Enrolment is continuing to drop. From its Peak of 8,900 four or five years ago the base for the 1978-79 school year is seen to be about 8,300 to 8,300. It was 8,540 on the official count Day last october during the Peak kindergarten enrolment peaked at around 800. This year it is seen As 525 the Homes in the most costly neighbourhoods of the school District seem to have the most pre school and elementary school age children Gallenstein said.

The drop in enrolment hit the element Arles first and for the past two years has been affecting the Middle school. Soon it will reach the High school level. The District has been trying to Cut Back teachers when possible. But enrolment must be significant in a Grade level to do this Gallenstein explained. This year two teachers and a half time of a third Are Cut. Loss of salaries is not a total savings to the District since state funding is Cut proportionally he noted.

Trustees Friday night said they had no interest in merely delaying the action by tying it up in courts. Trustees Tom Taylor and Bob Dorsey said that spending thousands of dollars of the township general fund to fight the action was not justifiable. Both indicated that if they did file suit they would want to win. To do tha t would mean going As High As the Ohio supreme court. Hiring an attorney specializing in zoning Apea is would be extremely costly especially if it meant having a new hearing. Trustees think that the appeals Board would probably win because trustees Case would not be As Strong since there is limited evidence of any irregularity in the hearing. Another reason for not going to court was the Lack of knowledge erf whether the Hamilton county prosecutor would represent the trustees. Trustees agreed with Cou Al Paul Schuch that the prosecutors office probably would opt Tor representing the county zoning appeals Board. Schuch said trustees could enter the Case As a Friend of the court if an individual files suit against the that Board. Expressing disappointment in the decision with the trustees were mrs.

He told trustees of the Independent research that group did and erf the number erf government bodies against the isue. R. Turpin Fischer Anderson Farmer with considerable Farmland who is a proponent of the facility later told trustees a i done to think the Board of zoning appeals is on trial. I hate to think that is the purpose of this he added he hoped trustees recognize they represent the entire Anderson township and not just a part. Trustee Dorsey said a suit against the Board a could be a test where appointed persons can in effect make zone changes. Both he and Taylor expressed sym Timathy for the residents erf Kentucky View drive. Dorsey said he had a a bit of a dilemma because he found it a difficult to be parochial on the Issue which he labelled As on of a township concern is. A regional concern.
