institute some o f the long-
range plans they developed
in the summer o f 2003 when
the district was first formed
“ O ne o f th e first
things the new lone Board
did was develop priorities for
the school,” said Browning
“They worked with the staff
and com m unity and held
public w ork sessions to
establish long-range plans.
Two o f their most important
goals \ ^ r e to expand
staffing at the elementary
level and add electiv e
opportunities at the high
school,” she added
Next year, lone will
institute all day kindergarten
and expand the elementary
teaching staff The district
will also make a half-time
high school teacher full-time
in order to expand electives
This year the district was
able to add a music program
through funds provided by
the
lo n e
E ducation
Foundation. That program
will continue in the 2005-
2006 school year
Other changes in the
b u d g et include a larger
provision for maintenance
supplies and materials, music
supplies, p ro v isio n s for
expanding services for ELL
stu d en ts, m aterials for
talented and gifted programs
and additional support for
assessment and testing.

VALUE - NOT AGE COUNTS
When does a home buyer
become too old to obtain a
mortgage loan'’ Well, let me
reassure the senior citizens out
there that age alone has very
little to do with a lender ap-
pro\ing a mortgage It is not
unusual for mortgage terms to
exceed life expectancies It is
done all the time When you
think about it. basing a mort­
gage loan on age alone would
preclude many of today 's buy ­
ers from getting the average
30-ycar fixed mortgage.
The primary consideration
of the lender is the \ aluc of the

underlying asset being given
as security. In other words,
“How much is the property
worth0" The other major con­
sideration is the ability of the
borrower to meet his or her
repayment obligations
If the property to be pur­
chased is o f reasonable value,
a reasonable down payment is
made and the borrower shows
the financial ability to make
the monthly payments, senior
citizen buy ers should not ex­
perience any unusual difficulty
in arranging a mortgage
