  [Peggy Dell] headed up the board's policy committee. President Don Yoder Jr. said he relied on Dell for the detailed technical knowledge she was able to provide the board. \"She was a solid performer,\" Yoder said. \"She will be missed.\" What's next: Checks should be made payable to Clearview PTO and mailed to the same at 2650 Delta Road, Brogue 17309.

Peggy Dell, who lives on Roosevelt Island, was born in a small Hungarian village in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains in 1910. She emigrated with her mother and aunt in 1921. In the 13 years since she retired, she has spent a good deal of time traveling. Before that she did many types of work: she danced, modeled, wired mine detectors in Astoria and worked in advertising agencies. She graduated from college at the age of 44. PEGGY DELL

  IN REGION 3, which includes Loganville, Jacobus, Dallastown and Springfield Township, residents can vote for as many as two of three potential candidates: Earl Miller, Peggy Dell and Carroll Tignall Jr. Tignall believes children deserve quality education that is efficient, effective, and affordable. He wants to bring about change and fiscal reform and thinks spending is out of control. Strategic planning needs to include a financial planning component representing all those affected, he said.

Miller:To me, No Child Left Behind is a touchy subject. That's something we don't control. Not all students learn at the same rate. No Child Left Behind isn't fair to the children. We want to educate each kid to the best of their ability. 3. Dallastown had to close enrollment at Ore Valley Elementary School earlier this year because of overcrowding. The anticipated construction of a new intermediate school should solve some of the district's overcrowding problems. How would you rate the district's performance in preparing for the growth that has occurred within its boundaries? Are there other steps the district should be taking? Explain your answer. [Carroll Tignall Jr.]:There appears to be a competition among the school districts in York County regarding facilities with each district trying to outdo each other. Dallastown has excellent facilities. The need for upgrades is a value judgment and subject to individual interpretation. The recent acquisition and upgrade of two athletic fields in excess of $600,000 is questionable. The real question is whether or not the use of taxpayer monies is appropriate for non-instructional purposes. Are these programs and facilities for education or entertainment? Should these programs be paid for using private donations rather than taxpayer monies? I do not believe that taxpayer monies should be used to install synthetic turf on athletic fields.

Incumbents Earl Miller and Peggy Dell are seeking re-election in Region III, joined on the ballot by the school board's most persistent critic, Carroll Tignall Jr. Tignall criticized the proposed school, to be built on Susquehanna Trail in Springfield Township, saying the project is the \"wrong school, wrong place, wrong time.\" He would then move on to noninstructional programming, such as food service and buildings and grounds costs, then consider cutting instructional programming and would possibly \"take a look\" at teachers salaries and benefits, he said.

Board member Donald Yoder Jr. said he wanted Dallastown to have early input in the technical school's budget to keep expenses down. Also, Yoder requested an annual report from the technical school to make sure that money spent was bringing results from the stu dents. Voting to approve the resolution were [Frederick Botterbusch II], Michael Hady II, Bonnie Lepson, Ted Meckley, Earl Miller, James Morton, Mary Shoemaker and Yoder. [Peggy Dell] voted against the action. The agreement calls for the recreation department to pay $1,000 to the church in return for the use of about seven acres, including existing soccer fields and the field house, as well as the southeast portion of the church parking lot. The lease runs now through July 4 and will double in price to $2,000 if the local soccer program also chooses to use the fields.

[Earl Miller]:I'd think we should get a high rating. We're trying to not raise the tax rate any more than we have to. At 4.5 percent last year, it dropped somewhat. We're trying to meet the needs of the students without going too far on taxes. Part of the past increases have been a matter of catching up with the needs we had. [Peggy Dell]:The board appointed a committee to research the options and expected yield for the district. Overall, the 1% increase in the EIT was recommended as the best option for the majority. I believe this was the appropriate decision. Most taxpayers do not realize that there is no system in place to collect a personal income tax. There are two districts in the York Adams Tax Bureau area that approved the PIT option. The Bureau is currently researching options and software modifications to determine if they will be able to collect the PIT. If not, I'm not sure how the districts will be able to collect the taxes to support their decision. In the future the Dallastown board will reexamine any options for tax relief. [Carroll Tignall Jr.]:Teacher salaries are only one part of a compensation package that includes health care and retirement benefits, holiday and sick leave pay, education reimbursements, compensatory time, and many other benefits. Too often focus is on salaries alone and comparison with other school districts rather than adequacy of compensation and how it compares with the private sector. Dallastown like most other school districts should be criticized for not doing more to negotiate a total compensation package that meets teacher needs but is affordable by taxpayers. Details of compensation packages are not made public, but taxpayers are expected to pay for increases that far exceed rates of inflation. The overwhelming majority of community residents do not feel the school district tax is fair or reasonable.

Voting for the change were Fred Botterbusch II, Michael Hady III, James Morton, Earl Miller, Mary Shoemaker and David Inkrote. Voting against the calendar were [Peggy Dell], Don Yoder Jr. and Bonnie Lepson. Voting for the calendar were Fred Botterbusch II, Michael Hady III, James Morton, Earl Miller, Mary Shoemaker, David Inkrote and Bonnie Lepson.

Action: At the March 13 school board meeting, school administrators said Christine Blevins has been appointed to the position of permanent principal at Baresville Elementary School. Prior to the change, Blevins held the position of interim principal as well as elementary school supervisor, overseeing the district's other three elementary schools. The cost to Dallastown would be about $100,500 a year for the life of the bond based on all 14 school districts participating, Supt. [William Thompson] said. \"All 14 districts will come on board, I think,\" he said. Expulsion: The board voted to approve the hearing committee's recommendation to expel two eighth-grade middle school stu dents until the start of the second semester of the 2002-03 school year because of a BB gun weapons' violation for both stu dents and the possession of a controlled substance for one of the students.
