BOARD OF EDUCATION The Old Fort Board of Education meets the first Monday night of each month. The problems for these men to solve become more complex each year. A cup of coffee, rolls, and doughnuts help much to stimulate and sharpen their think¬ ing. Besides the Board of Education’s monthly meetings this year; additional meetings have been held with Green Springs Board of Education and Bettsville ' s Board of Education. Due to the Purdy Report reorganization is being considered. Mucy repair work and equipment have been bought this year. New tables and chairs were placed in the study hall to replace the old desks. The same was done in the Language Room, Science Department, and Commercial Room. A trampoline, wrestling and tumbling mats and lockers were bought for the Physical Education Department. All Equipment Purchases and Capital Improvements for the school year 1966-1967 cost approximately $28,385. About $5, 000 of this will be paid from Capital Improvements. Old Fort School Community has been very loyal in supporting the decisions of the Board of Education. For this the members of the Board are grateful and appreciate your trust in them. Each Board Member and the Clerk devote many hours and thoughts willingly and freely to try to make Old Fort School one of the best schools in Seneca County. 6
