lake-Lehman students have earned major ath- letic scholarships to college, he said. Lake-Lehman also has many advanced placement (AP) courses, a good selection of courses and what Williams described as a “superb industrial arts program.” “Our Tech Prep program gets better every year,” he said. He wants to continue the dis- trict's educational progress and explore grants, partnerships be- tween schools and local, state and federal organizations in an effort to relieve the property tax burden on the district's homeowners.

Kern, the first member of the taxpayers’ association to be elected to the board, has made no secret that this will be his second and last term. “I want to become more in- volved in political offices that are higher up so I can do more for the people,” he said. “I think that after eightyearsI'll get a bit stale. There are plenty of people out there who can run for office and have good ideas.” He wants to keep zero millage increases for the next four years. “We did it twice during the past four years — I know it can be done. It's in the people's hands. They now have the chance to change the majority of the board.” Kopcha called the present board “a clique. Some of them have been there for 14 years.” ~ “We want to take control,” she said. “The people need a break. They feel they have lost control and lost their voice in the system. They need to know it's their school and they're entitled to a voice in it.” The taxpayers’ association candidates’ goal of better commu- nication with the public is pos- sible by holding town-meeting style sessions to keep their con- stituents informed of school dis- trict developments. She also wants to keep a tighter rein on spending. Better schools, responsible budget In Region III, Karen Whipple won the four-year seat and David Kaufman won the two-year seat in the primary. “I'm very uneasy about people who are running for school direc- tor but don’t have children in the schools,” Whipple said. “I wonder what their motives are, I wonder if they have a private agenda or an axe to grind. It's so easy to sit back and criticize the schools when you haven't been there, working as chaperones or helping out at fundraisers. This criticism isn't healthy for the children or for education.” The mother of a Lake-Lehman graduate with two more children in the schools, she wants to con- tinue to revise and improve the VERRIER EDWIN KERN Cholesterol Screen Lakeside Nursing Ctr.
