"Teachers learned of the. costs of other services while sit- ting in on budget sessions," said Mrs. Wallace. "No advantage was taken of the boards' budgetary systems. In view of what's happened we should take a serious cook at the method. The whole approach should be looked at another year."

At that time he notified the board that in his opinion, poor, communication with the teachers was an immediate problem to be overcome. , In his recom- mendation to the board, Dr. Deathe suggested a "fairly major co-operative program with your professional staff" begin ning, with a session in October entitled "Improving Communi- cation Within. The_. CoUnty Sys- --L tem". While board members decided to take a full two weeks before , the next board meeting to study all the ramifications ' of Dr. Deathe's full proposal, including hiS thoughts on setting, up a type of teacher advisory committee to the board, Mrs. J.
