The Lake County Board of Sub mission approved a plan to join First Federal Savings and Loan to implement a school savings program. Lacy Thomas initially opposed but withdrew after peers spoke in favor. Acting Superintendent Ray Hayes noted county supervisor Joe Jenkins, now hospitalized, backs the plan. A rep for the institution said teachers would need to pass out deposit envelopes weekly and handle funds, a practice already working in Sarasota.
