UNOFFICIAL OBSERVER When the new county board came into being in January. 1969. Mrs. Coburn was presi- dent of Kettleby Parent Teach- er Association.

Students are gradually finding a place in policy making in schools. and this is a good thing." The big challenge. Mrs. Co- burn feels. is to try to reach the adults, teachers as well as parents. As a discussion leader in last year‘s education conference she found students communi- cated very well. She admits that. once she is actively a member of the board. she may change her thinking on some matters. that some of the things she would like to see may not be easy to achieve. Mrs. Coburn would like to see more communication be- tween trustees and taxpayers at the grass roots level‘ observ- ing‘ "I think the board wants it. too, but the question is â€" How?” She will not be taking her seat at the board table until January. Meanwhile she has ideas of what she would like to see happening in education in York County. “But I prefer to wait, until I am there.
