Chamberlain said the vote was irrelevant because Williams was contracted to be both busi- ness manager and secretary to the board. DeCesaris said the de- cision was sound. Williams no longer sits at the table with the board during meetings, but will sit near the front row and answer questions. Contracts fore the district's transportation providers still have not been written. Attorney Peter Savage, the district's solicitor, said the school board still had to re- view monetary concerns, and the contracts to both bus and van drivers would be generic, and in- clude minor revisions. The new formula for reimbursement from the state will not be issued until October. technology pla We need to have a ~ focused goal.” Angelo DeCesaris School director The bus and van drivers have been working with the district since the summer to arrange the contracts, and had hoped to have them completed before the school year started. The board voted to approve an audit of the district's tax collec- tors prepared by Bonita and Rainey, CPAs. The audit has cre- ated controversy because of an interpretation of a ruling made by the Pennsylvania School Business Officers organization (PASBO). PASBO’s lawyers have concluded that school districts are not re- quired to audit until the end of MAINTENANCE Dallas Nursery and Landscaping By Nick & John Stredny ¢ Since 1954 “From Rough Grade to Finished Landscape” DESIGN « INSTALLATION EXECUTIVE GROUNDS CARE FREEESTIMATES » FULL Y INSURED SCHEDULE NOW FOR FALL PLANTING MEMORIAL HIGHWAY, DALLAS 675-1152 RESIDENTIAL « COMMERCIAL * INDUSTRIAL on trees.

The audit cost the district about $6,000. Gary Miller, president of the school board, said the district acted based on the information it had at the time. The appeals to the ruling were still in the courts, and districts that didn’t have the audit would have to have it done if the appeal failed. Miller did not know how, or if, the district could recover the money if the court ruled the audit was unnecessary. Board members Lois Kopcha and Robert Allardyce voted against approving the audit. In other busi- ness: * Robert Roberts, interim su- perintendent of schools, an- nounced that no elementary school classes were above 29 stu- dents. e The district's average SAT score was 1028, better than both the state and national average. e The board accepted a pro- posal from General Roofing Sys- tems for repairs to the Lehman- Jackson Elementary school. The repairs will cost $1,200. * The board approved bids for the Ross Elementary School project. The bids for general con- ‘struction, plumbing, electrical, food service construction, and as- bestos abatement totalled $3,053,957. The bid for heating, # ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) was not awarded because of potential legal problems. The board voted to accept new bids for the HVAC work.
