Decline In Warren County Non-Public Shool Pupils Non-public school enrollment in Warren County declined last year despite the fact that such enrollment was reported up statewide. Figures on non public school enrollment, compiled by the N. C. Department of Public Instruction, showed that 55.242 students were enrolled in 1976^77, an increase of more than 1,000 students over the previous year. In Warren County, a loss of 15 students was experienced during the same period. Warren's non public school population fell from 245 in 1975-76 to 230 this year. Total non public school enrollment continues to represent about four percent of the total student population in North Carolina which is roughly 1.2 million students. There are generally two types of non-public schools, according to Calvin Criner, nonpublic school consultant for the State Board of Education, sectarian and non-sectarian schools. Sectarian schools are those controlled directly or indirectly by a church or an individual acting on behalf of a church or sectarian body. All other non-public schools fall into the non-sectarian category. A non-public school must be approved by the State Board of Education in order for the students attending that school to satisfy the State mandatory attendance law, Criner emphasized. If, for example, a student is attending a school not Passing Winter Gives Rise To Hardship Tales By BARBARA COOKE Winter. Our grandmothers told us that this was the way it used to be. zf.i we win tell our grandchildren. We will tell them that it was a winter of wood chopping and wood burning, of water pipes freezing and zero degree weather, of an energy crisis and thermostats turned back, of school closings and cars that wouldn t run, of pneumonia and flu and sky-rocketing bills, of wearing extra sweaters and sleeping under extra quilU, of snow and ice and bitter cold. It was a winter of cancelled plans , meetings and trips. It was a long, isolated, frozen winter. It was also a winter of valuable lessons —lessons of sharing, helping and reaching out. It was a winter of community unity and neighborly love as we bundled up and toted water and wood, as we met in homes instead of impersonal buildings, and as our families spent evenings by the fire. But it will be all over Saturday night. Quietly the winter of 1977 will slip into memory and with the dawning of Sunday, it will be Spring. Spring, at last. Hallelujah! But in the warmth and beauty, let's remember the lessons of winter—of sacrifice, coping and giving. That would really be something to tell our grandchildren about. approved by the SUte Board of Education, the parent* of that student are in violation of the Compulsory Attendance Art. In order to be approved, a non public school must meet five major criteria. The school must be under the jurisdiction of a responsible administrative authority with an organization substantially the same as that of public schools. The course of study must be equal to or substantially the same as that provided children of corre spending age and grade in public schools. Teachers must oe certified in accordance with he law governing public school teachers. Instructional materials. including textbooks, must be substantially equal to materials provided for public schools. And physical facilities must be adequately equipped and approved by appropriate state agencies as to health and safety. A non-public school which is approved may not necessarily be accredited. Criner added. To be approved, the school must meet the minimum require ments defined by the Constitu Hon, the General Statutes, and rules and regulations of the Mate Board of Education. An accredited school, public or non public, exceeds the minimum standards and meets certain standards of excellence p m e? by the Apartment of Public Instruction. Henderson Man Given Road Post J- L.
