Robertson pointed out that his street has not been improved in 27 years and the drainage pipes underneath the roads are filled. Two others, however, said the council has a duty to fulfill the wishes expressed by the people in a referendum and hold an election for two new council members. "The people told you what they wanted and you ignored them," Mrs. Juanita Brown chided the council members. Johnny Carruth said that some of the council members and the news media have tried to tie the single-member district issue to the election of the additional council members. "We have an issue that is very simple. Our code in that book (Landrum ordinances) states 16,1992 that we are to have an election at-large; it states it plainly," Carruth said. - Carruth said he believes sin gle-member districts would tear Landrum apart and that true representation won't be accom plished. The council is only tying the single-member district issue with the addition of councilmen to stall, Carruth said, adding that he believes the council has a power base that it doesn't want to give up. "If you want to give Landrum representation and fast, you will do what the lawyers advised you to do," Carruth said. C. Wharton Turner Retires (Continued from Front Page) a college level administrative position. Al Guthrie was hired as audi tor for the 1991-92 financial records.

His older sister is already a stu dent at Tryon. Geoffrey Balkan) voted against the transfer motion. The school board unani mously released Katherine and David Byrd, rising second grader and kindergartner, to the Hendersonville City Schools. Their mother, Helen Byrd, teaches in the year-round pro gram in the Hendersonville City Schools and their father Jeff Byrd is editor of the Tryon Daily Bulletin, which causes year round day care problems for the family, Supt. James Causby explained. C. Wharton Parent Involvement Plays Major Role In Student 4-Year Plan Most parents of rising ninth graders have shown interest in helping their child through the new high school curriculum, the Polk County Board of Education learned Monday. About two-thirds of the par ents of both Tryon Elementary and Polk Central eighth graders have attended registration meetings, Associate Supt. Susan S. Leonard reported. Saluda Sth graders and their parents will meet with administrators Thursday morn ing. As part of its new curricu lum plan, Polk County Schools arc asking 7th and Sth graders to develop a four-year high school education plan, Leonard said. Parents arc key players in the process. "The major component is parent involvement," Leonard said. "Parental attitudes were very positive at both schools. There were a few questions and concerns we answered." Most parents' questions con cerned whether or not the 10, 11th and 12th grade students would be missing out on the OBE curriculum. Leonard said she explained that the upper grades will have the same new’ schedule as the ninth grade (periods 1-3 one day and 4-6 the next), the same new teach ing strategy and new course offerings, just as the ninth graders. Questions were also directed to the Applied Academics pro gram. Leonard said parents were, pleased with this local version of the national Tech Prep movement. Tlicy liked the fact that students will be able to take a mix of college prep and Applied Academics courses, Leonard pointed out. For the first time ever, stu dents will have their schedules a couple of weeks before school is out, Leonard said. Scheduling problems can be ironed out before school is out instead of after classes start the following fall. Dr. Willard Da here again in the K will be a answer parents' questions, Leonard said. Dr. Daggett, the consul tant helping Polk design a new curriculum, will next visit Polk County Schools June 2 and 3 to help develop the student advo cate program, she added. The student advocate pro gram is going to be critical to the long term success of the c ™ cu lum," Leonard said. Teachers have presently com pleted three out of five two-dav work sessions on teaching strategy and instructional ways o implement the new cunicu- lum, she pointed out. C.
