The duties of this public- spirited group, who receive no salary for their work requires a sense of justice as well as a knowledge of what is best for each school and its community. Acting as an advisory board, the members pass all appointments for positions in the schools upon the personal recommendation of the Super- intendent of Schools. At the regular meetings which occur the second and fourth Monday of the month all requisitions for the purchase of supplies, additional grounds, and any educational equipment, as well as the payment for these purchases is approved by the members of the Board. An important issue which was taken up and settled by the Board of Education this year was the salary adjustment for teachers, clerks, and janitors who are employed in the sys- tem. A forty-five dollar a month increase on the basic salary was allowed to the l945-46 contracts for all teachers, thirty- five dollars for clerks, and a twenty-five dollar increase for the city school janitors. The Board of Education planned its finances so that there will be money for the same salary adjustment for the future. l2

Under the direction of Mrs. Marion Bates, the Education Committee approves appointments for the teaching staff. With Mr. Charles Roe as head, the Business and Finance committee, handles the business affairs and budgets of the school sys- tem as well as approving the payment of any bills. The Purchasing Committee with Ernest Estwing as its chairman approves purchases of all educational supplies, coal, and insurance. With Mr. Thomas Nolan as chairman the Building and Grounds Committee approves the employment of custodians and makes arrangements for improvement and upkeep of the buildings. Keeping an eye on the coming post-war era, the Board of Education has been looking over suburban areas of the city with the thought of locating additional school sites. The 1945 budget has allowed 315,000 for the purchase of a site if a desirable location is found. At some of the meetings the establishment of a Junior College or some type of an adult college which might be maintained in the old central high school has been discussed. The Board has not, however, made any definite plans along this line, but has instead been of assist- ance to the City Planning Commission in their work of planning a better post-war Rockford.
