Classroom lessons began
for juveniles held in jail
The Board of Trustees of the Burleson
Independent School District Monday
night joined in a suit against the State
Property Tax Board involving the man-
ner in which a school district's wealth is
determined. Board members also ac-
cepted the resignation of Burleson High
School Principal Charlie Boren, who
plans to retire at the end of the school
year after 33 years as an educator—the
last four in Burleson.
Highland Park initiated the suit
aginst the state board because trustees
of that school district felt that the for-
mula used to calculate a district's tax-
able market value was discriminatory
toward districts with a high percentage
of exemptions for the elderly.
Since tax collections are "frozen” on
these properties, about 46 districts over
the state feel that these valuations
shouldn't be included in the tabulations
The bottom line is that the more able a
district is to support itself, the less state
funds it receives. By counting as tax-
able value property that is actually not
taxable, these districts feel that they
are receiving less than their share of
state aid.
THIS REDUCTION in state aid
translates either to reduced programs
at the schools or higher local taxes.
“I want to make it perfectly clear
that we’re not suggesting we do away
with the over 65 exemption," Super-
intendent of Schools Gordon Cocker-
ham said. "This doesn't have anything
at all to do with that.”
He said that by figuring in these ex-
emptions as district wealth, the tax
board distorts the distribution of state
funds, giving more to districts with few
residents 65 and over and offering less
to those-such as Burleson and Highland
Park—that have a higher percentage of
older residents.
“We simply want the state property
tax board to delete these properties
from its figures which are used to deter-
mine our ability to support the
minimum education program," he
said
He told the board that the exact cost
to the district couldn't be determined at
this time since it was not known how
many districts would be involved in the
suit or what the final expense might be.
“In my opinion, considering the long-
term implications involving distribu
tion of state funds, it would be worth our
while to help with this suit,” he said in
his recommendation to the board.
The board authorized the BISD to join
the suit by a 7-0 vote.
IN OTHER ACTION Monday night,
the board:
—Accepted the resignation of Vicki
Turner, high school math teacher, ef-
fective Jan. 14
—Employed Donna Magee for high
school math effective Jan. 17.
—Approved the return of I.yndell
Rusk to the fifth grade at A.E. Frazier
Elementary. Mrs. Rusk had missed the
first semester on a medical leave of
absence due to injuries she received in
an auto accident while on vacation dur-
ing the summer
—Approved additions and one dele
tion to the substitute teacher list.
—Reviewed the superintendent’s con-
tract in a closed, executive session
—Heard a program presen ted by
Nola Dunn music teacher Betty Fowler
and some of her students
— Approved monthly reports from the
tax office and the finance office.
CLEBURNE—Efforts to provide
classroom instruction for juveniles who
are being detained in the Johnson Coun-
ty jail was inaugurated the first of the
New Year by the Juvenile Probation
Department
For the time being, the classroom
and juvenile detention center will be
housed in the basement of the county
jail.
Utilizing an $84,948 state and federal
grant from the Criminal Justice
Department, Chief Juvenile Probation
Officer Earl Green said his department
is making use of two small intake cells
and four large bay cells until a perma
nent juvenile detention center is
established
A building just across the street from
the county jail was purchased by coun
ty commissioners last summer and will
be renovated later as a juvenile deten
tion center.
State and federal guidelines require
that juveniles detained for long periods
of time must attend school But since
there are no facilities at the present
time, Green is setting up his own
At the present time, juveniles are
usually turned back to their parents
while awaiting disposition of punish
ment for crimes they may have com-
mitted.
Green said his staff is repainting the
temporary classrooms and plans to put
some murals on the walls, and that
blackboards, desks and chairs will be
added, all expenses, including staff
salaries, paid by the Criminal Justice
Department grant.
The detention center will lie staffed 24
hours a day. There will be a probation
officer on duty on the 7 a m to 3 p m
shift and another officer from 3 p.m. to
11 p.m. A sheriff's deputy will staff the
center from 11 p.m. to 7 a m.

son County jail in Cleburne,
booked, and is being held on
$20,000 bond, according to
sheriff’s department spokes-
men
Early afternoon on Jan 10,
a county resident near Josh
ua reported a man entering
her home He was scared
away and took nothing Us-
ing a license number and
vehicle description supplied
by the victim, sheriff's offie
ers were able to obtain the
identity of the man
Warrants for another sus-
pect in the case has been
issued. Both suspects, ac-
cording to the sheriff’s de
part ment, are on parole
from the Texas Department
of Corrections and have been
sent to state prison twice
before.
With the turn of the new
year, college-bound students
should begin looking for
financial assistance for next
fall, said the financial aid
director at Texas Christian
University.
"As soon as the income tax
is figured, get the financial
aid application in to the
school of your choice," said
Logan Ware. “We find that
most of our students who ap-
ply qualify, even though they
have a good inoome, par
ticularly where there are
three children in the same
family in college."
Ware said at least 90 per
cent of the students who
have applied for financial
aid at TCU have received it.
"We’re lucky here in that
we have the program we
have and the community we
have. We have some banks
in the community Lhat make
loans to these students. A lot
of people who wouldn't In-
eligible for a loan at a state
school are eligible for a loan
here," he emphasized.
"We seem to have ade-
quate loans for the students
even though we have more-
students than we had before.
With the recession, more
people are coming back to
school to get better training,
and they’re willing to borrow
to come back to school
Twenty years ago there was
a reluctance to borrow that
doesn’t exist at this point,”
said Ware.
Students on loans have
doubled over the last 10
years, Ware estimated
The future of the financial
aid programs "depends on
what Congress does, what
the president does and
whether they keep barking
these loans," said the TCU
director.
