Stadium bleacher work approved
from page 1
Nelson, who bid $11,277, will con-
struct the concrete parking area.
As alternates, trustees agreed to
get Hagemeier to remove the latex
paint, which was put over oil base
paint years ago, before beginning
the repainting work at the junior
high at a cost of $4,500. He will also
paint the window panels, which are
currently orange, to match the walls
and will paint air conditioning ducts
and coat overhead water lines in the
hallways for $1,175. At the board's
request he will also trim down a
stairwell which now has low
clearance for $385.
The board tentatively accepted a
$10,973 bid from Steel Equipment for
TDM HANKS
new lockers, assembled and install-
ed, at the junior high, opting to look
into purchasing only new locker
doors if feasible.
Stadium work ahead
Other projects on which bids were
awarded include replacement of ex-
isting wooden bleachers on the home
side of lion Stadium with aluminum
seats. Southern Bleacher submitted
the low bid of $32,800. School district
personnel will remove the existing
bleachers and use any boards which
are still in good condition as
replacements for worn wooden
bleachers on the visitor’s side, LISD
Superintendent David Montgomery
said. He said the new bleachers will
be removable, so they can be utilized

if the stadium is ever relocated.
Also approved was construction of
additional restrooms at the stadium,
to be located on the east side bet-
ween the concession stand and en-
trance gate. Ray Ibison will perform
the work, having submitted the low
bid of $14,800.
Helping to ease congestion in the
area around the stadium will be
removal of the present Redirect
building. The board accepted a bid
of $3,250 from Homer Booth to move
the building to the kindergarten
campus on Jackson Street.
Montgomery said the building will
be back behind the kindergarten
building and that there will be no
contact between the younger
children and Redirect students. The
Redirect program is an alternative
to expulsion for students with
discipline problems.
The Redirect program itself will
be restructured next year, accor-
ding to the superintendent, who said
students in the program will bring
their own lunches and have their
own restroom facilities so they will
not have contact with other students.
Other bids awarded include a
$24,746 bid from Ram Tech for a dou-
ble portable classroom unit which
will likely be used to house two new
first grade classes expected to be
needed next fall. Another single por-
table classroom, for which Ron
Shaw submitted the low bid of
$16,800, will be added at the middle
school.
Virco submitted the low bid for
classroom furniture, with the board
agreeing to purchase 600 student
desks with book racks for a total
$16,050, 20 single desks for teachers
for $2,471, and 35 padded chairs with
casters for $857.60.
Personnel matters
Following an executive session,
the board voted to hire Donald Keith
Carlisle as junior high principal (See
related story page 1), and agreed to
hire two additional first grade
teachers for the 1986-87 school year.
Computers ordered
from page 1
teachers can learn about them, then
decide how best to utilize computers
in educating the students.
Last month, the school board
voted to purchase 10 computers for
the elementary school, but Elemen-
tary Principal Earl Jorden said he
wants to get two mobile computers
because only four of the eight
teachers know anything about corn-
pouters. The teachers, he said, want
to ge the feel of computers, then
decide where to go from there.
So the board voted unanimously to
go with Jorden’s recommendation to
initially get two computers, and buy
more later.
New buildings
The board opened bids on two por-
table buildings to be used for alter-
nate discipline and special educa-
tion.
Board members accepted a
$12,300 bid on a 24 by 32 foot building
to house special education
classrooms.
They also accepted a $9,020 bid on
a 12 by 40 foot building to house the
alternate discipline program and a
nurse’s office.
Goodrich to rebid project
from page 1
The council set July 7 as the date
for bid openings. The council chang-
ed the date of next month’s meeting
from the first Tuesday to July 8 so
they can discuss the bids in the
meeting.
Also, in relation to the new sewer
and water systems, two resolutions
were passed.
One dealt with an agreement bet-
ween the city and Carnie Henderson,
who will give the city some right of
way on Tyler Avenue in exchange
for a water tap at no charge
The other resolution dealt with the
water system owned by Willie
Maude Young. Young, 87, will be put
out of business when the city water
system begins operation. Since the
city could not buy Young’s well and
system, the city agreed to let her
have water service at no charge. She
will be charged for sewer service.

The Position Of County

Judge Wayne Baker Has
An Excellent Record As Coun-

The Best Interest Of All Polk
