Page 18-A?THE BRUNSWICK BEAC Board Adopl 1985-86 Scho Students will continue to receive their report cards every six weeks rather than every nine weeks in the fall, the Brunswick County Board of Education decided last Thursday night. The school board tentatively approved a six weeks calendar that includes 180 instructional school days, said School Superintendent Gene Yarbrough. Col. William Eaught, president of the Bruaswick County Chapter of the North Carolina Association of tsaucators, saia me calendar is a compromised version of an earlier nine weeks plan submitted by the teachers. Approximately 80 percent of the teachers earlier voted for a nine weeks grading system rather than a six weeks plan. "We're in agreement with it," Kaught said Thursday. "As it stands, it's as good of a school calendar as we can make it." Kaught said some of the principals felt a nine weeks calendar used before did not work, so an alternative six weeks calendar was presented. After board member Marvin McKeithan questioned why students uiu inn nave ii .m iihii uii uuy vacation listed on the calendar, administrators agreed to present the calendar only as a tentative version, with room for changes. According to the tentative calendar, school would begin in the fall on Sept. 2 and end on June 1.1. Holidays would Include Nov. 11 for Veteran's Day; Nov. 28-29 for Thanksgiving; Dec. 23-Jan. .')

Graduations would be held as follows: North Brunswick High, June 11; South Brunswick, June 12 and West Brunswick, June 13. In other business last week, the board agreed to traasfer by nonwarranty deed the old Waccamaw school building to the county for use as a community building. The building is adjacent to the Waccamaw Township District Park behind the Waccamaw Elementary School. At its Feb. 4 meeting, the board agreed to contact County Manager Billy Carter about deeding the building to the county so the Brunswick County Parks and Recreation Department can restore it lor public asc. "I've had the opportunity to go there and look at the building," board member Douglas Baxley said. "I have also been contacted by a number of people in the area who hope to have the building used actively for community affairs." With school board attorney E.J. Prevattc absent, Baxley, a Shallotte attorney, recommended the board approve a non-warranty deed to the county. Baxley said he did not think Prevattc would recommend that the board issue a warranty deed of trust to the county for the building. lion Wagon ?nr ?V?a? l/ti/Z/tf 15 I l/f VIIUCI Co iml a nk CARS i to $6395/ "78 BuicK Century Wagon tot ow+ti 64 OOO ?tp<uJ m\t\ $2795?? fS Tow MONTHLY ) 7 PAYMENTS! r *- ^ 1 - ? 82 Pontiac Bonneville Wagon <W? ??m IS WO K'Vtv *6395?? -- - * "** 16 foot Boat and Motor *1495??
