City seeks to clear warrants
Kv Laura Simank
Associate Editor
Ingleside City Council has agreed to
hire a part time police officer to take
care of the more than $14,000 in outstan-
ding warrants stacked up in the munici-
pal court.
Judge Melvin Michaels addressed the
council at their regular meeting, Tues-
day, Feb. 9 and continued to press a re-
quest that he began at the last meeting
He had with him the warrants, some of
which he said are probably dead ones by
now, but that represent over $8,800 in the
immediate area alone.
He said that there are over $5,000 in
warrants in the Corpus Christi area;
over $800 in the Aransas Pass area; over
$800 in Rockport; and over $2,000 in the
Ingleside area.
The part time officer will be paid on a
percentage of the warrants served.
In other council action, the city policy
makers granted a request by the cham
ber of commerce to use the county land
adjacent to the city hall for Round Up
Days and a request for the use of the
swimming pool for Round Up Days

Closed campus probed
Closed campus for IHS was discussed
briefly Monday night by school trustees
at their regular 7:30 p m meeting
After Trustee Pat McGrath brought up
the matter, Supt. Gilbert Mircovich ex-
plained that while the school is experien-
cing some problems with the open cam-
pus, the situation is not serious
He said neither he or IHS Principal
F'elix Turnbough would recommend clos
ing the high school campus at the present
time.
Mircovich voiced concern about the ac-
cess of some students to alcohol over
their time at mid-day away from cam-
pus.
A few weeks ago, student driving was
questioned at the mid day break
Trustees asked Mircovich to caution
students about driving and he reported
Monday night that students have
responded well.
He said that there was no noticeable
abuse of driving after he requested the
students’ cooperation. "We kind of feel
like we have a pretty good relationship
with the students," Mircovich said
In other business, trustees heard a
report from business manager Bob
Spaulding on bus maintenance.
He said that in the summer, all the
hubs are pulled and the shoes and drums
checked, with replacement as needed
Every other month, brakes are ad-
justed and every month, a checklist is
compiled on maintenance work
In addition, drivers report daily any
problem that crops up and the ap
propriate attention is then given
Trustee A1 Hildreth asked that the
feasibility be checked of using high back
ed seats
Board President Harvey Warren then
asked if the drivers meet for safety ses-
sions. Spaulding replied that they
haven’t, but that drivers are required to
take continuing education on safety
In other business. Mr and Mrs
Specker made a request regarding the
district’s practice on corporal punish-
ment 1 paddling)
Mr Specker said that his son had been
paddled for leaving his watch out during
athletics
He said that he opposed the policy and
in particular wanted the school district to
notify him when his son was paddled
Jess Woodard, junior high principal,
said that the district has the duty to
safeguard both school and personal pro-
perty
At present, a student going out after
school for athletics must put away pro-
perty while he's away from the locker
room under penalty of receiving one
"lick" ol the paddle
Woodard said that the practice is not a
written policy, but instead an athletic
rule He noted that the rule has proven to
be effective.
Only during athletics is the paddling
panalty given for leaving property
unsecured
Mircovich said that generally students
have adjusted to the athletic rule
Woodard then explained that while
notes are sent home if a child is paddled
during regular school hours, none are
sent after school when the situation oc-
curred with the Speckers’ son.
After discussion, trustees agreed
generally that to send a note home if a
student is paddled after school
Mircovich, in the discussion, pointed
out that a student can refuse paddling.
Trustees Monday also heard a presen-
tation from Mary Soward from the In-
gleside Federation of Teachers on
teacher consultation
Mrs Soward read their proposal which
calls for electing representatives of the
Ingleside ISD non-supervisory certified
personnel on matters of salaries, work
ing conditions, duties and respon
sibilities, terms and conditions of
employment and fringe benefits.
Trustees took the proposal under ad
visement
The board also reviewed plans for
renovation of Blaschke School.
