We are losing %9 Vi classroom slots, if the budget passes as is and put- Si ting 119 teachers on notice. We're losing because of_? : :* decline in enrollment 891 students or 1 teacher of every 10 :j:j students," was the reaction of Eysenbach, who added 1 , that he didn't believe that the end justified the means. "This year, as in years past, we have had classes over ? the state maximum and we're talking about cutting even jj: deeper into that ratio making matters worse," he said. & Anderson called the probable budget cuts, "an unfor- & tunate situation." >tj Things are a bit premature, and we would have to s know more before we could anticipate any action, but I :j:; S am very distressed by the sounds coming from the county :? v commissioners.

According to Father Michael Curry, NAACP education chairperson, if Title I is reduced as recommended by Superintendent Dr. James A. Adams, it will eliminate 96 student participants in the Elementary and Intermediate Reading Laboratory; ~ 150 students in the Junior High Reading Lab; 300 students in the Junior High Math Program and 881 students in High School Mathematics programs. "Nine schools technically categorized as ineligible but legally eligible under continuing eligibility provision of the law, are eliminated from the program. In one school for example, 60.9 percent of the students are considered educationally deprived while 29.36 percent are considered low income. Assuming the federal cut in the program that school would no longer participate in the program," Curry said. In a prepared statement released Tuesday Curry said, "the Annual Evaluation Renort on ? - ?^vaai|/vnmilV/l J Education Programs 1979-80 documented the fact that these programs which are designed to improve reading and mathematics proficiency have enabled student participants to achieve educational progress and, in most cases, achieve significant educational progress.*' He continued, "It is our belief that these compensatory programs which reach out to educationally deprived and low income children in particular in the areas of reading and math, are not ancillary, auxiliary or extra.
