67 - Reinstatement of Sports Seen At Indian Valley




GNADENHUTTEN - Indian Valley's board of education will hold a special session tonight at 7:30 in the school offices here and reportedly will take action to reinstate football and basketball for Indian Valley North and South on the Senior High level.  Athletics, as well as other extra-curricular activities were eliminated from the 1967-68 program because of a financial pinch, which voters in the District refused to alleviate by defeating an additional operating levy in 3 straight elections.  A decision to reinstate the athletics is expected to be based on the following reasons:

1.  A sizeable contribution of money from  the Indian Valley Booster Clubs to help pay the coaching expenses;

2.  The need for a rallying point for IV students, who will be shifted into 2 high schools beginning in September, Indian Valley North at Midvale, comprising students from that area and Tuscarawas and Indian Valley South at Gnadenhutten, comprising students from there and Port Washington;

3.  The possibility of a sizeable increase in State foundation support to the Indian Valley District.

Some other programs also may be continued, finances permitting.
