According to information in a monthly newsletter sent to district residents, the board of education has adopted the plan "in an effort to get the most educational value for the shrinking dollar." Other steps in the plan, parts of which are to be implenented next year, include: moving all sixth grades and the intermediate special education classes to Ridgedale Elementary School; moving all third grades and special education classes from Grand Prairie Elementary School to Morral Elementary School, and sending all students in grades K-2 to Grand Prairie Elementary School. In the newsletter, reasoning for the adopted plan was that such moves should help the administration save on operating and maintenance costs as well as saving costs in the area of roof and other major repairs. It also is stated in the newsletter, "there should be considerable tax dollars saved by closing each of the elementary Future plans include closure of Grand Prairie Elementary School as well as remodeling of the present industrial arts wing for more classroom space and housing of the eighth grade at the high school. No timetable for implementation of future plans was provided.

On current evaluation, the 1.8 mills would generate $856,000. -Expenditure classifications not covered the levy, and which would continue to be paid frome county's general fund total $26,400. -Funds released by the levy, which would be returned to the county's general fund total $502,857. Included in the levy's funding plans are pay increases for sheriff's department employees. Scheiderer has maintained the low salary levels of the employees have contributed to a high turnover rate in the department.

Sheriff's deputies rank third in local law enforcement pay levels, falling below both Marion City Police and Ohio State Highway Patrol salaries. Additionally, the levy would provide funding for the employment of two additional jailers at the Marion County Jail, an increase which is necessary to comply with upcoming state regulations, according to Scheiderer.

The plan, it was stated in the newsletter, provides for a projection which moves students out of the older buildings into the district's newer and larger buildings. It also was noted savings in the costs of personnel, school bus mileage and duplication of services should be realized. It also was suggested "in the not too distant future" construction of a new primary school should be considered by voters.

If a new primary building becomes a reality, the newsletter states, a set-up of a primary school with students in grade K-4, intermediate building with students in grades 5-8, and the high school housing students in grades 9-12, is proposed. News of the board's proposed plans should not be a total suprise to district residents. In March, residents were told at two special citizens meetings the school district was "in the red" and a 4.5 mill levy would have to be approved to provide operating funds for the district. Residents also were told at those meetings of the need for repairs in the older elementary buildings and the possible contruction of a new primary facility was discussed.

Diana Huddleston told police the incident occurred about 7:30 p.m. Sunday when one of two bulldozers, both apparently set in motion by vandals at a nearby construction site, headed for her car. "I put my foot on the brakes to try to stop, and he (the bulldozer) wouldn't stop," she said. She jumped from the car seconds after bulldozer's blade collided with her car and the two vehicles moved toward a 15-foot embankment on the side of a lake.

The bulldozer followed the rolling auto over the edge of the embankment and crushed the car before stopping. The second bulldozer bogged down when its shovel snagged in the ground before getting to the roadway. Mrs. Huddleston suffered only scrapes and bruises and was treated and released at a local hospital.

The students were to make to their candy alternatives today. Teachers not having regular classes will cooperate by giving students sugarless gum and other nonsweet treats, said Young, a member of the teachers' committee implementing the project.

Although sugar is not being completely avoided, students will receive healthy snacks that have food value, she said. It is hoped the project will supplement the school's program of teaching good nutrition. The committee will evaluate the project, Young said, to determine if it should be continued.
