The SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Tueaday, January 4, 19773 Breed, Perez Reelected To School Board Positions BY JANE LLOYD SUN Education Reporter Carol S. Breed was reelected president and Kathy Perez renamed clerk of the Flagstaff Board of Education at Monday nights meeting. Arizona school boards are required by state law to elect a president and clerk each January from its membership. Mrs. Breed and Mrs.

Perez have each served one year in their respective offices. Flagstaff attorney Joe R. Babbitt joined the board for the first time Monday night after being elected in the November General Election. Former member Verne D. Seidel Jr.

did not seek reelection. Supt. of Schools David A. Williams reported he was notified by City Manager Charles K. McClain that the Arizona Department of Transportation has concurred with proposed changes in the realignment of the Lockett, Fourth and Cedar streets intersection.

City designers plan a new S-shaped intersection which requires using a triangle of land at East Flagstaff Junior High Schools southeast corner. The school district leases the land from the U.S. Forest Service and must grant the agency permission to allow the city to use the land. Williams said at the Dec. 20 board meeting the district would not request the land release until satisfied the city and state would agree to several intersection design changes.

The changes include providing for a more direct crosswalk at one corner, building a retaining wall and fence at the schools southeast corner and building guardrails around proposed traffic islands. Williams said Monday he is extremely pleased with the city and state departments response and is satisfied changes will be made. In other action, the board authorized Williams to serve as its agent, in signing and processing all federal and state forms, applications and proposals. Williams said the authorization is a formality renewed annually. The board also recognized The Anzona Daily Sun for outstanding contribution to and cooperation with the public schools, district residents and Flagstaff children.

Board members will discuss 1977 and 1978 goals at their Jan. 17 meeting. The discussion will include concerns, interests and desires for the next school year arid will permit the administration time to develop financial requirements for approved goals, Williams said. Babbitt requested a board discussion of Flagstaff Public Schools discipline policies. He said he was concerned school district suspension of students violating criminal laws was beyond the district's duties.

Williams said the district will ask for a legal opinion from the Coconino County Attorneys office and the board will discuss discipline policies further at a February meeting. In personnel action, the board approved the resignation of Tony Gabaldon as a counselor at East Flagstaff Junior High School. Gabaldon resigned to serve as an aide for Sen. Dennis Deconcini, D-Ariz. He will be state director of DeCon-cinis offices in Phoenix and Tucson.

Board members approved an out-of-state travel request for Asst. Supt. Gary W. Prosper to participate in a collective bargaining conference sponsored by the Association of School business officials in Atlanta, Ga. Travel expenses will be furnished by the association.
