The Brunswick County Board of
Education placed its 1985-86 budget
on the chopping block Monday night,
cutting away increases and programs
totaling $293,440 in local funds
that were not allocated to the school
B system.
Even with the cuts in current ex
pense, the schools' $4.1 million
allocation from the county is still
about an 8 percent increase over last
year's budget, said School Business
(Manager Samuel Adcock. The
schools had requested $4,423,440 in
current expense from the county for
the 1985-86 fiscal year.
I The board unanimously approved
its final budget resolution Monday
-night which calls for receiving
$4,130,000 from the county for
operating expenses, $422,660 in

H Students at all Brunswick County
schools next year must be in class at
8:15 a.m. instead of 8:30 a.m. or they
must explain to their teachers why
they are tardy.
School bells will ring earlier when
all schools open next month so
students will have at least five hours
and 30 minutes of instructional tune
each day as mandated by the state.
Last year, students in grades K-8
went to school from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30
p.m. while students in grades 9-12
went to school from 8:30 a.m. to 2:40
Starting in September, students in
grades K-8 will attend school from
8:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. while grades
9-12 will attend from 8:15 a.m. to 2:50
School Assistant Superintendent
Ed l>emon said the longer school
days are needed in order to follow the
state guidelines adopted in the
:ji "Basic Education Program" in October
1984. The Brunswick County
Board of Education adopted the extended
hours Monday night.
The board also approved a list of
. "exploratory courses" for middle
school students that will be available

become available.
"It represents a cut from our request,
but also represents funds
we've never had," Adcock said, of
the $293,440 cut in the budget.
Sliced from the budget was $36,896
in local teacher supplement increases,
leaving teachers with the
same supplements they had in
1984-85, Adcock said.
A secretary for the finance department
at the central office was also
cut from the budget, saving $11,152.
Other cuts were made in individual
school supplies, $8,000; teacher inservice
workshops, $2,232; principal
and assistants in-service, $7,700;
library books, $5,000; computer

In the four-hour meeting that included
two executive sessions, one
for personnel and another for a student
hearing, the board began
preparing for the 1985-86 school year.
The board met behind closed doors
for IVi hours with a student from
Shallotte Middle School and his
grandparents concerning an incident
that occurred at the school last year.
Principal Mark Owens also met with
the board in executive session.
At an earlier meeting, the board
directed Superintendent Gene Yarbrough
to investigate the incident
hat inolnrioH a fiohf of fho cnKnnl mvl
led to the student being expelled. The
board asked that Yarbrough report
back to the board at a later date. No
action was taken on the matter by the
board Monday.
Another 35-minutc executive session
was held to discuss personnel
before approving all recommendations
presented by Assistant
Superintendent Stephanna Tewey, in
charge of personnel.
Exploratory Courses
Next year, middle school students
will be allowed to take 12-week exploratory
courses that includes
photography, drama, animal
anatomy, video productions,
rocketry and computcronics.
1 ,cmon naid the courncH give
students "an opportunity to explore
other courses at a time when
students should start making choices
about their futures."
Board member Doug Baxley voted
against adding the programs, adding,
"I'm concerned about squeezing
something else that has traditionally
been considered more imoortant."
I -emon said the teachers were
surveyed in the spring to determine
what their interests were and what
the teachers thought they could teach
as exploratory courses. Lemon added
that the courses will not change
the classroom schedule, which inG

tremendous impact on teachers. If ^
effective methods are taught to
teachers, then achievement levels
among students should rise, he said.

with more forms" for teachers.
"1 really want to know what effect 1
it's going to have on those boys and
