Walnut High Reinstates Several Teaching Posts After Referendum
Walnut School board restored five part time teaching positions at Walnut High School totaling 62140 of 134000 in cuts from last fall after a tax referendum passed April 4 adding about 106000 to the education fund. Earlier actions included reinstating a two time math post with Susan Stamberger and a 14 time home economics post under federal funds. The football program, weight program and several clubs were adjusted or dropped, while the industrial arts role remained cut. The district also limited Whiteside Area Vocational Center attendance to seniors and discussed potential co curricular fee charges.
