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.

Hawk, a membersofithe 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.
