Winner says that during her senior year of High school she had to use a sci- ence textbook that was missing pages and had to share an En- glish text with another student instead of having her own. “All we have ever asked of them is to provide a quality education. We feel every child needs a quality ¢ducation,” Winner said. “If we can’t afford to buy textbooks for the kids, how can we afford to buy 400 football uniforms?” t+ School board member Rose Howard supports the taxpayers’ resolution, “I agree wholeheart- ¢dly with the resolution. The school district is in a lot of debt. Between 70 and 80 percent of the budget is for the teachers’ sala- ries. We asked them to take a freeze last year around this time and they refused. They have re- ceived a lot from the district. It would be nice to see them give something back.” Karen Whipple, also a school board member, noted the board's “Te never seen, any uniort accept a takce-back but anything is possible.” Ed Kern School board negotiator unenviable position. “It ‘comes down to reality,” she said. “It’s something everyone would love to see, but it's not reality.” She went on to say, "I think the district is in a financial situation that it’s never been in before and I think the staff is aware of that. Lake-Lehman has never had a strike and they pride themselves on that.” Board member Lois Kopcha thinks the resolution is a good idea, but concedes, “At the very least, we're hoping for no increase. They're making a good salary. We're in financial straits.” Ed Kern, school board member and member of the contract nego- tiating team, said, “I've never seen - any union accept a take-back but anything is possible.” THE PERFECT SHAPE?
