Continued from Page One Chisum Superintendent Dr. Uohn Brooks decline to comment ton the petition.

Luna said that the petition, have had to be presented 90 days after the budget adopted in 1989 in order for a rollback election to be allowed for 1990. "But it wasn't presented until 1990, so that's too late to roll back the 1990 taxes," he said. "Now, of course, it's too late to roll them back at all. Next year, if there is a raise (in taxes) and they (petitioners) disagree and get a petition out, they'd have to roll back the taxes for 1992, and it would have to be presented within 90 days of the budget being set in 1991." In other action Monday, trustees extended the contract of Brooks by one year, which extended his contract to three years. Brooks said that his goals for the year include campus level planning, increased parental involvement and the implementation of a computer lab at the elementary level.

"(Early in the year we began) campus level planning meetings in which we're going to be working on our campus plans and redefining those and working from the campus level teacher up," he said. "We're going to be having some parental involvement meetings to try to help us. (Well be) establishing some goals for the next five years and the next as well. "Our immediate goal is the im- provement of basic skills for everybody; that's the purpose of the computer lab." Brooks said the district has applied for a grant of $200,000 in state funds to purchase a 32-unit integrated learning system to serve students in grades kindergarten through eight. He said the.

system would work with the handicapped, special services and student. "There was a $5 million target appropriation by the legislature and we applied for $200,000 of it on Dec. 3," Brooks said. "Otherwise, we have a contingency pi know we have funding for 60 percent of it through federal and state allocated funds. We're wanting to get 100 percent of it (through the grant.) "This system would help us in basic looked for a system that would work with any child.

It's a system we've worked with our staff with; the entire elementary staff has visited a lab and spent a day working withji." Brooks said ttia't'every eleiMn- tary student would wdr-k wiinffche system two hours a week with more time given to those students with extra needs. The system works with the reading, language arts, science and math curriculums. Brooks said the district hopes to receive word regarding the grant sometime this month, with plans of implementing the system before the end of this school year.
