Money runs out, SL schools close
South Lane students and em-
ployees went home fr an aex-
tended Thanksgiving vacation
yesterday. Because of a lack
of operating revenue, district
schools must remain closed at
least until Jan. 14, pending the
outcome of another election,
Jan. 11.
Only a skeletal crew of nine
employees will continue to
work during the closure, pro-
viding basic caretaker services.
The district offi ce at 103 S. 5th
St. will remain open from 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. weekdays.
Jule Crume, the district’s di-
rector of instructional services,
announced Monday that work-
books in basic areas (spelling,
reading, math) for students in
grades 1-8 are still available at
the district offi ce for two dol-
lars. She said some supplemen-
tary texts for all grade levels
are also available at the district
offi ce on a fi rst-come fi rst-serve
basis.
All student records have been
updated, and all elementary
schools have sent their fi les and
records to the district offi ce,
Miss Crume added.
District employees will be
able to sign up for the unem-
ployment insurance Monday
from 1 to 5 p.m. at Bohemia
School. Any employee who is
unable to sign up Monday can
do so at any state employment
offi ce on Tuesday or any day
thereafter.

Guests under age 60 are welcome
to attend for $8 per meal.
A supplemental payroll
for the school district is also
planned for Dec. 15. According
to a district spokesman, a sup-
plemental payroll is necessary
because there was not enough
time for the staff to compute all
the fi gures in time for the No-
vember payroll.
(It is a South Lane policy to
make monthly payroll based on
12 equal payments. Each month
during the school year, teachers
are actually earning more mon-
ey than they are receiving. The
difference is made up in June
when they are paid the remain-
der of their contract.)
On or about Dec. 15, teachers
will be paid the balance of what
they have earned through No-
