Mrs. Thrun submitted a motion which was seconded by Miss Mac¬ keben to adopt Plan A for noon hour ¦supervisiion aa pn^osed by Mr. Man;*y, principal of the grade •ehael, a copy of wMdi was attached to the mhwtes and Ls given below: Noon hear Snperviaien Proposed Plan A
I - Four paraprofession^ OTpei- visors to aid the teachers in the siH)ervision of youngsters in grades 1-5. Exact duties and stations will be known on a day to day basis ac¬ cording to the ^)ecffic weather situ¬ ation. Assignments are designed on a rotational basis in order that all supervisory help share equally in the duties involved.
Duty time: 11:20-12:20
For tbe most part, these four people will fiU outside stations of siB)ervision.
n — Seven teacher crews con¬ sisting of two teadiers each. Ihese two teachers wiU bo on duty for thirty minutes at a time. This crew when added to the number of out¬ side supervisory aides would be a total (rf six people on duty during the entire lunch hour. For example:
11:20-11:50 — 2 teachers plus 4 paraprofessionals
11:50-12:20 — 2 teachers pkis 4 paraprofessionals
Other 10 teachers would not have any assigned si^iervisory duties on that particular day.
If tills plan was put on a rotation¬ al basis, each teacher crew wotdd have two 30 minute (hity periods every seven school days. In other words, each (n:vw cf teachers would have some duty 29 per cent of the time. This proposal is based on the state law that all staff memliers have a minimum of thirty minutes duty-free lunch periods.
Teadiers on duty would serve mainly in the classroom to aid stu¬ dents with academic problems. Oiil- dren returning to school after per¬ iods of Ulness and absence would report to assigned roome during the rKXHi hour.
in — Junior high students wUl be supervised by the six homeroom teachers on a plan designed by them, "niis ^ipervision wfll be coi>- centrated in the classroom and in the gsrmnasium when junkir hj^ youngsters are inside due to the weather.

ieeting
[4 "Resource planning and selective 'use of land in Grafton Town^up" |wiH be one of the featured topics at le annual meeting (rf the McHenr>- County SoU and Water C(Misorva- tion District. The dinner meetin.':; will be Sat. evening, Feb. 3 at the Huntloy Congregational Church, be¬ ginning at 7:30. All lan(k>wners and/or operators living outside th" corporate limits of any fown or vil¬ lage in McHeni-y County are en¬ couraged to attend this annual meeting and hear of the District's accomplishments for the past yea.- and its plans for the coming year.
In April of 1967 Grafton Town^p was selected as the initial county in the UnRed States to be com¬ pletely planned and mapped on a natiu-al resource base. Co-operating in the program are the Soil and Wa¬ ter Conservation District, tlie Mc¬ Henry County Plan Commission and the United States Soil Conservation .Service. Together, these 3 agendes have studied and evaluated the natural resources of Grafton Town¬ ship and havc allocated them on tho basis of agriculture and urban developmMt.
Many McHenry County citizens have seen the soil interpretive maps which, when conpleted, will ^low the proper land use for every piece of lind in McHenry County. Prc- \'iously these maps have been done for 4 soU interpretations. Now, as has been done in Grafton Township, there will be only 2 interpretations: agri(HUture and urban development. Done this sin^ily. it will now be easy to know, from these maps, the exact locations in McHenry Coiuity where one can make the mcst money farming.
The study is based on the in¬ crease in population at present and tte increase expected in thr near future. There is stiU, in this county, more than enough space for farming, but tt should be done only in die areas just good for farming. Planners have come to reaUze that with the wise use of land H cai be possible to haiwUe the tremendous population growth expected in this county by 1980.
