uuahu uf education The Board of Education of the Crooksvillc Exempted Village School District is the final authority for practically all decisions concerning the operation of the local schools. Since 1929 the Cnxiksville Schools have been entirely independent of the county school system and the county board of education. The Board’s direct contact with the schools is largely through the su-perintendent of schools who is the executive officer for the Board. The employment of all principals and teachers is made by the appointment by the superintendent subject to confirmation by the Board. The Board must approve all expenditures of money. A large part of the Board's responsibility is financial. For years the Crooksville Schools have been operated on a very limited budget. The difficulty is in spreading the funds to cover the multitude of needs of an institution educating over 700 children and housed in four different buildings. For the past six years the Board has been headed by Mr. N. B. Snell. He is the veteran member in Cnxiksville and has a record of length of service that is rather unusual in the state. He has served for over twenty-three years in the interests of the children of Cnxiksville. Mr. Snell is engaged in the coal business. He is active in the affairs of the local Methodist Episcopal Church and in the Masonic Order. Harry Watts, potter and farmer, is vice-president of the Board. He has four children in the High School and three that are graduates. He attended Ohio University. Edgar F. Grube has served twelve years as clerk of the Board and is the member most concerned with finances. He is a dispatcher for the Ohio Power Company and lives on Walnut Street. Paul Boring is completing his second term of the Board. He lives on North Buckeye Street and is head of the decorating department of the Crooksville China Company. Dclmer Htxips is the junior member of the Board as he will complete his first year of service this year. He was appointed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Ralph A. Cope last summer. He is a graduate of Crooksville High, Class of ’24. He is employed at the Crooksville China Company. N. B. SNELL HARRY WATTS E. F. GRUBE PAUL BORING DELMAR HOOPS
