Pnoi* 9.A TMf nui'Mcwirk' uir \ r - ?n- ' School B BY SUSAN USHER Brunswick County school board members took their first look Monday night at tentative attendance area boundaries lor a new primary school to be built in the Suppiy area. The school would generally serve students in grades K-5 in the Holden Beach. Varnamtown, Supply, Royal Oak and Sunset Harbor areas. It is expected to reduce overcrowding at three schools, allowing room for continued growth in the southern attendance district. It would also reduce the time spent commuting by bus for some students, according to Bill Turner, assistant to the superintendent. He estimated that, based on current attendance rates and projections, the school would draw an estimated :?!H) students from grades K-3 ;it Union Primary School, 192 from the fourth and fifth grades at Shallotte Middle School and 73 from Southport Primary School, grades K-5. It would have a projected capacity of 500 students. "We welcome comments regarding the boundaries," noted member Doug Baxle>. " t hese are not carved in stone." Under the scuOOt system s proposed 10-year facility needs plan, the land for the new school couid be purchased as early as by the end of the 1987-80 school year and construction could be slated during the 1988-1989 school year. Projected costs are $230,000 for land and s.*.. >' million lor the structure. A committee of board members and staff have started "driving" the Supply area looking for suitable sites. Turner added, with the possibility of announcement soon. As for the 10-vear facility needs plan, board members revised it Monday night to reflect an additional $5 million in state funds that may be made available by the General Assembly for school capital outlay niirnoenc A *?/ ?# I* f'9 tilt.?.? * 1 piii puaua. /AIIUVIICI CIO 11)1 IIIun IltiU aiready been projected for Brunswick County schools from local sales taxes distributions. The plan adopted Monday was pending approval by the county commissioners, who were to review the pian today (ThursdayI. Also, it can be amended and priorities adjusted at any time. Chairman James Forstner assured board member Dot Worth. AIDS Policy Set Board members unanimously approved an AIDS policy for the school system, noting that it could be revised as needed. Forstner said he wanted to see the schools move on into educating students, staff and the public about AIDS and its transmission. As revised, the policy no longer includes references to communicable diseases. What it dees include are provisions for a committee of professionals to decide whether a student or stall member witn Aius or the aIDSrelated virus should remain in school, based on the risk present. Board attorney Glen Peterson adRash Of Hor Reported At After discovering a series of home breaK-ins over iiie weekend, Uie Holden Beach Police Department has stepped up patrols. According to Chief Raymond Simpson, 12 break-ins were discovered Saturday and Sunday at vacation homes located between the 100 and 300 blocks of Brunswick Street and on Ocean Boulevard West near Brunswick Street. Property was stolen from at ieast seven of the houses. Simpson said thieves gained entry into the houses by breaking out windows or by kicking open doors. The break-ins were discovered by passers-by and police who noticed the damaged windows and doors. o HALLO TTK r CLEANERS MONDAY-FRIDAY 7-6 SATURDAY 8-1 754.4435 DOWNTOWN SHALLOTTE L , t m 'HV TUiipi-?Ioi> Inminrt' 1.1 IQUti , ? llul.luujt uuiihwi t -? ? ioard Looks A vised that the policy meets current guidelines, but may liave to be revised as more AIDS-related cases are heard in the courts. Added Forstner, "I'll tell you at some point we will deal with a student with AIDS. For every one you know about there are 10 you don't." Motion Killed The board killed a travel policy almost as quickly as it had approved the AIDS policy. Forstner refused to break a 2-2 tie vote on the policy proposed by member Doug Baxley, saying, "I don't have to vote if I don't want to."

It was the policy's second reading. "I'm not trying tc impose any straight jacket, but I think it is important for us to take a look at these trips before they are over." he said. However, members Dot Worth and Marvin McKeithan, who voted against the motion, said they didn't like the way it was worded. "It has never been abused that I know of except when Superintendent Eugene Yar'oorough took three principals to Anaheim (Calif.) and reported it afterwards." Forstner said he thought the wording vague, partly because it doesn't specify travel financed by the board or spending limits. "I think it will come up again in the next few months," he predicted. Following the vote, members James Clemmons and Baxley, who voted for the policy, questioned Forsiner's obligation to vote unless granted an abstention, and directed board attorney Glen Peterson to investigate and report at their next meeting.

Approved a consent agenda of minor items of business such as school trips by consenus, rather than motion, with Chairman James Forstner noting that parliamentary procedure is to make the system work smoothly, "not to hit somebody over the head" with rules. Heard from Turner that construction at Iincoln and Union primary schools has still not been completed, with contractors on warning to complete the Union punch list or else "the board would have to take some kind of action." Received reports from Finance Officer Elaine Shappell on the closing date of Jan. 7 for upset bids on eight lots for sale by the board in Pender County, the quarterly finance report, on attorney fees and monthly budget revisions that included an additional $112,000 in state funds for various items, including trie exceptional children's program.
