BY MARY BARBER TinwiSttnWrlttr Continuing its recent practice of questioning and toppling traditions, the Board of Education has now postponed designating the superintendent of schools as secretary to the Montebello Unified School District board. At the time it argued that point, the board also reorganized itself in defiance of custom, The only predicted outcome of the last meeting was the unanimous election of Art Velarde, in his second year as a member, to the presidency. The question of Supt. Warren Linville's Irole as secretary to the board was postponed to an adjourned meeting called for tonight at 7:30 in the school district office at 123 S.

He was elected in March. "We began the meeting with the decision not to carry out the traditional rotation procedure," Payan said in a later interview. "We decided, in a 3-2 vote, that it was time to elect board officers as true representatives of the board," he said.

"Then we were asked to designate the superintendent as secretary. Thi3 recommendation tells me that apparently there are other options available. "If board policy and the superintendent's contract call for him being secretary, why vote on something that's; already been decided? If it's already decided I want to know, and I don't want to be asked to be a rubber stamp." Payan asked for an additional week for study to find out if the superintendent's position as secretary to the board is required by the district, county, 'stateoreducationcodes. Since the position is spelled out in Linville's contract, he undoubtedly will continue as board secretary. However, a county counsel representative has been asked to attend tonight's meeting to spell out the law and the duties of that office.

There are three other positions that require the board's approval which were also, postponed. They include designating an acting superintendent and assistant secretary to the board in the absence of the superintendent, and an interdistrict agent for the boari Following Velarde's election as board president, retiring president Eleanor Chow called for the election of vice president and clerk of the board to take place in individual votes.
