PTA To Operate Pupil Insurance
Plan
The Caesar Rodney Board Of Edu-
cation at a recent meeting author
lied the Parent-Teacher AssOci-
alton to put in operation a pupil
accident insurance plan. DR.. Jack
Sabloff, president of the PTA, has
appointed the following committee
to be in charge of the details of
getting the plan underway: Mrs
Roy NJ. Scfutchfield, Mrs. H. Irving
Holt, Mrs. Jack NJ Curl, Mrs. r.
Sudler Emerson and Mrs. Clayton
Hershberger.
The Board had previously decided
against the plan on the grounds
that it was a commercial project
requiring the time Of busy teachers
and that it involved another cOllec-
ton Of money from parents.
A survey in the school indicated
that half of the students were all
ready covered by some type of acci-
dent insurance. Also, according to
the records of the school nurse
the costs Of such accidents for the
previous school year had been less
than $4,000.

request from the PaTent-Teacher
Association for approval for a pupil
