He questioned the board's decision to block the closed meeting that was to have taken place tonight because none of the' board members fully understand the proposal. Board member Anthony Donofrio said he has had dealings with management companies before. "The first three months, they do a great job.

Then they cut corners and there's nothing you can do about it once you are under contract. "It's not as rosy as it seems," Donofrio said, adding that he was not talking about Servicemaster specifically but management companies in general. Carol Benton, who moved for the cancellation of tonight's meeting, said the board carefully questioned Servicemaster about the loss of jobs but was assured no more jobs would be eliminated than through normal attrition. Mrs. Benton said, however, she wants that assurance from the board's attorney as well.

calls for a cut of 12 staff members during the first year. Tremper suggested passing along copies of the Servicemaster package to the workers involved to solicit their opinion. He suggested that tonight's meeting with Servicemaster representatives be canceled in order to give the workers and their supervisors a chance to meet first with the board. Robert J. Roblenski, another board member, said the board does not want to vote on the package now.

He assured workers that Servicemaster has not been brought in to eliminate any jobs. "Be assured, this board is not going to do anything to hurt people," Roblenski said. Alan Cohen, a resident, asked whether the board has contacted other districts that have similiar service agreements with Servicemaster to ask if school officials elsewhere are satisfied with the service. Such a survey, however, would only be worthwhile if it focused on school districts of similar size, Cohen said. Williams said he has queried five other H- f- BRICK TOWNSHIP Custodians and maintenance workers in the schools are concerned that being placed under an outside management company could cost them jobs.

The Board of Education is considering the proposal of Servicemaster Industries Downers Grove, to manage custodial and maintenance services for the district. The management company says it could save the district $265,000 during three years, said board Vice President Arthur S. Williams Jr. About 20 of the district's 130 maintenance and custodial workers turned out at the board meeting last night, but many left when they were told Servicemaster's proposal would not be discussed. The board, however, did discuss how to proceed with making its decision in the matter.

It voted to cancel a meeting, originally scheduled for tonight, of the board's Building and Grounds Committee with Servicemaster representatives and school and maintenance administrators. Instead, the full board will meet first with school administrators and maintenance officials and its attorney to discuss Servicemaster's proposal in more detail. Hector Levanti, head custodian for Brick High School, said after the meeting that his co-workers are concerned over the possible lose of jobs under the independent company. "I find I am confused," Levanti said by the board's discussion of how to face the issue. "I'm a common person and not familiar with the structure" of how board meetings are conducted.

Levanti said he would be more comfortable in a less formal atmosphere with the board. "As a taxpayer, everybody wants to do a little better job if given the opportunity," he said. Board member Harold Tremper also said he was concerned with the possibility of lost jobs.
