WADDELL Mrs. Waddcll was selected by co-workers for her outstanding service to the Board Tackles Personnel, Policies Brunswick County Board of Edu cation members spent two and a half hours behind closet! doors Monday discussing "personnel concerns" in a continuation of their Feb. 3 meeting. Returning to open session shortly before 9 p.m., the board approved a routine personnel action list and two student trips, then adjourned. Saturday, the board met in a poli cy workshop with principals, dis cussing concerns about attendance and other matters. "It was a great, relaxed meeting," said board mem ber Polly Russ. "They said it was worth taking their time for on a Saturday." .. "Their conccm is attendance," she said. "The 20-day rule is a problem." On its 1990 and 1991 report carus, liie school sysicut caiuc up just short of the state's attendance standards and is looking for ways to improve. But the answers aren't coming easily, relating to student discipline issues and even requirements for graduation. Under current policy students who miss 20 days of school are cither re tained or get no credit. Once a stu dent has missed his or her maximum number of days, attendance suffers because there is no longer incentive to continue attending classes. Some principals are also turning to greater use of suspensions with liie uOaiu's icCciii prohibition on corporal punishment. But suspen sions can result in a student missing more than 20 days of school. Board members and central office staff arc looking at alternatives that could include make-up days on Saturdays, after school or in summer school. Amung other proposals, a policy committee had recommended no re tentions at the kindergarten level, a proposal the full board suggested be looked at again. Other changes in policy reflect housekeeping needs, such as the move to two-year terms for school board members.

Resort Plaza, Shallotte 919-754-6199 Detective Finds No Evidence Of Sexual Activity In Class Two separate investigations have failed to turn up any evidence sub stantiating rumors of alleged sexual misconduct by students in a South Brunswick High School classroom. "After spending all day out there I can't substantiate that anything happened," Brunswick County Sheriff's Juvenile Detective Nancy Simpson said last week. " It is my opinion that the allegation was based on rumors." She spent a day on the Boiling Spring Lakes campus interviewing students who were allegedly involved in the incident and other students who were in the classroom during the same period. All denied seeing or hearing any sexual activity. "There was nothing sexual that happened," she concluded. "It was all hearsay. Some kids were cutting up and the rumors got out of hand." She traccd the rumors to a joking comment made after a student spilled hand lotion on the floor of the classroom. If she had found evidence of any actual wrongdoing, the detcctive said she would have mate arrests and had advised the school system of that in advance. Rumors circulated in the county that in a ninth grade class on Jan. 24 a girl sal on tiie lap of a student athlete during class and the two reported ly engaged in some type of sexual activity. The rumors spread quickly throughout the school attendance district, prompting one concerned parent to address the school board at its Feb. 3 meeting. Brunswick County Schools conducted its own investigation and found no subsiancc to the rumors, but called in the sheriff's department to help make sure its findings were correct and to get an unbiased opinion, said Ms. Simpson. * \ , \\ /;i* ; V) > i v -r ; - ? .1 Down Under Restaurant % 'i< Valentine's (D ay Ti??k JrA' "Dinner offering : iVine and ftozvers for the Ladies RESERVATIONS WELCOME (803)249-5110 Winter Hours: Lunch-Tuesday thru Saturday 11-3 Dinner-Wednesday thru Saturday 6-930 Hwy. 17 and McCorsley Avenue, Little River, SC J r*^i: /d LfCll/DittVCl y Hwy 17 Shallotte, NC Deli/Bakery Open 6am-6pm 'for special orders, party trays, cakes, etc...
