Fredrickson recommends conducting a feasibility study aimed at determining whether or not the Junior and Senior High programs should be switched. In conducting such a study, all staff members would assist in the study and if that alternative is not feasible other valuable informa tion or recommendations would be forthcoming. For instance, the school district faces a $525,000 maintenance problem in the 1922 addition of the Senior High. Something must be done to accommodate problems in mar section ot ine senior Mign School. Dr.

Fredrickson's proposed a plan where he would conduct the feasibility study at a cost of $7,500 (not including ex penses). Upon completion of the study Mr. Roy Stark, school district architect, would develop preliminary drawings and cost estimates for whatever plan the Board of Education deemed ad visable. His cost would not exceed $10,000. The Superintendent indicated that these monies are included in tentative 1976-77 budget estimates and are not subject to cost control.

They would be considered a part of the school district long range facility study which follows the state legislative mandate of Chapter 121.02 (13 standards). Motion by Wayne Schultz seconded by Jim Talbot to proceed with the educational specifications study and follow up of Mr. Stark with preliminary drawings and cost estimates. Lester Voigt made a motion to amend the original motion by tabling the original motion until the August 4, 1976 Board meeting. The amendment was seconded by Vivian Borchardt and carried unanimously on a roll call vote.

Multiply Handicapped Facilities As per Chapter 115 any child residing in the school district ages 3-21 must be provided an education. Frank Roskos, Director of Special Education, indicated that he has searched for rental facilities to accommodate the Earlv Childhood and Multiply Handicapped Program. His efforts nave not resulted in a location ot facilities to fully accommodate these programs. Where facilities may be available, rental costs win approach $5,000 per year. The house of Merrill can provide a 44x28' two level facility, including all plumbing, heating, landscaping for aDDroximatelv $36,000.

Lincoln County Bank will provide tunds at 5 interest on a leasepurchase agreement spread over a ive year period. In this way the school district can receive state aid on the facilities which will include up to 60 of the cost which is not available under a rental plan. Motion by Harold Edmund seconded by Elmer Kahre to enter into leasepurchase agreement with House of Merrill and Lincoln County Bank was carried unanimously on a roll call vote.

He said mass immu-l nization was a waste of money that could be better spent on otner preventive health pro-4 grams, and that vaccine should be stockpiled instead. The government said that im munization from stockpiles couldn't be done fast enough to cut off the virus spread if it reappeared. Vaccine doesn't produce antibodies for two to three weeks and swine flu ill ness can't be confirmed for one week at the soonest. Most flu deaths result from secondary bacterial infections.

The virus infection itself cannot be treated with antibiotics but the bacterial complications can. That's why rapid medical diagnosis and treatment is so critically important. Clinical testing of the new swine flu vaccine has estab lished a safe and effective dose for persons 18 years and older. More tests are under way to determine whether two smaller doses would be safer and more effective for children and teenagers. The tests have shown that the vaccine appears to be the safest ever produced, and far more effective than had been anticipated, according to Dr.

David J. Sencer of the Center for Disease Control. Ozone alert MILWAUKEE (AP) Milwaukee County was placed under an ozone alert at 3 p.m. Monday when the air quality index reached 209, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced. The alert, in effect through Tuesday, did not include other counties in the state's heavily populated southeastern district.

A DNR spokesman said the air quality index, which is based on weather conditions and emissions in the atmosphere, is considered poor when it exceeds 200. Montana The name of the state of Montana is Latin or Spanish for over the upper Mississippi Valley, the eastern Dakotas and from western Iowa into eastern New Mexico. Isolated thunder-showers also dotted southern Florida and parts of Montana. Clear weather extended from the the western and central Gulf states to Lower Michigan and over most of California. Other areas were partly cloudy.

Severe thunderstorms raked the northern and central Plains late Monday, with winds gust-ing to 70 m.p.h. damaging buildings and trees at Hastings, Neb. Large hail fell at Vermillion and Lake Andres, S.D. Gusts reached 58 m.p.h. at Fargo, N.D., and Yankton, S.D., and 71 m.p.h.

at Mansfield, S.D. Temperatures overnight ranged from 90 at Phoenix to 47 at Evanston, Wyo. and Lewis-town, Mont. It was called Spanish flu when it struck in three waves in 1918-19 toward the end of World War I. When it was over, the virus had taken twice as many lives as the fighting.

Some disease detectives believe the virus had been carried in swine until it changed form slightly to adapt to a new host man. It hit military camps in the United States in the early spring of 1918, left the country to ravage foreign countries and returned in late August. It spread across the United States in less than a month. Symptoms were strikingly similar to those of the illness that infected more than 150 persons associated with the American Legion convention in Philadelphia last month. Death came quickly, sometimes within 48 hours of the first headache and cough.

