The Union Area School District announced last night that it has completed the final payment on Memorial Elementary, a 26 year old building, now fully owned by the district. Superintendent Paul Rowland said the district previously paid 29 000 annually, the last payment this year being 25 000, and any excess funds may help cover a 300 000 deficit. The board denied rumors that Scotland Elementary would close, and said a district wide audit by William G Eckles Co is pending next month to assess economical use of its buildings. The board also approved changes including no more personal leave, a 4270 17 horsepower tractor purchase, funding for high jump pit materials, tenure for Barbara Anton, resignation of Ann Jaworski, extended sabbatical for Jane Colley, added substitute Concetta McFarland, and three building use requests for church youth, a FFA basketball tournament, and a band spaghetti dinner.
