Board Continued from page 1 The board is presently getting es timates on refinishing the gym floor. White said he hoped that refi nishing will adequately fix the rot ten areas and buckles. It would cost over $60,000 to replace the hardwood floors. The gym must also be treated for termites which have invaded the rotting boards. An area that has improved dur ing the year is the attitude and ap titude of student athletes. White forsees the possibility of several students being named to the Albe marle All-Academic football and basketball teams during the 1989-90 school term. The athletic department is now reaching many students through the weight training programs of fered, White said. Pride in the school and commu nity involvement are very impor tant to the success of athletic teams, White told the board. Uni fom and facilities improvements will greatly improve morale and the school's reputation in the con ference, he said. Support from the community lets students know their efforts are appreciated. Curriculum-instruction task force Dr. Martin informed the board that a task force comprised of tea chers, principals and administra tive personnel has been formed, chaired by Assistant Superinten dent Jake Boyce. The purpose of the group is to review graduation requirments, staff development, the academic banquet require ments, discipline policies and other areas of concern. The committee members will form sub-commit tees to research the areas, and will make recommendations to the board by mid-July. Student transfer policy The board received proposed changes to the student transfer pol icy. The policy is being reviewed in order to insure consistency and fairness to all parents requesting transfers within the county system and to other school systems. A review of last year's requests showed that the majority of trans fers were sought due to parents working out of town and day care arrangements. The board felt that the availability of after-school care may alleviate some problems next year. Also discussed were those stu dents who transferred without per mission. The board said they felt increased efforts should be made to identify those students, and to contact the parents informing them that all transfers must be ap proved by the board. Since teaching positions are al lotted by the state according to at tendance, losing students can be a detriment to the system. School calendar change The board voted to amend the school calendar due to the recent snowfall which forced the cancella tion of classes. The last day of school will now fall on June 8. That day, along with June 9, was origi nally scheduled as a teacher work day. Teachers who failed to report to work on the snow day must count it as an annual leave day. Field trip approved An overnight field trip to Kinston for the Hunter Safety team was ap proved. Harrell Thach will chaper one the group. The board asked Dr. Martin to impress upon teachers the impor tance of requesting permission from the board for field trips. Scheduling problems with activity busses have occur ed due to inade quate notification to school offi cials. Board member Mack Nixon also suggested that teachers be asked to stagger field trips throughout the year to avoid trans portation problems. The first system of writing was in vented by the Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia about 3500 B.C. Students at Hertford Grammar School were treated to a dog show last week. In addition to seeing the pomeranians perform, the stu dents got a lesson in how to train dogs. Help make prom night safe For high school students, spring time means prom and graduation celebrations. It can be an impor tant part of your child's high school experience - full of wonderful memories. Unfortunately, proms and grad uations are often associated with alcohol. Drinking and driving con tinues to be the number one killer of American teenagers. Approxi mately 3,000 young people between the ages of 15 - 20 are killed every year because of teenage drinking and driving accidents. In addition, over 200,000 young people suffer traumatic head inju ries every year, most from car ac cidents. Many of these teenagers are left with severe disabilities. "It's a national tragedy," said Dr. Jim Wasco, New Medico Head Injury System Medical Director, who works with head-injured chil dren and adults at New Medico, a national system of rehabilitation facilities. "Our kids simply don't realize the risks they're taking once they get behind the wheel. A severe head injury changes a youngster's life permanently." Discuss the matter with your children. Let them know you want them to enjoy the festivities, but you also care deeply for their safety. Focus the conversation on solutions, not problems. An ideal solution is to help your community organize an all-nighT7 alcohol-free party for the students. "Project Prom-Graduation", sup ported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in Washington, D.C. as well as state highway safety offices, has worked successfully in hundreds of schools across the country. Ideas for an ex citing celebration are endless, but in order to have a truly successful event, make sure the students do the planning themselves. If you live in a state where stu dents may be of legal drinking age, you can use one of the following driving suggestions. -Help you child team up with friends to rent a limousine. -Solicit the driving assistance of an older brother or sister or a re sponsible older neighbor. -Draw up a "contract" with your children whereby they will call you for transportation if they have been drinking. You, in turn, agree to pick them up at whatever hour, no questions asked. If head injury has touched your life and you need further informa tion on head injury or head injury rehabilitation, call the New Medico Head Injury System at 1-800-CARE TBI. "Work with your kids," Dr. Wasco said. "A little extra plan ning can make for a much safer prom and graduation season."
