No room for citizens
(Continued from Page 1 Column 3)
representation o f community groups
should select a replacement or present
their nominees to the board, rather
than having the board (or only part of
it selected by the chairperson, as is now
done) seek out a replacement. Board
members should be encouraged not to
resign between elections. Nationally
one half o f board members are first
appointed, a subversion o f the
democratic process.
7. So that lay persons on the board
can compete with administrative expert
jargon, and can assume more authority
in the policy-making role they sup
posedly exist to fill, funds should be
provided for board member staff in
addition to the present one board
secretary.
8. Board members should be en
couraged by the public to place items
on the agenda for board meetings in
stead o f the administration routinely
proposing the agenda.
9. A u th o rity should be decen
tralized at all levels. For instance, as
much power as possible should be
delegated to principals rather than
higher administrative levels.
Symbolic participation in educa
tional governance by the lay per-
son must be replaced in each instance
by real participation and new channels
must be opened in order to deal with
the district’s communication problem;
in order to lessen con flict and
alienation; and in order to develop
sound educational programs and
policies that will gain citizen support.
The
educational
system
from
classroom to board room should
become a model process o f humanistic
and democratic participation. In a
society with rapidly changing values
and continuing minority demands the
educational system at all levels must be
pluralistic. This should not be seen as
a threat but as an opportunity to allow
children, citizens and professionals to
reach their potentials.
I f citizens are allowed (demand!)
meaningful participation and are given
quality information they will, through
debate o f options, come to decisions in
their best interests. M a jo rity votes
cannot legitimately trample minority
rights which will, in any case, continue
to need legal protection. But to believe
citizens are incapable o f being as fair
and just as "experts” is to question the
value o f the concept o f democracy and
to vastly underrate snd inhibit human
potential.
do a lot by themselves.
In a n e w fr
built Energy Saver
ver Home they do
even moie.
Each of these energy savers is de
signed to do a particular job. But they
all do an even better jo b when they work
together as a team.
That’s why you'll find them all in
n e w ly c o n s tru c te d E n e rg y Saver
Homes. Built to strict Pacific Power
conservation standards, these homes
maximize energy savings and minimize
energy bills. They’re being built by local
contractors in your area right now.
Guidelines for these new hom es
have been developed by experts in
energy conservation and hom e con
struction. W orking together, they’ve
determined how m uch insulation is
required in the ceiling, floors and walls
to reach m axim um efficiency in this
part of the country. They’ve measured
the effectiveness o f d o u b le glass.
T h e y ’ve establishe d standards fo r
weatherstripping around doors and
windows, and determined where vapor
barriers should be. They know how big
the heating plant needs to be and
where fireplaces should be located.
So, if you're looking for a new home,
call your local Pacific Power office for a
list of builders in your area, then look
into the Energy Saver Home.
Another Idea you can bank on from The People at Pacific Power.
