General information is included, such as: voter registra- tion, a sample ballot and the 1990 election dates. Also, there is an,ap- plication for an absentee ballot if you'need to vote absentee for the May 15th Primary Election. This pamphlet is provided to help you become a more-informed voter. If we received arguments for and against measures, they are included. Each candidate had the opportunity to submit a picture and statement regarding his/her candidacy. I am pleased to provide this service to you. We have worked hard to make it a tool that will be useful to you, the Voter, as you cast,your ballot. We would like to hear from you regarding the design and usefulness of our County Voters' Pamphlet. We have provided a questionnaire, on page 6, for you to express your views.

The The cost to remove the asbestos fireproofing 3. and repair the building is estimated at$7,708,324. bonds shall mature over a period not to exceed p g .., twenty years. ` The Federal Environmental Protection Agency has offered to pay for up to half this cost. This money can only be used to remove the sprayed- on fireproofing and repair this building. j. The district sought the opinions of a variety of asbestos experts. All agreed that the asbestos f.z° should be removed,especially considering the federal government's offer to help pay for the project. After much debate about the actual health risks posed by asbestos to students,'staffs `. and community as well as future legal liability t , and maintenance concerns, the school board has NL determined that this is a community decision. . Passage of the bond will result in removal of 4ti the sprayed on asbestos fireproofing,replace- ment with non-asbestos containing fireproofing, and repair of damage caused in the removal pro- cess at the high school. If the measure fails, the e district will lose the federal money. All future costs for managing,monitoring,test- 4 J ing,and repairing the asbestos will be borne sole- - ; ly by district taxpayers.This cost,over time,may well exceed the cost of this bond request.

I believe it is the first duty of a Board Member to strive for the best education possible, not the fanci- est buildings, or.the biggest lawns, or the win- ningest athletic teams, but the very best education for pupils. That's the purpose of schools, and the key to success is the classroom teacher. Redmond has some exemplary teachers and they should be adequately paid for the job they are doing.The tax-' payers' money should go to teachers instead of to a i top heavy district office administration with a sepa- rate person to perform each separate task the super- intendent has; and to teachers instead of the many specialists who meet with pupils out of the regular classroom environment. If all or most of the Dis- trict's certified personnel were classroom teachers, Redmond would have one of the best classroom j pupil-teacher ratios in the State, and superb'educa- tional achievment would be the result because that's where it happens-in the classroom. Another basic duty is guardianship of the money gleaned from the taxpayers. With Redmond's new tax base making plenty of money available,it is nat- ural to expect more money to be wasted than was wasted when the District existed under the more stringent safety net conditions. The more waste drains we can plug, the more money will be avail- able for the better education of pupils. The duty of a Superintendent is to implement the recommendations of the school board which listens to the wishes of the people, their electors. Unfortu- nately,Redmond's present system seems to work in reverse. The Superintendent directs the school board which votes to execute his wishes while they try to convince the people of the district that"It's all for the good of kids."
