"It's just amazing what these kids can do. They're doing things that just surprise me every day," Nadeau said. She sat on the floor next to Shannon, a four-year-old.

Shannon rearranged small tiles inscribed with letters to form Charter a From page 1A charter school late this school year. If not, Bluffview will begin at the start of the 1992-1993 school year. Who's eligible All district students in kindergarten to sixth grade are eligible, but Montessori classrooms are limited, so if demand is high, there could be a waiting list, Cost Tuition free. The school will receive $3,000 in state student aid per pupil. Local taxes The 1991 Minnesota Legislature provided funding for eight charter schools, so there would be no direct levy to fund Montessori housing or operation.

Impact on district The district could lose $90,000 if 30 students enrolled in Montessori. Dorer said that money would not be in district coffers, but the charter school may draw other students to the district. The district currently loses $335,500 in student aid to other school choice programs, like open enrollment and post secondary enrollment. Housing Bluffview must move from the three rooms it rents at Cathedral Elementary School. Dorer doesn't know yet where they'll relocate, although they have looked at sites around the district.

Boards can revoke delinquent's licenses Beginning May 1, 1992, if a person is delinquent in their child support and is a licensed professional a court can direct that licensing board on whether to suspend the person's license. The boards that can hold hearings and revoke licenses are: nursing home administrators, medical examiners, nursing, chiropractic examiners, optometry, psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, unlicensed mental health service providers, dentistry, pharmacy, podiatric medicine, veterinary medicine, teaching, barber examiners, assesors, architectureengineeringsurveyi ng and landscape, accountants, electricity, boxing, abstractors, private detective agents and the Peace Officer Standard and Training Board.

Stephanine Martin-Rodgers, a Montessori parent, said Tuesday she feels the move tomake Montessori public is "gjfeat for the community" and she and other parents are "exuberant." Dorer said Bluffview will retain its name once it officially opens next fall as a charter school. "Montessori really pushes for independence in a child, so it was good for us to remain independent from the district," Dorer said. look at issues Montessori growth Dorer said they would like slow, even growth. If it spurts, "We'll lose sight of the special qualities (of Montessori)." Currently Bluffview has about 70 students, and foresees it could grow about 30 students next year. District administrators Superintendent Ron Mclntire said Monday that the law is poorly drafted, and so new that lawsuits could be the result of unclear admissions policies.

Chuck Sambs, director of curriculum and instruction, said Dorer proposes giving current Montessori students first access to open slots, which may keep out other students. By law, state money won't fund preschool Montessori students, so parents who can afford Montesso-ri's yearly tuition for their preschoolers will be able to start their children before others, Sambs said. "That would kind of say to me that the number of kids who could start at the kindergarten-first grade level might be very limited, since there already have been a number who've gone through ages three and four," Sambs said. Dorer said Bluffview has financial aid available and has never turned away any students who've wanted in. District teachers Marc Hou-dek, Winona Education Association said the WEA dislikes, the charter school law in general because it lacks accountability.

The Winona School District is in the midst of a fiscal crisis, he said, and "It seems ludicrous to be part of an experiment that may drain money from the school district."

The county is taking a $300,000 cut in HACA and has lost all of its local government aid. HACA is being reduced because the state is taking over county expenses in some areas such as public defenders. Delano said the county spends $69,000 for public defenders while the state is taking $156,118 to provide those services.

Daryl Potter, of Stockton, said he doesn't agree with that. "It's tough for us taxpayers to pay attorneys to defend these druggies," he said. The county must adopt the budget in December. The 1992 budget is a deficit budget with revenues of $23.92 million and expenses of $24.91 million. Every year since 1985 the county has adopted a deficit budget, which has run as high as $3.2 million in 1986 to as low as $80,000 in 1990.

Blaisdell said state and federal grants, additional revenues from fees, and the county's interest -earnings could all bring down the deficit. ftfes Damagevandalism WINONAMonday Bonnie Muras, 1670 Kraemer Drive, reported at 10 p.m. that her vehicle had been spray-painted while parked at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart lot.
