Cypress School Rehires Full Time Staff for 1982 83
Cypress Elementary School District 64 re employed all full time personnel for the 1982 83 year. One part time remedial Title 1 position, three hours daily, was cut citing possible funding reductions next year. Ruth Ann Wolfson and Lois Baranski were placed on tenured status. The district approved continued participation in the JAMP Special Education Cooperative with a $9,289.71 contribution. Eighteen district students participate in JAMP programs. Superintendent Larry Grove was named district representative to the JAMP board and elected vice chairman. Bus bids were tabled due to the elimination of the 12th month July state aid payment in June.
