BOE Volunteers Time Being a board of education member was a difficult job. The board of education members did not get paid for their service. It was a voluntary position. It took up to one hundred hours of each member’s time in a year. A board member was elected by people residing in the voting district with an open position. The positions came up for election by these designated districts. A term for the president of the board was for four years. There was not a limit on how many times a member might be re-elected. Meetings took place on the second Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. The meetings were held all year, regardless of whether school was in session. There were five members, a president and vice president for a total of seven members. President was Robert Kittle and Vice President was Polly Bloom. A member could be absent from the meetings, but four need to be present to pass a motion. The members of the BOE for 1987-88 are: Robert Kittle, Polly Bloom, Larry Alley, James Ford, John Foster, Rebecca Sheilds, and Robert Zimmerman. The board of education members deserve our support and our thanks. Principal Robert Swigart is active at home junior high athletic events. Mrs. Leivian and Miss MacKay discuss library plans with the board. Marvin Sisk and Robert Kittle carefully review matters requiring board action. James Ford listens with other board members to what is being presented. 5
