Allison and teachers Mrs. Ben Goforth, Miss Jackie Blanton, Mrs. Marilyn Oabanlss and Jerry Hoyle. When that committee was formed, no st4>ulatlan as to length of service was set, Davis said. He said he feels seven years Is too long and proposed a one- year term with the op portunity of being re elected up to three suc cessive years. After a long discussion, the board seemed to agree that committee members should be allowed to serve no more than two suc cessive one year terms and then wait at least two years before becoming eligible again. The committee will be responsible for examining policies concerning cer tificated personnel and making suggestions and recommendations to the board for approval. The committee will not be Involved In policy which has no relationship, to the welfare of cer tificated employes. The committee will consist of one certificated person other than the principal of each school to be elected by the cer tificated membership of the school staff; one principal to be elected by the principal of the school mended that a new policy TIMMS 1/2 PRICE SEH.AHHUM.

Davis said the discipline policy adopted In 1971 "still holds pretty well" but pointed out that several additions be made In regards to corporal punishment. The board of education, he said, should furnish legal assistance to any employe facing legal action and In cases where an employe Is assaulted by a parent or student. Davis said the NCAE professional rights and responsibilities committee now decides when a teacher needs legal assistance but that decision should be with the board of education.
