Two YMCA volunteer workers hold a beautiful quilt to be ralfled at the AURORA â€" When it comes to the matter of mileage travelled by York County Board of Education staff. the board either has “poor management, or is being ripped off," according to Trustee Norm Weller of Aurora.

Weller made his remarks Monday during a discussion of Structure ’75, which was looking into job descriptions, plus’a cost study of the facilities operation and possibility of reducing mileage charges. ,~_. ... n o,‘ 'Ripâ€"off’ is alleged * in mileage expenses Citing figures from 1974, Weller said various supervisory maintenance staff ,were travelling 43,600 miles a year, or an average of 196 miles a day. "There‘s no sense paying people to drive three, four or five hours a day,” Weller said. “There has to be a better system." He said the board would be making an “awful mistake" if it approved any job titles, where the men were “driving all day, instead of working”. Weller then suggested an amendment to the resolution by Markham’s John Stephens that the job descriptions reviewed by Structure ’75 be approved and referred to the director of education for implementation. It was his contention that six of the 26 positions mentioned â€" supervisor of main- tenance, both engineering and general; field supervisor caretaking and maintenance; manager of facilities; technician and area business office supervisor - be excluded.
