need for continuing service and maintenance work on the heating and electrical systems.
 MT. Angel was asked to secure information about the purchase of daylight screens for use in the wis ual aids program. It was felt that the use of such screens would make it possible for teachers to use these aids within their own classrooms, and would make their use more effective.
 At present it is necessary for classes to move to the multi-pur- pose room and this has caused some disruption in the school pro- gram. Portable screens would eli minate this moving about.
 Mrs. Grant made two recom- mendations:
 l. The Board should make every effort to secure a remedial teach CT to help with language and read ing problems.
 2. The Board should make a definite effort to report school board activities to the community.
 In addition to current bills in December, the Nome School Board signed a gross payroll for Nome Public School of 21,35987 for the month.
 The Nome School Board invites residents to attend it's regular meetings, stated spokesmen of the board, and meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, at 8 pm. at the school. Members further stated to the local resi- dents that School business is YOUR business" Special hearings should be arranged by contracting the president of the board.
