board of education members Monday I

The grant is one of two announced

The Brunswick County Board of
Health Monday endorsed a Hickory
health care firm's proposal to build a
$1.4 million nursing home facility
near Supply,
The action was taken at the board's
regular monthly meeting Monday
night in Bolivia, according to Health
Department administrative assistant
Kay Moore.
Board members on hand for the
Hi-hour meeting included Marilyn
Boehm, Pearly Vereen, George
Clemmons, Jerry Lewis, Frankie
Rabon, Ricky Parker, Carolyn
Hankins and Fred Lesh. Chairman
Bill Rabon, Arthur Knox and John
Maaison were aoseni.
Moore said the board's unanimous
endorsement of a state application by
Highland Health Care of Hickory Inc.
for GO nursing home beds in
Brunswick County followed a presentation
by company Vice President
Charles Trefzger.
Highland Health Care has proposed
to build a 25,000-square-foot,
80-bed residential care facility on
four acres owned by Lesh adjacent to
The Brunswick Hospital. The application
is one of two from
Brunswick County.
A company identified as
Brunswick Cove Inc. also has applied
to the Division of Facility Services
for the 60 nursing home beds, with
two proposals to build either in New
Hanover County or Supply, also near
to the hospital. One of the principals
with Brunswick Cove is David Sherrill
of Leland.

Is To Offer
John Harrison, assistant
superintendent for curriculum, said
the childcare program would offer
"more than babysitting," including
opportunities for remedial and
enrichment learning and recreation.
One requirement of the grant is
that the school charge for the service.
Preliminary plans call for
charging local parents $5 per week
for their first child and $8 for two or
more children. Federal free-lunch
program guidelines will be used to
determine which students qualify for
"scholarships," he added, noting
that children whose families cannot
afford to pay will be accepted in the
program.

duty and pay.
While most board members and
educators present didn't question the
benefit of the program, at least one
board member, James Clemmons,
questioned whether teachers want or
need the extra work.
However, at several schools
teachers are already supervising
early arrivals, without pay. At Union
Primary School, for example, Tom
Simmons said teachers rotate the
responsibility, each taking it for one
week. AtSouthport Elementary, said
Ann Hines, one or two teachers have
already accepted the responsibility
and would be glad to get paid for it.
"It's a big problem," she added.
"We're all concerned about them being
there unsupervised."

Simmons added, "We have a lot of
teachers who arrive at 7:30 because
they want to work. It's really
frustrating for them to have these
early morning duties. If you want to
help the teachers, take away those
extra duties."
Early Intervention
Board of Education members also
heard about another grant aimed at
helping younger children. Associate
Superintendent P.R. Hankins said a
federal Chapter 1 mini-grant of $4,400
will be used to establish a model intervention
program at Lincoln
Primary School.
"We think some of our students are
at risk at a very early age," he said.
"We want to zero in on this as early
as possible."

The project will involve training
staff and faculty in early identificalion
of students who are likely to do
poorly in school or drop out. Indicators,
Hankins said, include
evidence of educational deprivation,
such as the high percentage of
students eligible for Chapter 1 programs
in math and language, and
identified deficiencies in language
development among first graders.
Parent involvement and education
will be a key element of the program,
which aims to reduce the number of
students who fail and the number
who qualify for Chapter 1 programs.
If the Lincoln model appears to be
a good approach, he added, the
system will try to implement it in
other schools.
