School Planning of Board of Education The Board of Education of the Moline School system determines the policies for the twenty-five schools in Moline. Included in this number are twenty grade schools, three junior highs, one sen- ior high school, one junior college, and MCC, the only city college in the quint-city area. Mr. M. W. Faust serves as president of the seven-man board. Since he was elected president, he has personalized his position on the board by making visits to all the schools in the Moline area to become better acquainted with the personnel. A wide variety of occupations are represented on the present Board of Education. Mr. Faust is Plant Superintendent of the John Deere Planter Works, Henry W. Parsons is an attorney, Richard V. Shrader is the Station Manager of the United Air Lines, Stoddard J. Small is the President of the Moline Iron Works, Calvin Ainsworth is Resi- dent Manager of Stifel Nicolaus Company Incor- porated, Ralph Johnson is an engineer with the General Electric Company, and John D. Morgan is an official at the Industrial Hardboard Sales Company. The Secretary of the Board of Education is Mel- vin Reynolds. He also serves as Assistant Super- intendent of Schools. Since a state statute allows only seven members on the Board of Education, the Secretary cannot be a member. To function effectively, the board is organized into two committees. The Business Committee is in charge of the financial affairs of the school sys- tem, the Education Group is concerned with prob- lems of curriculum. Members of the board meet every second Tues- day of the month at Allendale without any mone- tary compensation for their services. This year one of their major projects at MCC has been the letting of contracts for the razing of the Annex and converting that area into a parking lot. The Board of Education this year lowered the MCC tuition for non-resident students. The lower rates have been in effect for this past school year. School board members are planning for the growth of MCC in future years. Moline's City college will continue to grow under the guidance of the Board and Dr. Davis.
