Page 8-A?THE BHUNSWICK BEAC< Curriculum Par Plan To Guide BY TERBY POPE A five-year plan outlining school curriculum, facility and student needs for the future will be developed by School Superintendent Gene Yarhrough if the board of education approves the project at Monday night's meeting. Yarbi'uugh said the outline is needed to guide the school system in iis development, so that in "three years we can say we have developed up to this level, and so on." Improving and expanding an already tightly-organized school curriculum was the topic of a public hearing Monday night at Shallotte Middle School. Only a few parents and teachers attended the hearing tiiat focused on such classroom sub jccts as art, Spanish, human development, summer enrichment courses and the schools' gifted program. Hoard member Doug liaxley said the hearing was not a "mandatory tiling, but an opportunity to receive ideas and suggestioas from the community." "I wish more parents had come out to sec what Is going on in the schools," said board member Jar.e Causey. "Just having someone tell you about it Is different than seeing it lor yourself." Another public hearing was scheduled at Iceland Middle Schooi Tuesday night at 7 p in. with a final public hearing on classroom subjects set for Tuesday, March 5, at 7 p.m. at Soutli Brunswick Middle School. Along with adding new and improved courses to the school curriculum is the need to revamp the vocational programs and science departments, Yurhrough said. Courses that arc state funded will undergo evaluation the same as with courses that now require additional local funds, such as the New Mode! Me program, tie added. Itecently-proposcd changes in the schools' science curriculum can be uCiiivVcd "without h bifj increase in funding of those programs," said Assistant Superintendent Kd lemon. "There ?v?!! he "cmo csirn t!o!!srii volved, but not u tremendous increase."

However, he added it was not a "likelihood that the school system can expand into another language" next year. Shailotte Middie School Principal Mark Owens has discussed adding I-atin as an exploratory course, but filling the teacher's position would be difficult, Yarbrough said. Adding a human develop*!: ent course to teach sex education to elementary or middle school students Is "something this community needs to tell us they want" if it is to be taught in the public schools, I>emon said. Owens said his school sent a survey receniiy to 200 stuucnt homes asking parents if they supported a human development course. If they were interested, it asked if they would be willing to pay $0 to help fund the teacher. "Out of 200, we received 13 positive responses," Owens said. There were no negative respoases, and only the !3 were returned, he said. Greta Saunders, an art instructor at the school, also asked for better art programs in the elementary and middle schools. Students are also being held back by being required to take an introductory art course when entering high school, she said. "This is one area where we will need greater work?arts and fine arts," Yarbrough said. The schools arc currently working with Brunswick Technical College to provide after school courses for students age 16 or older, Yarbrough said. An SAT preparation course has already been added, with BTC willing to fund teachers for other prograins. The courses would provide students with advanced placement in college. Starting next year, the schools' gifted program will also lie expanded to include kindergarten and first grades if approved by the bocrd in the spring, Yarbrough said. The need for full-time health services at each school was pointed out by Owens, who added, "Children don't Just get sick the day the nurse comes, und they don't have problems in?t on Tni?srf?v? ' There's never enoufth money to do everything, he added, but more school our not end i>?ych?loui?t-i ore needed sr, we scnoois.
