The Dallas Post NEWS Friday, September 12, 2003 3 | eScience rooms still unfinished By TARA BENNINGER Post Correspondent LEHMAN TWP. —While it wasn’t on the agenda for the September 9 Lake-Lehman School Board meeting, board member Moderno Rossi, asked a recurring question; “Where do we stand on the science rooms?” Superintendent Robert Roberts confirmed that the sta- tus of the rooms is, “causing trouble,” with students having to take study halls in the cafete- ria and gym. “We are crunched for space...and the problem compounds daily,” he said. District architect Douglas Trumbower told the board that the rooms were torn apart in the first place to remove tiles, however when it was found that the rooms needed greater repair they were never put back together. Not only are the science rooms not completed, but the industrial arts rooms also are not at “100 percent working condition, yet,” said Roberts. The district has received a bid on the old Middle Level Building of $130,500, contin- gent upon zoning approval and other variances. District Solici- tor Attorney Charles Coslett recommend that the board seek clarification on the bid, saying it was “pretty vague,” or seek a zoning change on its own. The board requested Coslett look into a zoning change, which Coslett com- mented, “could make the prop- erty attractive to more bid- ders.” Roberts told the board that several teachers had ap- proached him requesting field trips. However, he told them, “There is no money for field trips, this year.” He added though, that that certain groups, such as special educa- tion, must be approved for trips. Board member Charles Bal- avage reacted to the apparent inequity. “Under this system, average kids lose,” he said. Oth- er board members agreed, say- ing they did not want to take trips away from special educa- tion students, they just didn’t see the fairness in the policy. Roberts reminded the board the budget they approved did not include any money for field trips. Board member Jim Mahon requested the cost of each field trip taken last year be submit- ted to the board. Business Man- ager Kathleen Williams said it would be difficult to come up with those figures because each part of the trips is paid, “piece- meal.” Under the budget field trips will have to be paid for entirely by the group taking the trip, ei- ther through fundraisers or by those attending. The next regular meeting for general purpose will be held on Tuesday, September 23, at 7:00 p.m. in the music room of Lehman-Jackson Elementary School.

Lorraine Hawk, a membersofithe com-« mittee responsible for the com- ing up with the idea, responded modestly about the number of pies entered so far. “A lot of them (entrants) aren’t even calling, most of them will just bring the pies the day of the festival,” she said.
