A June 6 study concerning

slight response as a

School Board reallocates budget
by Beth Utke
staff writer
Beard of Education
members approved a
budget reallocation
presented to them by
the board's finance
committee.
Last Thursday, school
board members made
official, in a six to three
vote, the pro ..al given
them by the committee
which finalized it's
report three days
earlier
At the beard meeting,
members Richard
Montague, Janice
Hagstrom and Carol
Kelly cast nay votes on
reallocation All three
suggested board
members request addltlonal
funds from the
town Board of Finance
to prevent any shortfall
in the budget.
Without reallocation
of $124,698 for salaries
and $12,390 for benefits,
school officials reported
they would encounter a
deficit in those areas
Currently, the
estimated student
enrollment for the 1985-
86 year is higher than
lanned when the
udget was formulat d
in January and okayed
in June.
Under the state
mm mum expenditure
requirement (MER),
the school system must
spend per pupil
Estimated enrollment
figures now call for
about 198 students in the
eStem, which increas
amount which must
be spent in total, thus it
affects the entire
budget
Jack McBride,
chairman of the finance
committee, said the
board should wait until
the official enrollment
figures are determ|ned
in October, and, if need
be, then appreach the
Beard of Finance for
additional funds
Applying th MER of
$3,330 per student, with
an estimated
enrollment now at
$6,447, a budget must
total $21.468.510
Currently, the approved
operating budget for the
coming school year is
$21,258.454 The dif
ference between those
figures is $210,056

On this happy day as we prepare
to receive our diplomas,
in addition to reflecting on the
knowledge we have gained
from our academic subjects,
we will no doubt think of the
friends we have known
throughout our high school
.',ears
During our school years, I am
sure that everyone has found
his friends to be a source of
comfort and companionship
Such friendships develop
because of a common interest
or experience that can never be
forgotten Once a bond has been
formed, it cannot be broken,
true friend will always be there
through good and bad times, a
friend s not merely someone
with whom we can have a good
time, but also someone with
whom we can share a certain
amount of sorrow and heartfelt
emotion
Between friends, certain
things will never be forgotten -
like a trip taken together
These events can serve as a
start to a friendship which can
never be destroyed For example.
last year I traveled to Paris
with several of my friends,
some of whom I did not know as
well as others By the end of the
trip, it seemed as though we
news--3
with whom we come in contact.
but these new friends, even
though they may become as
close as our old friends, will
never replace the friends in our
past These new friendships
will only enhance our lives and
build on the past, not make us
forget what we already have
Parting is always sad. but it m
only temporary Even when we
are not really together, v,e will
be with each other in our
thQughts and in our hearts
In closing, I would like to
thank my mother, father, and
my brother Scott. as well as m)
friends, who were the inspiration
for this speech Dowt

A boy was asked, "I)o

"No," he answered
"Why doWt you"
asked the preacher
"Because." he explained,
"some nights I
don't want anything
from the Lord
But prayer is more
than just wanting
something from the
Lord It is also waiting
upon the Lord
And waiting on the
Lord is not idleness It is
involvement It dehvers
you from exhaustion to
effectiveness, from
gloom to gladness, from
trials to triumph
Wafting on the Lord is
not fantasy It is
productive The one who
waits on the Lord does
not panic He practices
patience For He IS
enhghtened with the
plan of the Lord and
then enjoys tim peace
One never waits too

