At the next meeting I will also be proposing the salary adjustments talked about in executive session; 3/5% increase which is the same as administrators except for Mr. Prince at $58,600 and Mr. Atseff at the same salary as Mr. Spring.

Dear Mr. Barbehenn,

Thank you for your letter of January 21,2002 and for your interest in school facilities. To my knowledge, A Wayne Central Schools’ Athletic Club has not been discussed by the School Facilities Committee, nor is it part of this Committee’s responsibility which is to survey and develop a 5 year Capital Facilities Plan. I am but one member of that 22
member Committee, and speak only as an interested citizen.

Currently the Towns of Ontario and Walworth use the school facilities for their recreational programs. This provides an opportunity for all residents to use a local facility for a program use fee only. Other towns have different arrangements. Some interested citizens are looking at other options being used by towns and schools in neighboring
communities.

I have very limited detailed knowledge of the current school tax situation. I do know, having served on the School Board, that the tax formula is very complex and often changeable, most often due to the State.

Please feel free to contact me in the future.

Sincerely,

Jinny Loomis
