JOHN JACKSON Treasurer D. DELOS DEAN Secretary F. O. HERSHMAN President OUR SCHOOL BOARD The Rensselaer City School Board meets once each month on the first Tuesday throughout the year. The big problem of the Board is to maintain the best schools possible with the money that is available for the 700 students that are enrolled in grades one to twelve. ... , Schools in Indiana are limited by the amount of taxable property within the corporation. Children over the state benefit equally from the State School Sup- port funds (Income Tax). Inequality in education lies in the difference in the amount of taxable property per capita in the various corporations. The School Board can maintain no better schools than the amount local taxable property will permit. , . . . The big problem of the Board falls into two parts; namely, maintaining the progress already achieved, and planning future improvements. This year a new fluorescent lighting system, and new water fountains have been installed in the Primary building. In the High School, the industrial arts shop has been remodeled and new eguipment has been added including drafting tables and metal turning lathes. The greatest problem in maintaining progress already achieved has been that of meeting increased costs of operation with income that has not increased in the same proportion. T , The members of the Board are Mr. Hershman, President; Mr. Jackson, Treas- urer; and Mr. Dean, Secretary. They have all given of their time unselfishly that the social problems of our city might be solved. Page 6
