Board Of Education Makes San Francisco Meeting Plans The Hoke County Board of Education discussed their trip to the National School Boards Meet ing in San Francisco, Ca., April 9-13, in their regular meeting Monday night. Expenses for the five board members will be paid for by the county through a section of the budget set aside for school board expenses. G. Raz Autry, school superinten dent, said $7,000 was set up in the budget for school board expenses for this year. Autry expressed that the budget pays only for the members of the board and if their wives go along on the trip, their expenses are paid for separately by each member out of their "own pocket". He said the cost of the plane tickets for the five board members will be about $345 each and hotel accommodations for their stay would probably reach $840. He indicated members' meals will also be paid for through the expense account. "The total expense for the five board members will be approxi mately $3,000. This does not include expenses for their wives or for me," said Autry. He said he was on a separate expense account paid for by the state. "This is an annual thing and we figure if we can learn from the meetings and experts there to improve our system, two or three thousand dollars per year is not that much," he said. Autry said the board members are paid a salary of $50 per month and many of them take the money and put it back in the system. He said the meeting was in Miami, Fla. last year. In other board business, Leslie Frahm was aoproved to finish the school year teaching at Upchurch Middle School. Frahm will replace Mrs. Georgia Garner who will be taking a leave of absence. Harrison Southerland was ap proved to be hired for lunchroom work within the system. The board passed a motion to accept standard policies for selec tion of instructional materials, as long as the standards were kept under close supervision. Autry explained that this system would simplify the selection and cut down on problems of questionable reading and study material for students. The policy includes provisions for a citizen's request for recon sideration of educational media. The board passed a motion to allow Mrs. Georgia Garner to take a six month leave of absence. Autry explained to the board that Mrs. Garner and her husband had recently adopted a baby and according to the adoption rules, she would not be allowed to work for one year. The board decided to grant her six months leave of absence under the same conditions of pregnancy and write supportive letters of the situation involving her position with the school to the adoption agency in hopes that she will be allowed to return to work earlier. The board discussed the possible future use of the Citizen's Reading Committee's help with the school system. The board approved a motion to make Mrs. Rhenda Cameron the new coordinator of the exceptional children program replacing Mrs. Betsy Sloan who is taking a leave of absence. Mrs. Cameron will take over Feb. 15, and finish the school year at the position. A bid was approved from Jack Ellis tur all food wastes from all eight lunchrooms in the Hoke County System. The bid was S301. The board approved 12 people as substitute teachers until August. They were: Mary Jo Lovette, Delores Jones, Carolyn Purcell, Carlene McDowell, Jack McGinnis, Jane McMillan, Eva Carpenter, Ruth Dudley, Annie Ellison, Helen Parks. Geraldine Munn, and Linda Miller.