The lungs of victims often were filled with thin, bloody fluid that turned frothy in the upper respiratory passages. The victims were the very young and the very old, and healthy young men and women in the prime of life. Swine flu has been all but ruled out in Pennsylvania because there has been no evidence of secondary infections within families and communities. The symptoms were otherwise classic for flu: sudden onset of fever, chills, headache, muscle ache and dry cough. But the most serious cases had fevers as high as 107 degrees and pneumonia, frequently of both lungs, with the bloody fluid.

Influenza epidemics characteristically cause illness in up to 20 per cent of the population but death in less than 1 per cent of cases. In 1918-19, the mortality rate in the United States ranged between 400 and 598 deaths per 100,000 and as high as 6,000 per 100,000 in some countries and military groups. Excess mortality was highest in those between the ages of 20 and 40 years, an unusual event. Twice since then, flu epidemics have claimed tens of thousands of victims in the United States.

The following information reflects the final 1975-76 budget figures: eliminated due to cost controls.

Ad ditional assistance in elementary music and art, considered a priority by staff members, must now be eliminated from further consideration unless the Board of Education wishes to refer items such as this to a referendum. Heating costs will increase 25 and electrical costs 15, according to Don Cole of Wisconsin Public Service.

Long Range Facility Study Dr. John Fredrickson discussed his recently completed 82 page Long Range Facility Study with the Board of Education.

Dr. Fredrickson reviewed the purpose of the study which was: Step 1 Examine school data, previous Citizen Committee school By JOHN STOWELL Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The United States has produced almost 120 million doses of swine flu vaccine but, if the dread djgease struck tomorrow, most othe population couldn't get shots for at least two months. Jn only half that time, the wSrld learned more than half a cfjntury ago, the virus swept whole continents and produced the worst plague in man's recorded history, killing 20 million persons around the globe, including 548,000 Americans. The spectre of another worldwide epidemic, kindled by the mysterious Pennsylvania "legionnaire's disease" that claimed more than 20 lives with startling swiftness, explains the rush in Congress to rescue the government's unprecedented swine flu immunization program from collapse. -As it stands now, the government can't even buy the vac-clhe produced by private drug companies until they are given protection against lawsuits for injuries real or imagined.

jhe new bill under consideration would require the government to field all suits and pay judgments and settlements. However, the government could trj to recover by suing manufacturers and other parties in public immunization programs iCt could prove negligence. TXhe Public Health Service's original plan was to buy 215 million doses of vaccine, enough for most Americans. CJje in 100,000 persons allergic can't take it because the vaccine is grown in fertilized chicken eggs. biggest of the four manufacturers, Merrell-National laboratories, has stopped at 55 million doses because of the unsettled liability iifeurance question.

None of the four has processed the bulk vaccine into vials for distribution, and that process a minimum of five to six wteks. 'What is this disease called swine flu that is preoccupying thif nation's health and political leaders and is so controversial that even the name has angered hog growers? cans and the 1968-69 Hong Kong flu epidemic killed 33,800. Both of those pandemics or worldwide epidemics swept the globe. Just last year, A-Victoria flu virus spread to 47 states in less than six weeks although the death rate was lower than during the Asian and Hong Kong epidemics. Many prominent virologists theorize that the Spanish flu strain returned to its swine host after the 1918-19 pandemic.

Swine frequently suffer from flu symptoms, although they rarely die from it, and pig farmers not infrequently display protective antibodies indicating that they had at some time been infected with so-called swine flu. Then, last February, Pvt. David Lewis died during training exercises at Ft. Dix, N.J. The culprit was diagnosed as resembling swine flu, and epidemiologists from the U.S.

Center for Disease Control found evidence that about 500 other military personnel on the post also had been infected with it, although few displayed symptoms, the first human-to-human spread in more than 50 years. That was the origin for the government's plan, announced by President Ford on March 24, for mass immunization of the American population. His health advisers said the nation may have received an early warning at Ft. Dix of another pandemic. The Ft.

Dix strain is believed to be similar if not identical to the 1918-19 Spanish flu virus, on the basis of findings that persons over the age of 50 have similar antibodies indicating they had been infected. Public health officials have pointed out that there is no way to be sure swine flu, more properly named A-New Jersey because of its Ft. Dix origin, will become the next pandemic. But they argued, and the President and Congress agreed, that the nation couldn't afford to take the chance of doing nothing. Some critics, most notably Dr.

Sidney M.

The Board of Education will have to make a decision as to the disposition of the $49,83 5 54 remaining as a balance in the 1975-76 budget. That money can either be applied to lower the total dollar levy In the 1976 77 budget, or, as the Superintendent recommends; invest the money with the 1.5 levy funds to offset expenditures during July and August when no state aids or fax money is available.

1976 77 Tentative Budget Calculations The Superintendent reported that because of an extremely tight 1975 76 budget, coupled with the $150,000 budget cut by the Fiscal Control Board, makes It necessary to severely scrutinize Items in the 1976-77 budget. Unless the Board of Education considers It necessary to refer some necessary Items to a referendum (anything over 9.5 must go to a referendum) even more severe budget cuts are in order.
