School Teachers List Concerns From Page 1-A testing and extra-curricular ac- tivities. Suggestions the group feels will improve morale would be the establishment of a policy which would delete the submis- sion of detailed and previously prepared lesson plans to prin- cipals, that the 1983-84 budget be thoroughly .and graphically explained to teachers, that ad- ministrators lessen anxiety and frustration as a result of the new evaluation system, that affir- mative action guidelines be followed in the hiring of minorities, that fund-raising ac- tivities by students and staff be limited to one major activity per year, .and that involuntary workshops and projects be reduced since they interfere with planning time. Mrs. Wells said lesson plans are good but should not have to be presented to principals a week in advance. “Plans are already in the plan book for anyone to look at,” she said. “Turning them in to the principal a week in ad- vance is time consuming. “This is one of the major issues I’ve heard this year,” she continued. “I’ve discussed it with Mr. Davis, four principals and many teachers. Only four teachers didn’t respond to this part of the survey.” Board member Paul Hord said he talked with 15 teachers at Central School and “only two said they didn’t like it and others said it wasn’t too time consum- ing.” Mrs. Wells told Hord “some Cleveland Residents Protest Zoning Change Residents of the Cleveland Avenue area appeared before the City Board of Commissioners Monday night to protest the board’s recent action which will allow a resident to construct a beauty shop in her garage. R.E. Fite, a neighbor of Della . J. Carter Sexton, whose property was rezoned by the board two weeks ago, said he does not ob- " ject to a beauty shop but that the change allows “businesses that have no place in a neighborhood.” City Attorney George - Thomasson advised the board that it would be “improper and illegal” to reverse its decision, and said that Mrs. Sexton’s neighbors had a chance to voice their opinions in a public hearing which was held prior to the zon- ing action. No one spoke in favor or against the request dur- ing the public hearing. But Rev. Jim Singleton, pastor of Grace United Methodist Church, said some of his members sent a letter objecting to the change to the Planning and Zoning Board. He said the Zoning Board “misled” his peo- ple by telling them that the city board could not approve the re- quest. (The Planning and Zoning Board recommended that the re- quest “be denied because it represents “spot” zoning.) Thomasson told the group the P&Z Board is an advisory board only and the City Board is not required to abide by its decisions. In other action Monday, the board: : *Was told by Mayor John Moss that Transco, the city’s natural gas supplier, had asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to approve its decrease of 16.5 cents per decatherm. : * Authorized readvertisement of bids for a pickup truck for the street department. The only bid received was from Wade Ford. *Received four bids for a tren- cher for the gas department. * Authorized advertisement will be recognized. for bids for a pickup service truck for the electrical depart- ment. *Received a request from Mrs. Robert E. Johnson to rezone her property on Waco Road from R-10 to R20. The re- quest was forwarded to the Plan- ning and Zoning Board for its review and recommendation. * Authorized Mayor Moss to file application for a Parks and Recreation Area Development Grant. * High Bid $50,000 From Page 1-A The School Board can reject all bids. Cloninger said if an upset bid is not offered, the School Board will discuss Reynolds’ bid at its next meeting on Mon., May 24. Kings Mountain School System has used Compact only sparingly since Compact con- solidated with Kings Mountain Schools in 1966-67. The buildings were used briefly by the Exceptional Children’s Pro- gam and for a few months dur- ing construction of the new junior high school. Cleveland Tech used part of the buildings for a satellite program during the 1977-78 school year. The gymnasium is presently rent/d by the J.E. Herndon Company of Kings Mountain.

When they turn- ed in their surveys, the surveys didn’t reflect that.” Mrs. Wells said minority teachers feel that “when minori- ty teachers retire, there’s a lessening of the number of minority teachers being hired.” As for the suggestion on fund- raising, Mrs. Wells said the group is not talking about PTO’s, which do a “lot of hard work” but is concerned with the amount of fund-raising done by students in classes such as ‘jour- nalism and annual staffs. Supterintendent Davis said the school board has a policy that requires all fund-raising ac- tivities by students be approved first by the board, but in most cases, the groups do not get ap- proval. Patti Weathers, a teacher at Central, suggested that schools be allowed to have one major fund-raising activity each year and that each individual depart- ment such as journalism and an- nual staff “do their thing” that WESTERN night. She said Central already does that and it has worked out fine. “'"“To improve’ discipline, the association requested that elementary students have access to regular professional counsel- ing and encourages the use of quality in-school suspension pro- grams at all levels within the system. In suggestions directed to the superintendent, the group re- quested that some principals be required to delete their require- ment that teachers submit ad- vance lesson plans to them for perusal, that all vacancies in teaching positions be publicized before being filled, and that all administrators have a degree in the area in which they are work- ing. The group commended Davis and the boad for their efforts to improve facilities and the educa- tion program.
