must be passed by the Commis-

ducted from compensation paid

There would be no other costs
to either the employees or tu

ed in U. S. Treasury bonds and
high-grade corporate bonds. In-
terest being credited on retire-
ment fund contributions has

ers. .

The Clifton Independent School
District Board of IYurtees is ex-
pected to meet at 7 p.m. Thurs-
day. December 13, at Ciifton
High School to consider how to
further meet the energy crisis,
according to Supt. of Schools,
Kent Appleby.
Governor Dolph Briscoe has
declared an emergency period
for the stato’s school districts
beginning January 1 and ending
March 31, 1974. The state’s chief
executive has asked schools to
set a goal of a 15 percent energy
curtailment.
Dr. J. W. Edgar, commissioner
of education, has requested Tex-
as public schools to cooperate
in the governor's energy-saving
program.
In response to the Governor’s
request, the Texas Education
Agency will coordinate an energy
saving program in the public
schools designed not only to save
energy this year but to produce
data necessary to plan an effec-
tive program for next winter,
Dr. Edgar promised.
Specific action measures re-
quested by the Governor and by
the Texas Education Agency in-
cluded:
—Sot all thermostats it 63 de-
grees for cold weather and V8
degrees for warm weather.
—Reduce thermostat settings
to 65 degrees just before the end
ot the class day and reset them
to 68 degrees an hour before Ihe

45 minutes in order to meet the
requested 2:30 p.m. closijtig time.
Schools with instructional pro-
grams based on a longer class
period may reduce those periods
proportionately.
Local boards may also develop
an emergency policy governing
the schedules of the school day1
during periods of extremely cold
weather. Schools may operate
on a four-hour midday schedule
or close for the entire day when,
in the judgment of the local
board, weatiier conditions require
such an adjustment.
