Chairmen of the board. Mr. Jim Cahill Jim Cahill discusses current issues facing the board, while Mrs. Terry Schmidtgoll and Mrs Betty Kesling listen Many problems faced the school board since the collapsing of the grade school gym. Members of the board tried to determine what caused the gym to collapse, who was respon- sible, what kinds of repairs would be needed, and how to handle the fi- nances. The school board met and voted against the contracting of bus- ing and other services early in the year. Three members of the board have resigned. Janet Hanson, due to illness. Terry Schmidtgall, and Theta Williamson, whose term expired. The completition date for the grade school cafeteria and library is August 15. 1988. The school board members are hoping to have the gym complet- ed at the same time. Attending one of the many late Monday night board meetings were Charles Betts. Theta Williamson and Dick Scheibner Amy Mayer also served on the board, but wasn't present for a photo. School Board 7
