lion, of the district's total operat-
ing budget. Had voters rejected
the renewal, the district stood to
lose 25 percent of its teachers,
counselors and librarians, its ath-

According to Assistant Superin-
tendent Steven A. Gaynor, class-
rooms sizes would have
ballooned, as well.
Attorney Dan Tukel, head of
the the Timber's Edge Subdivi-
sion Association and a member
of Citizens for Walled Lake
Schools, said he and many oth-
ers are pleased with the renew-
al, but they feel the school district
is still in need of an infusion of
money.
"The only down note in the
whole thing is we still think we
need money for new schools and
the improvement of existing
schools. At some point, we feel
we're going to need to address the
bond issue," he said.
Last Saturday's vote "shows
people in Walled Lake do support
the schools, but this will not help
us to build new schools," Mr.
Tukel said. ❑
