Because its against state law to require students to pay for field trips or special activity travel, fund raises may be required in some cases to raise money for a trip, Park said, adding that fund raisers strap our small community quite heavily."

Aland says that was definitely something that needed to be done. Eleven cars have already been sold, and between three to five more cars are scheduled to be put up for sale. Most ofthe cars were older models and brought an average of$650apiece, he said. Aland soys the motor pool should be pared down to about 20 cars -including driver's education cars. About half of the cars in the district are used by the special education department which provides ancillary services to different schools throughout the county. The committee also recommended the school district purchase a van for each high school. The board is in the process of obtaining fleet bids from local car dealers, Aland reported. The vans will beused in place olabus when justahandful ofstudents needed to activities. The school board asked the special committee to scrutinise the activities' and special transportation budgets because they have been sharply impacted by the decline in the county's property tax base.

The number one reason people get fired in the U.S. is anger, and the number one problem people say they have at work is they do not feel heard and respected. How do we make people feel heard when they are difficult to be around and still stand up for ourselves? If the only tod you have is a hammer, you treat everything like a nail. Here are some more tools to add to your toolbox for the next time someone is upset and taking it out on you. None will work all the time, and some will work better for your personality style than others. Here are some suggestions: Lighten Up. When others begin to act "hot, we instinctively tend to either. 1. escalate (become like them and get loud, more hostile, or other mimicking reactions), or 2. withdraw (poker face, quiet down). Either approach gets us out of balance. Both are but reactions. They are akin to saying I don't like your therefore I am going to behavior give you more power." Instead, slow everything down: your voice level and rate and the amount and frequency of your body motions. Be aware that you are feeling a . hot reaction to the other person. Instead of dwelling on your growing feelings, move to a action and leave room for everyone, especially the person in the wrong, t. to save face and Take the "Three A's approach: Acknowledge that you heard the person, with a pause (buys time for both to cod off), nod, or verbal acknowledgment that does not immediately take sides (I understand you have a concern rather than "You shouldnt have. . or involve blaming or bad labeling language (Let's discuss what would work best for us both now rather than "That was a dumb ...) that pours hot coals on the best of escalation and hardens the person into their position.

Allow them to save face and keep asking questions until you lose imagination or control. Say, for example, How does that relate to the . . . (then state the apparently conflicting information). You might find you were wrong, and thus you "save face. Or, by continued nonthreatening questions, you can softly corner" the other person into which protects your future relationship. Look to Their Positive Intent, Especially When They Appear to Have None Our instincts are to look for the ways we are right and others are . . . less right. In arguing, as the momentum builds, we mentally focus on the smart, thoughtful, and right things we are doing, while obsessing about the dumb, thoughtless, and otherwise wrong things the other person is doing. This tendency leads us to take a superior or righteous position, get more rigid, and listen less as the argument continues. Difficult as you might find it, try staying mindful of your worst side and their best side as you find yourself foiling into an escalating argument. You will probably be more generous and patient with them, and increase the chances that they will see areas where you might be right after all. Dump Their Stuff Back in Their Lap. If someone is verbally dumping on you, do not interrupt, counter, or counterattack in midstream, or you will only prolong and intensity their comments. When they have finished, ask Is there anything else you want to add? Then say, What would make this situation better? or How can we improve this situation in a way you believe we can both accept?" Ask them to propose a solution to the issue they have raised. If they continue to complain or attack, acknowledge you heard them each time and, like a broken record, repeat yourself in increasingly brief language variations: What will make it better? Do not attempt to solve problems others raise, even if they ask for advice they might make you wrong. People will spend more time proving their way works best than using a method suggested by someone else, even someone we love or like.
