The District 413 Board of Education elected Dale Fairchild as president and Dr. Earl Gehrt as vice president at Monday night’s meeting. The board received a single bid from Standard Oil for regular gasoline at 21.6 cents per gallon plus 7 cents tax. The bid limits usage to last year’s level of about 23,000 gallons and may drop if supply tightens. The board also revised its furniture purchase plan to include two Alcott units for a total of 8225 dollars. Title I funds of 61454 were approved with funding uncertain for federal money next year. Custodian raises were adjusted from 10 to 15 cents per hour. The board considered security sensors in the high school offices and will consult the police chief for suitable options. Budget review by Superintendent Fisher noted changes and an upcoming auditor’s review before finalized allocations. A radio broadcast permission for football and basketball games on KKOY was approved. Three teachers were hired: Fred D. Meier, Edith McGurk, and Martha Tiegreen. James Burke submitted his resignation as senior high custodian.
