$30,000 and $90,000. Widened
lanes or extra lanes are other options
that could alleviate traffic

Anyone who would like to make
further donations in memory of the

"It has come to our attention
that in many schools, especially elementary
schools, volunteers are
being used on a daily basis," wrote
Harrington. "We are presently investigating
the situation in each
school, and if it is our judgment
that volunteers or non-bargaining
unit members are doing the work
of laid-off employees or employees
whose hours have been cut we will
be forced to file an unfair labor
practice charge."
DAVID ABTLEY, school board
president said, "I do understand
their concerns, but we've always
used volunteers: As to the specific
issue raised, I think what they're
doing is the right thing — looking
into and researching the issue.
"You might assume it's a negative
letter, but there is concern
about a point" said Artley. "Anytime
you go through these kinds of
cuts, there's going to be concern

cided Monday to send a copies of
their agendas .for sessions through
January to building administrators,
PTO presidents and to newspapers.
"We're hoping the papers might
publish them In advance so that people
will see what we're talking
about" said David Artley, board
president.
"The idea is to allow people the
opportunity to know what particular
topics we're going to talk about so
that they can be part of the discussions,
specifically at workshops,"
said Artley. "We really can't do it
with action items at regular meetings,
because it's a little more complex."
Usually, only about 10 people (in
addition to board members) attend
workshops, Artley estimated. •
The plan ties in with one of the
board's 1988-89 goals, "working to
improve communications both internal
and external."

"1 think if people are more informed.

part of what's going on gives them
an opportunity to participate. Consequently
the feel they're involved in

"P think it's incumbent on the
board to make an effort to make
people aware of the opportunity to

where we really get into discussions
in detail," said Artley. "Out of workshops.

Walter Bartnick, administrative
assistant for labor relations, said,
"I'm kind of surprised to get something
like that (letter). Volunteers
are something Plymouth-Canton
schools have used for years. So
have other districts.
"I'm just really surprised that if
we have parents coming in willing
to help, whether it's lunch, or helping
a particular child that r^eds
help, that the association at this
time would show 'a concern," he
said. "Volunteering is something
we will continue to encourage."
Ligato said the union "isn't taking
issue with volunteers in the
schools. Volunteers have always
worked in the schools. Where we
have a problem is where they are
replacing aides who've had their
hours cut or who have been laid off.
"We believe it's an unfair labor
practice to lay off aides, and then
solicit volunteers to do work they
were doing." I^£9to said.
