Board ok's $178,000 for repairs to schools Band sponsors, principal clash on fundraising By JENNIFER JUDGE Post Correspondent LEHMAN - The Lake-Lehman School Board voted unanimously Sept. 10 to spend $178,000 to repair the high school gymna- sium roof, repair boilers in the Lake-Noxen Elementary and in the high school, modify the un- derground storage tanks at Lehman-Jackson, Lake-Noxen, and Ross Elementary Schools, and to restore pavement at the high school. Board member, Lois Kopcha, urged the board to "make a motion to table this until we can discuss these things.” Architect Doug Trumbower, urged the board to award the con- tracts because “we can have in- clement weather overnight.” Trumbower went on to say that if the board awarded that evening, “there won't be a stone turned until October.” Board member Rose Howard reminded the assembled group that the board had voted to have the high school pavement patched just two years ago. Trumbower responded by explaining that the pavement patching project is “a never-ending project” and that the district will have to patch next year and the following year. Money for the repairs will come from the district's general fund. The general fund will be replen- ished through borrowing at a later date. ; After a heated debate during the board's work session, Bill Metzger, president of the Band Sponsors, withdrew the sponsors’ request for a concession stand at football games during the regular meeting. The board was willing to allow the band to set up a stand as long as they agreed to not sell the same food the Football Boosters already sell at the games. The board cau- tioned against a set-up that would encourage competition between the two groups. John Oliver, high school prin- cipal, reminded the board and the Band Sponsors that he, along with past principals, has “worked very hard to establish “fundraising equilibrium.” Oliver went on to say, “there is a finite number of dollars out there,” and warned of “turf wars.” Chuck Boytin, a member of the band organization, said the band is required to be at many sports events but is told, “You can't do anything for yourselves.” He re- minded Oliver and the board that 'Lake-Lehman band brings pres- tige to the school. Oliver told the Band Sponsors that it was up to them to either, “chart new (fundraising) waters or cut back on spending.” Oliver asked why he was “leap-frogged” in this matter, saying that as prin- cipal, it is his job to supervise activities. During the regular meeting, Metzger apologized to Oliver and withdrew the Band Sponsors’ re- quest. Metzger said, “We'd rather not step on anybody's toes. We'd rather work it out somehow and keep unity in the school.” Also during regular session, the board accepted a list of substitute teachers, coaches, and substitute cafeteria workers. The board awarded raises to support staff members to reflect increases in minimum wage. The board announced that the district will be holding an auction on September 28 behind the Lehman-Jackson Elementary. The items being auctioned off in- clude furniture and typewriters and other items that are either obsolete or unused. The items up for bid will be on display from 9 a.m. until the auc- tion begins at 10 a.m. Ray Bowersox, School Board Secre- tary, said the auction may gener- ate a few dollars or several hun- dred. The school board also an- nounced that a new scholarship will be awarded to a Lake-Lehman student. The scholarship is in the name of Betty and Karl Search, but no amount will be announced until the estate is settled. Karl Search was a former custodian and Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds for the district. DeRojas is tops in national FBLA Alma DeRojas, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Juan J.
