OlUy THE BEST FOR THIS JOB
Seldoviuns were reminded lust week of the
coming election of a school board member, to
be named at the same time is municipal trus
tees are elected on April 1.
To the parents of S,eldoviars children,
the choice of that school board member is
all-important, overshadowing even the naming
of the councilman who will direct the city
government for the corning year, xv position
on the school board is a job that brings'
with it only a "thank you/' and yet it is a
job that should be held only by citizens of
the very highest caliber.
One iot of that school boarc is to select
the teachers who will direct the activities
and the learning of your children for three
quarters of their waking hours for nine
months of the year. The choice they make
is of the utmost import.,nee to you, if you
have the welfare of your children at heart.
One 3 elected, a school board member can
unite the community wholeheartedly behind
the teachers of Selcovi., school, or ha can
split the city, into quarreling factions. Al
most as important as a good choice in tea
chers , is the community cooperation given to
those teachers during their ,,;ork here. Only
too often, a school board member, poorly
Qualified for the office for which he is el
ected, can nuillify the best efforts of even
superior teachers by his meddling and inter
ference with teaching policies and programs.
Let’s find good candidates for the vacant
position on the Seldovia school board, and
then let’s elect file b3st of those nominat
ed. anc [vov3 all, let’s show our interest
as parents ...nd as citizens by voting in the
j-ipril 1 election. Last year’s record of 11
ballots cast in the school board election,
five of them by the judges themselves, is
nothing to be proud of. Let’s make sure it
doesn’t h:m en again.
