Durham Cityl School Board Adopts Plan For Revitalization ByTRELLIE LJEFFERS Hammonds' Suggestions Endorsed By Committee James Alexander, Jr., promotion manager: I feel that the U.S. should count on its allies to help in the situation in Iran. If these countries take economic sanctions on Iran as did the U.S., then the Iranian militants and government will be forced to make af firmative action toward the release of the hostages. William E. Hawkins, financial analyst: It is about time that America stops playing the role of the Diplomatic Gentle Giant. It should now be evi dent that the Ayatollah is not a man of sane reason. A show of force is now our last alternative. i ti y v J " k: JRV ft JIM awu s ff I 1 it. f xx a E J 4 Edward Elijah, security guard: I think the right thing was done when the U.S. put an embargo on imported and exported goods to Iran. Derrick Ellington, NCCU student: In order to save the hostages, America should, try to pay a ran-' some so that the hostages will be set free. I think thats the best way since the Iranians said they would kill at the first sign of military force. Chapel Hill-Carboro School District Gets SYEP Awards RALEIGH -The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School District received a plaque signed by U.S. Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall recently as the outstanding project in the 1979 Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) sponsored by the N.C. Division of Com munity Employment. Presented by Natural Resources and Communi ty Development Secretary Howard N. Lee, the award was given for the district's program for economically disadvantag ed youths under the Com prehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). "This project is a real example of what CETA is for," Secretary Lee said. "We are proud of what was accomplished by the district in raising the lear ning levels of the students in the program." Dr. Charles Rivers, assistant superintendent of the district, accepted ,the award for the CETA Title IV program which was judged the best in the 91 dpunties under the divi sion's Balance of State direction. William Calhoun, direc tor of the division, also saluted the program as pne which "raised the competency level of the students. It benefited the tutors and the elementary pupils, Those in the pro gram learned to become leaders-one of our goals in the CETA program." The 33 youths involved in the program tutored the elementary students at Glenwood Elementary School in Chapel Hill. Ap proximately fifteen teachers served as super visors. In addition to the tutoring, the students were given counseling, job placement talks and resume writing. Their competency levels were greatly raised by the ex perience, Dr. Rivers reported. In" assessing the pro gram, the staff wrote: "In the academic en vironment of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area, the 33 participants, through CETA, experienced a tru ly professional work op portunity which otherwise would not have been available to them. This early exposure, while in high school, not only sharpened their reading and math skills, but made available information about future career . possibilities in the area of1 education. The unique j supervisor-tutor , ratio helped make the program i more effective. The tutors, serving as role models for the elementary children, gain self confidence, not only per sonally, but intellectually as their academic skills were sharpened. The level of excellence achieved was also a result of the intense support of the teacher supervisor and project personnel. The en thusiasm of the teachers Continued On Page 8 The Durham City Board of Education adopted Dr. Cleveland Hammonds' recommendation A Monday night, April 14, as a revitali zation plan to effect some major changes in the sys tem's pupil assignment plan, some to begin as early as the fall of 1980. Reccommendation A, a plan consisting of . recom mendations from a commit tee appointed by the board to study the present pupil assignment program and Dr. Hammonds' own sugges tions had been endorsed by the Durham City Chamber of Commerce Task Force committee on education and the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People. Under the new attend ance plan, the following changes are to take place: - By tl fall of 1980, all elementary schools will return to a K-6 curriculum except Lake wood, R.N. Harris, East End and Club Boulevard. Lakewood will include K-3, and the multi-handicapped com patible to these grades will be fed into EJC. Powe. Harris will include the same grades to be fed into Burton; East End and Club Boulevard will be paired. - The School Board will appoint a committee of school staff, parents and citizens to study the Middle School Concept and its characteristics in order that a decision can be made in 1981 to abandon or adopt the concept. If the middle school is adopted, an ele mentary school will be closed; if the junior high school is maintained, a junior high school will be closed. - By 1983, the City Schools System will operate will operate its senior high school on two campuses (9-10 and 11-12). The de cision on grade assignment at the two existing senior high schools has not been made. School board chairman Mrs. Josephine D. Clement expressed thanks to the Durham community for its many suggestions during the lengthy period required to make a decision on the plan and she praised Dr. Hammonds for his effec tiveness in getting the job completed. Mrs. Clement said, "It has been a long and detailed procedure. Four teen months ago this was attempted, but it did not get off the ground. Dr. Hammonds came and moved forward on this matter." A parent from C.C. Spaulding Elementary School, Mrs. Leah Wise however, was very dissatis fied with Dr. Hammonds' recommendations. After her unsuccessful attempt to interrupt the board during its voting procedure on the plan, she distributed memos to board members, as they left their seats to go into executive session to discuss personnel matters. A few , minute, beforethe. board meeting adjourned for the night, Mrs. Wise said that she wanted to speak to get "my concerns and the con cerns of parents in my district" in the open. She said that her purpose for coming to the meeting was to ask the board to post pone voting on a plan until parents had time to fully understand it. Mrs. Clement invited Mrs. Wise to speak pri vately with her on Mrs. Wise's concerns. On other matters, the board approved the text book adoption from the Curriculum Committee and the recommendation for personnel for the 1980-81 school year.
