one with Bette Worm voicing the no Board member Robert Donovan arrived late for the meeting which was adjourned at p.m and did not vote on the contract Don Kellogg a spokesman for the North Fond du Lac Education Association said this morning that district teachers are scheduled to meet Tuesday night to discuss and possibly vote on tion of the contract Approximately 20 electors from the district came to the open meeting which was scheduled to begin at 9 p.m but many were late and were disturbed that there was no discussion on the contract The fact that the board did not wait a few minutes before voting on the contract and adjourning was the cause for much of the anxiety Donovan said that he is considering resigning This is a kangaroo school board In the past we were always a board and waited five or 10 minutes before he said after the meeting Gordon Ford chairman of the Town of Fond du Lac also was in strong ment with the action I'm going to petition Agency CESA 13 to get us in the
