Postal workers reach contract with wage and rate changes
The contract includes wage increases on March 21 1976 and November 21 1976 plus July 22 1977 with $250 and $600 jumps. A cost of living allowance adds a one cent hourly raise per 0.4 point CPI rise and layoff protection. A 10 percent boost to the postal health insurance contribution raises first class rate questions. Rates hinge on Postal Rate Commission decision and take effect within ten days of ruling, with a 13 cent cap on first class increases.

School Board expands agendas and handles personnel
The School Board approved making expanded agendas public after Bill Handrick moved the measure, saying it would boost audience interest, and the motion passed after debate on cost. The board ratified six employee resignations, approved one return from leave, and denied three parent requests from executive session. Mrs. Sherry Ford led concerns over transferring principal J P Dabbs to San Jacinto Elementary, with only Joe Cathey voting to deny. Gen Robert Ives of the Boy Scouts was allowed building use but not literature distribution or PA system use, due to federal rules. The next meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. August 18 at the district administration building.
