12 Newi Journal, Mansfield, 0. Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Crawford County 0 0 0 o' 1 A fef WW Commissioners Consider Two Levies for School By ANDREA HAAS BUCYRUS In addition to a six tenths -mill construction levy for a $120,000 addition at Fairway School, it also appears that Crawford County Commissioners are considering a three tenths mill operating levy for five to ten years to go before voters in November. Charles Harter, administrator of Crawford County programs for the mentally retarded, said this morning the county is one of only four in the state which runs its program for the mentally retarded without independent operating funds. Expenses are met through allocations from the county general fund. The operating levy would provide about $60,000 per Harter cited overcrowding at the existing Southern Ave, facility as prompting the construction levy.

The county built Fairway School in 1965, two years before state standards for classroom size were set. As a result, the local facility is limited to ten students per room in the present sub -size classroom. Two new classrooms in the proposed addition would accommodate twelve students each. In explaining the need for a new gymnasium to be included in the new addition, Harter said the school desperately needs a large, unobstructed area for physical education. The area being used is a small hallway with a low ceiling and numerous obstructions, including a drinking fountain, fire extinguishers, tables and a piano.

As to the need for an independent operating levy, Harter said "In the future we will have to provide services to more retarded persons than we do now, both trainable and others." Other counties provide more extensive programs for students who are not ambulatory as well as developed mental classes, pre- school training and home training, he added. Only 30 students attended Fairway this year with a waiting list of six. Projections for fall include 40 students and a teaching staff of four. Pioneer Board Accepts Bids left include: Jackie Curry, freshman-Mary Greshner, sophomore; Donna Fulk, junior, and Sandy Shambaugh, senior.
