 X school inspectors, two of whom are elected each year for a three-year term, together with the mayor, comprise the Board of Education of the school district of the City of Lapeer. This Board has a separate and distinct corporate identity and is charged with the government and administration of all schools in the district together with the expenditure of all moneys raised or received, from whatever source, for school purposes. The Board serves without any remuneration. The Board of Education meets regularly once a month on the second Friday of the month and in addition special meetings are held as the need may arise. In order to make the work more effective the Board is divided into three committees, Buildings and Grounds, Finance and Supplies and Teachers and it is through these committees that the largest part of the business of the school is transacted. The present Board has seen the Lapeer High School almost double in enrollment. The Junior High School organized, new departments added, and the erection of one of the finest and most modern high school buildings in the state. The Board tries at all times not to be influenced by individual opinions or criticisms but to act for the good of the greatest number in its relations with parents, teachers and pupils. Made up of men from different walks of life and with different ideas and beliefs—politics, partianship or personal prejudices have never entered its deliberations. If this Board has had any measure of success it may be attributed largely to the harmonious relations existing among its members. PAGE NINE
