Board of Education Top row: Mr. Harry Phelps, Mr. Charles Bar-tram, Mr. W. S. Clifford. .Second row: Mr. Theodore Warren, Miss Viola Deuress, Supt. M. S. Mitchell. G A small business like body capable of discussing matters in a simple and direct manner and to transact the school business expeditiously, with the interests of the schools uppermost, is the group of people who direct the Ashtabula city school system. This group meets on the first and third Tuesday evening of each month to carry on business for the schools. Selection of board members is made every two years for a term of four years. Three are chosen at one election and at the next election two more are added. Present members elected by ballot are Mr. C. H. Bartram, president; Miss Viola Deuress, vice president; Mr. Harry Phelps, clerk; Mr. Theodore Warren; and Mr. W. S. Clifford. They meet to determine the length of the term, vote taxes, select teachers or appoint a committee to do so, and then turn the control of the schools over to the officials. The board employs one hundred and sixty-one people yearly. Under the supervision of the Board the West Street athletic field was graded and the bleachers were put on concrete bases which raised them two feet. After school had begun, some very constructive C. W. A. work was carried on. The schools that benefited are Park Street, Division Street, Chestnut Street, West Street, Columbus Street, anti I he high school. Desks, chairs, tables, window-sills, and woodwork were varnished. The walls were painted. Membership of the Board has from the beginning been selected with distinct reference to the varied and weighty responsibilities involved. There are many problems that come before the group such as the selection of a superintendent, the selection of new school sites and the approval of plans for new school buildings, the determination of the annual school budget, and the tax levy. In many respects membership on the school board calls for a higher and more intelligent type of community service than is called for on any other local board. The service to the community and to the State rendered by a broad-minded and progressive school board is of such importance that it cannot be overestimated.
