THE BOARD OF EDUCATION lhe Board of Education is composed of seven members. Each member is elected for six years and receives no salary for his services. The school board directs all the business of our schools. They are public servants, who try to keep the township schools in the best possible condition. Their most important duty is to maintain high standards in selecting qualified teachers, as well as providing for the health needs of all students. For the purpose of keeping all business within the law, as provided by the school code of the state, the board has the services of a solicitor, Mr. -I. K. Spurgeon. His advice saves the board much time and research. The board meets regularly the second Tuesday of each month. Special meetings are called many times when the affairs of the group require it. All such meetings are open to the public, and are very often attended by interested groups of parents. The board welcomes all visitors, and it is the duty of all citizens to know what the board is doing. The success or failure of our school year rests upon the shoulders of the school board. This group of men elect all teachers and coaches for our schools. All appropriations for new school equipment has to be approved by the school board. The present board consists of the following officers: President, William Hoak, Vice President, Luke Pattersong Secretary, W. Edmund Biererg Treasurer, John Livingston. The other members are Fred Bartock, George E. Fike, and Raymond Weaver. All members give their time willingly, and sincerely try to conduct all busi- ness in such a way as to benefit the greatest number of people. -9-
