gown! of Education 9 6064 dv am!! THE SEVEN MEN ELECTED to the school board are from different parts of our unit, which in- cludes Checkrow, Prairie City, Walnut Grove, New Philadelphia, and Sperry, as well as Bushnell. Coming from different areas and having varied professions, these men are able to perform their duty more effectively. This they accomplish by pooling their divergent ideas and then applying the result to the many tasks at hand. The school board has as its primary functions the selection of teachers, the determining of policy that the unit is to follow, and provision of educational facili- ties for children of the unit. The board also acts as a moderator in disputes between the school and the public and authorizes the purchase of all supplies. One of the greatest of the problems the school board has is finding room for the ever-increasing enroll- ment, especially on the grade school level. The board authorized a committee of citizens of the unit to study the problem and endorsed its recommendation that an addition to house the seventh and eighth grades of the district be built to the present high school. The prop- osition was submitted to a vote of the people and was twice defeated. Consequently, the Board of Education is faced with trying to solve the problem in another way.
