All three schools fail to meet state standards two towns that this is the last school year it can provide secondary school transportation for the two smaller school districts. Mrs.

LaBombard said written notice will be sent. Alburg had to stop the service because of overcrowding on its two high school buses and projected increases in high school enrollment, The Alburg board also elected Richard Baker as its new chairman replacing Henry Baker, who resigned last month. Camella Lamer was appointed to fill Baker's unexpired term on the board. for industrial arts, home economics, guidance and library services. The Alburg Elementary School has classroom space for home economics and industrial arts, but needs equipment and staff.

Isle La Motte and North Hero have no space and their enrollments are too small to justify hiring extra staff. "We are taking some planning action," Mrs. LaBombard said. "Further meetings are planned this winter. We're following this through immediately." She termed Wednesday's meeting as "a very good cooperative experience." The Alburg board also informed the other Attorney General Won't Rule on Godnick Committee to Focus on City Issues Nicholas Barone, who believes God-nick is using a city charter loophole in order to serve as both full-time mayor and senator.

City Attorney Robert Broderick has said the city charter contains nothing that can compel Godnick to leave the mayor's post. Godnick, elected to the Senate last month, maintains he can commute to Rutland from Montpelier until his mayoral term expires in March. He has said he will not run for re-election. Most alderman have adopted a wait-and-see stance, as Godnick will not assume his Senate seat until next month. RUTLAND An alderman's request for an attorney general's ruling on Mayor Gilbert G.

Godnlck's soon-to-be dual role of state senator and mayor has been denied. Deputy Attorney General Philip Linton said his office is "not authorized or entitled" to address issues arising at the municipal level. The only circumstances in which the attorney general would step in on municipal queries is when the issues are of "compelling urgency" or "statewide importance," Linton said in a telephone interview from Montpelier.

Sanders has scheduled a formal announcement ceremony for 11 a.m. Tuesday in the first-floor conference room at City Hall. Two faculty members are forming a committee at the University of Vermont to participate in the Independent Coalition, a new Burlington political organization.

Richard I. Sugarman, an assistant professor of religion, and Joyce Livak, an associate professor of agriculture, announced the UVM committee this week in a prepared statement. "It is clear to us that the unbearable burden resulting from status quo politics must be vigorously and imaginatively contested so that our city can once again be a dwelling place governed by and for the benefit of all its inhabitants," they said. Better pay for city workers, support of neighborhood schools and protection of the Lake Champlain waterfront against development "beyond recognition" are among the coalition's campaign issues, they said. "Our neighbors who work within the midst of the city must be able to travel to work without having to tax themselves with suburban beltways and high-rise parking lots," they said.

The two said they are eager to discuss the coalition with other UVM professors and others to make the organization "an instrument for progressive government in our city."