Lord promises to lead

Covering a graduation
Another high school graduation has come
and gone. and in this week's issue of The
Observer we are able to bring you a
vaneb of candid photographs taken during
theceremony
Those published on our pages are intended
to give graduates and their families
a close-up glimpse of the students' last day
together as classmates, of their last
moments together before venturing into the
adult world
We are proud to provlae tnis service to
our readers, and beueve that it is not only
our right to cover pubhc high school
graduation ceremonies, but also our
obllgahon
Unfortunately. it appears some factions
of the high school do not feel the same way
Press representatives were at first told they
could not cover the graduation ceremony
from the athletic field, and must stand
outside the fence to photograph and report
on the event
Cited as the purpose for this new policy
was a series of "incidents" at past
graduation ceremonies which caused
graduates to become "over-enmuslasuc
No further explanation was given as our
hotograpber was asked to leave the field.
ut we wholeheartedly disagree with such
feeble reasoning and urge that such a behef
be re-examined
During the past four years, an Observer
photographer has covered graduation
exercises on Fontana Field and has not
noticed any "incidents" due to the press
coverage Rather. most students were weu
mannered, well behaved, enthusiastic and
vibrant during the ceremony Press
presence later allowed these students to
relive their graduation in stories and
photographs published in local and area
newspapers
To say that all students will "act up"
because of the press is an insult and
disservice to the hundreds of good kids--or
should ,e sa.', young adults--who want to
savor and make the most of their
graduation da , They should not suffer
because of th unthinking acts of more
immature students, students whose immaturlD
will certainly be a part of any
graduation ceremony with or without the
press
It s not lhe purpose of the press to 'incite.'
but to record Although we believe
Southlngton probably has too many fine
youngsters for anything to get out of hand.
the press must be allowed to record events
Our photographer and reporter were
able to gain access to the athletic field
eventually, and one result is photographs
which we sincerely hope graduates will
enjoy Without access to the field, a proper
recording of the da? ,ould have been
almost impossible
' pohcy of not
It is imperative .ha, a
aiiov, lng die pie . onto the_ athletic field tv

It seems to us that any administration
which denies the press access to a public
athletic field, where a public high school
graduation is being held. directly affecting
the lives of over five hundred students is
bordering on violating the first amendment.

We again urge that this matter be

The public, those many people who could
not attend the ceremony, also have a right
to be informed about the day and its hapaanlngs
The',' have a right to read a firstnd
accoun{ of the ceremony and to see
p|ctures of the graduates in all their glory
Again. we urge the high school administration
to review its policy regarding
press coverage, and then communicate it
not only to the press but also to iLs staff
prior to graduation morning
There s no reason why the press and high
school administration cannot work
together, as long as ground rules are laid
out. an agreement is reached and everyone
involved in the ceremony knows that plans
have been formulated
All this should be done without "gagging"
the press, without denying graduates and
the public their right to vice, what has
happened at a public event held on public
school property We believe the school
system should think again before trying to
put sanctions on working reporters and
photographers

it seems only appropriate to

one The first job at

been that Senior Centers

State Capitol Review
by State Representative Angelo Fusco (81st)
Education suffers with teacher's plight
The Governor's Commission
on Equity and
Excellence m Education
has drafted preliminary
findings which will open
some eyes to the plight
faczng education In our
state
One of the most pressing
issues today (as
reported by the commission)
is the low salary
being paid teachers
The task force report indicates
that compensa
tion is not at all competmve
with other fields
requiring a comparable
education Furthermore,
the good
teachers, who might
happen to be veterans.
are attracted by higher
pay m the private industry
So, not only are the
new TEACHERS dffhcult
to find, the veterans
are equally as difficult
to keep
Examining the problem
more closely, m
1984-85 the average startmg
salary for teachers
was $2500 less than comevrably
educated entry
el employees m
bankmg, msurance,
manufacturing and
state government Obviously
under those cwcumstances,
it is hard to
present a drawing card
to those who wish to
enter the field of education
While money isn't
always the bottom line
factor, it may be m the
long run when considerlng
a lifetime commitment
to a TEACHING
career
Equally important is
the h rmg of quality
teachers To date, that
has been a serious problem
The SAT scores of
Education Malors have
declined more steeply
than those of other students
As a matter of
fact, findings show that
most teachers are
drawn from the bottom
group of SAT performers
One could certainly
argue that a h gh SAT
score does not
guarantee a succ sf
teaching.., career Obviously
though, some
standards need to be
estabhshed from which
to choose would-be
teachers
Women, once the
stronghold of the
teaching profession, are
abandoning it in droves
Between 1970-1980. 50%
less women
matriculated with an
education degree They
instead, choose a career
offering hzgher pay and
a greater chance for
promotion
Connecticut is expermncmg

teachers Even more
disturbing, during 1983-
1984, more than half of
the starting teachers
hired in Connecticut
were graduates of outof-state
institutions We
would be better off hiring
a teacher from
within our borders
