EDUCATION BOARD
SCORES RONCOv|FRI
School Superintendent Retorts
With Charge That Wrong
doing Was Overlooked

The refusal of the board of education
TO consider the recommendation OF the
superintendent of schools, Alfred Ron
| covieri. urging the reinstatement of
the ianitor salary scale to its former
schedule because of a well marked
surpius in the school fund ripened into
| q Quarrel at yesterdays meeting. The
verbal exchanges we're not anu the
bitterness intense
Roncoyieri was not so much incensed
over the boards refusal to CONSIDER
the recommendation as at the wording
of the resolution embodying the op1n-
ion of the board. Ronconvieri said
week ago that according to ngures
carefully worked out there would be a
surplus of about $4,000 for the fiscal
year ending July /.
BOARD SCORES SUPERINTENDENT
The board of education declared yes
terday that his statement was based
In mart on assumption having no foun-
dation in fact, and in part on mis-
conception of the action of the board.
The resolution was framed by Directors
Hayden and Kincaid. 1t further added
that the resolution was offered as
a means of enlightenment to the super
intendent and as a correction of his
statements
Roncovieri protested against the
wording of the resolution. Hayden
stated that he was satisfied with the
drawing of it and would not brook a
change. Roncovieri argued that one
of the sections of the resolution, which
declared that a fund of $4,000 had
been set aside for janitors' salaries at
the beginning of the fiscal year was
| erroneous, because there never had
been any segregation of the lump sum
offered by the board of supervisors for
school purposes.
WANTS SURPLUS USED
He reiterated his statement that
there would be surplus at the end of
the year, and said that it was no time
! to deprive the janitorS of the depart
ment of their just due.
| In answer to the clause in the resolu-
tion that return to the former scale
would bring about deficit of $4,000
| in the janitors' fund, Roncovieri said
that there was no janitors' fund and
that the s400 month involved in his
recommendation would not be drop in
the bucket compared to the surplus.
Roncovieri was bitterly disappointed
when the board voted unanimously in
favor of the resolution.
