School board sets special County road program is proposed meeting to discuss Mt View 00a.oo County wa. o • Commission was presented with $15,000; two miles of tile Road at Oak l'atch for light Olympic Highway, The Shelton School Board set a special meeting for 8 p.m. December 20 to discuss possible solutions, to a time and space problem for kindergarten at Mt. View School which was discussed with a group of parents at the school board meeting Tuesday night. On a motion by Board Member Theron Burgess, the board asked representatives of the parents group to meet with Ken Gesche, principal of Mt. View School to discuss the questions and also asked Superintendent Louis Grinnell to get a copy of a proposed contract for a lease-option on a modular building. Kurt Hardenbrook, a spokesman for the parents group, told the board they were concerned that because of three sections of kindergarten using the same room, pupils were not getting the two hours and 15 minutes of class time which is required under the state basic education law. He said some of the group had checked with State Department of Public Transportation representatives and had been told the way the kindergarten was being worked at Mt. View did not comply with the basic education law. He also said the group had checked with a representative of a firm which handles modular classroom buildings and had been told one could be obtained without going through bidding procedures through a lease-option, and that it could be set up and ready to go by February 1. Gesche told the board while the three kindergarten sessions using one classroom had caused problems, some adjustments had been needed to be made. He said while it was not a good situation, efforts had been made to make it work and to be in compliance with the basic education law. He said the state person to whom he talked had told him the way it was being worked was in compliance. Gesche said that from information available now, it appeared there would be a building available tora second kindergarten room next year. Superintendent Louis Grinnell stated he was not in favor of the use of modular buildings and doubted if one could be obtained and installed as quickly as the parent group had been told. He also said there were other alternatives which could be considered such as obtaining space in another building outside the school area or dividing the three classes into two and having an extra teacher part of the day in each class. a proposed 1979 road construction program by County Engineer Marley Young last week. The commission is studying the proposed program which must be adopted before the 1979 budget is finalized. Proposed projects for District One, represented by Commissioner Floyd Cole includes two sections of the John's Prairie Road, totalling 1.26 miles starting at the Shelton city limits. The work includes preliminary engineering, right-of-way, grading, draining and surfacing and asphaltic concrete paving on one section and asphaltic concrete on the other. Cost of the projects is $65,000, all of which will come from local funds. Dewatto Road from Dewatto north for light bituminous surface treatment at a cost of $25,000; 3.73 miles of the Tee Lake-Dewatto Road for light bituminous surface treatment at a cost of $25,000; all of the Tee Lake Road, 2.41 miles, for light bituminous surface treatment at a cost of $25,000; The Tahuya River Road for 1.61 miles from the Belfair Park-Tahuya Road south for light bituminous surface treatment at a cost of $25,000; two miles of the Tee Lake-Dewatto Road from Tee Lake west for light bituminous surface treatment at a cost of $10,000; 2.5 miles of the Dewatto Road from the Holly Junction south for light bituminous surface treatment at a cost of $10,000; 2.50 miles of bituminous surface treatment at a cost of $9,000. District Three, prcsented by Commissioner John Bariekman, has one major road project and three railroad crossing signals in its proposed 1979 program. The road project is 1.7 miles of the Cole Road from the Cook Plant Farln Road to the Lynch Road for grading, drainage and surtacing and asphaltic concrete at a cost of $252,000 of which $80,000 comes from federal aid secondary funds and $172,000 from local funds. The railroad crossing signals are proposed for the crossings on the Cole Road, Lynch Road and Old Olympic Highway. The costs are $69,000.for the Cole Road, of which $62,000 will come funds; and $62,000 $56,000 will come ftolnl funds. Young told the the probability impact funds for the share of the three projects is in the works.
