Georgia Scott, who hosted a fam- ily tree in the library for students and guests to put their thumbprint with their name in it on, has been the only library technician the library has had. Due to budget cuts, this will be her last year at the school, from Jackson Heights, she said. Originally only a kindergarten through third grade school, Metteer was a year-round school because that was the only way it could get funding, Blaser said. "We outgrew the new school before the first phase was finished," Blaser said. That first year, two portables were brought in to accommodate about 300 students, she said. There was an experiment for WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is clamping down on excessive pay at public hous- ing authorities, setting caps that extend and expand limits imposed by Con- gress. The action comes as the admin- istration revealed that the top official at the Atlanta housing agency received a compensation package of $644,214, the highest in the country. After conducting a national com- pensation survey, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development plans to set a maximum salary ceiling of $155,000 for public housing agency officials, according to two senior administration officials. The cap applies to the portion of executive salary paid with federal money. It does not require congressional action. The national survey of 2010 salaries found that while most local public housing officials were compen- sated in amounts at or under the new limit, a few top local housing officials were getting at least twice that amount, including Atlanta Housing Authority executive director Renee Glover, who has led the city's agency since 1994. Her total compensation included salary, bonus and other benefits, the POLLS (Continued from page 1A) the seat previously held by the retiring Greg Avilla.

"Ray Morris hired me," Scott said. "When I started, the cafeteria was in here and food was brought over from Jackson Heights. We also housed a computer lab until Wayne Campbell was principal." In the beginning, the 4,000-book library at Jackson Heights was split in half with 2,000 going to the new school, where a card catalog system was put in place. Today, the library has about 19,000 books, all of which she picked geared toward staff and stu- dent needs, and the library has an on-line catalog that allows for books to be shared by other schools in the district.

The school was named for "George Russell felt William Metteer was instrumental in the school's start," Ramey said. "Met- teer purchased the property and it was his vision to build the school." officials said. The officials spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss a plan and a report that had not yet been made public. Russell and then school board member Barbara McIver are a big part of why the school exists because they spent a great deal of time in Sacramento helping to get funding for the school, Ramey said. Nancy Stratton, a school nurse who was on the committee to design the new school and helped get a healthy start grant. Another instrumental person was Jack Hansen, who was superin- tendent after Russell, was also a big part of the school's start, she said. Though the school has seen many changes both in staff and mode of operation, it is a great place to work with a very flexible staff, whose constant focus was keeping Metteer a place of excellence, Gaskin said. "The school continues to evolve and, despite the challenges of edu- cation right now, it continued to turn challenges into opportunities and innovations," Gaskin said. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com.

Those salary packages caused a furor last year, prompting calls for an investigation by Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Beyond Glover's compensation package, the Obama administration pointed to $606,320 in total compen- sation for the top official at the Hous- ing Authority of the City of Los Ange- les, $417,688 at the Philadelphia Housing Authority and $357,635 at the Chelsea, Mass., Housing Authori- ty.

Grassley welcomed the HUD action Monday, but said the adminis- tration should identify compensation packages by agency. ''Taxpayers shouldn't have to sus- tain gold-plated compensation pack- ages for public employees,'' he said. ''My review has shown that the hous- ing authorities that go off the rails count on a lack of transparency to do what they want.'' The senior administration officials said the Los Angeles housing agency has lowered its top compensation to $260,000 and the Philadelphia agency has set its top compensation at $225,000.
