Gayhead parents seek solution to 'overcrowding' WAPPINGERS FALLS Parents of fourth grade children at Gayhead Elementary School are seeking a solution to what they say are overcrowded conditions In the school's four fourth grades classes. Representing the parents, Mrs. Carol O'Malley, who has a son In the fourth grade, presented a 157 name petition to the Wapplngers board of education at the public workshop meeting at Myers Corners Elementary School Monday night. The parents have suggested three possible solutions to the overcrowded conditions they expect In the fifth grade at Gayhead in the fall: hiring another fifth grade teacher, hiring a "floating teacher" to work In all of the fifth grade classes, or hiring an aide for the fifth graders. The board accepted the petition from Mrs.

O'Malley but took no action on it. Mrs. O'Malley said two of the fourth grade classes at Gayhead this year have 34 pupils and the other two have 35. According to school board Presl John Lesco John Lesco, 63, a former resident of Poughkeepsie, died March 11 at Broward General Medical Center, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He had been living at 1622 Dixie Highway in Fort Lauderdale.

A resident of Florida for 27 years, Mr. Lesco was born in Poughkeepsie on Oct. 6, 1916, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Lesco.

He had worked as an accountant with insurance underwriters. The Rev. Richardson HOUSTON (AP) The Right Rev. J. Milton Richardson, a long time supporter of the ordination of women and bishop of ttie Episcopal Diocese of Texas for 14 years, died Monday at age 67, 2 Dutchess legislators want minimum 5 budget reduction Two Dutchess County Republican lawmakers want County Executive Lucille P.

Pattlson to aim for a 1981 county budget reduction of no less than 5 percent. James Pagones, Fishklll. and Mad dison Sipperley, Red Hook, are calling on Mrs. Pattlson to institute "target budgeting" where. Instead of asking departments fo submit a budget proposal, she assigns a budget total and tells them to submit a plan to fit that total.

In a resolution to be offered to the county Legislature in April, the two Republicans noted that "the people Dutchess demanding lead LaGrange to close road for tree work' FREEDOM PLAINS One end of Sleight Plass Road will be closed during working hours on weekdays starting Wednesday of this week so that the LaGrange Highway Department 'may cut down several trees along the road. Highway Superintendent Wallace Porter said the trees are all on the east side of Sleight Plass Road and the closing will be from Acorn Drive to Overlook Road. The work will take about a week, he said. Porter said school buses will be allowed to travel on the road, the one exception to the closing, but they may have to wait a short while. Volunteer executioners may be sought CHICAGO (AP) Illinois citizens may be asked to volunteer as executioners if death sentences are to be carried out on any of the 22 men on the state's Death Row, says Illinois Corrections Director Gayle Fran ten.

Although there has been no legal execution in the state since 1962, Franzen estimated Monday that Illinois Is within a year of finding out whether its reinstated death penalty actually will be carried out. The pen alty currently is being reviewed by the oourts. He said most of the details for resuming executions have been set up, but he Is still undecided on who should have the responsibility for pulling the switch on the electric chair. In most states where capital punishment Is In effect, he said, either a prison warden, a corrections department employee or a private citizen Is used as an executioner. From page 9 dent Lawrence Gribble, 35 Is the maximum class site for grades 4 through 6.

He said many of the classes In the 14 school Wapplngers district now have 34 or 35 pupils. "As a former teacher," Mrs O'Malley said, "I know how difficult It Is to teach. It has been a very frustrating year." She said she has volunteered to help teach, taking over a creative class of fourth graders which meets in a hall at Gayhead. "We can't find a quiet corridor," she said. Mrs.

O'Malley said she has no complaint against the teachers. "We think the teachers are doing as good a job as they can under the circumstances," she said. Gribble said the size of classes such as In the fourth grade at Gayhead was a major concern at the February budget workshop. Two reports were presented to the board at the workshop, one from Theodore (Ted) Sherman on the special allocation for library books, and one from Clinton Hoffman on an alio cation of $150,000 for buildings and grounds: Sherman said the first year's allocation for the library books (In a planned five year, SISO.OOO a year program) has been very successful. He said the district allocated $82,552 In the first year for Improvements and $67,448 for maintenance.

He said $35,230 still has not been spent In the 1979 80 year or earmarked for expenditure. He said it Is a process of picking up $5, $10 and $15 items, not of making large expenditures at one time. Both children and teachers, as well as librarians, have been very enthusiastic about the program, he said. Clinton Hoffman, supervisor of building and grounds, substituting for Business Manager James Sigler, told of the expenditures for such Items as smoke tone doors, roof repairs and other needed Improvements throughout the district under the 1979 80 special allocation of $150 000.
