by no means are they all that
we'll be doing,” Davis said. “We
plan to establish some form of
special recognition for elemen-
tary children who excel in
scholarship.”
3) - Plan to articulate gains
made in reading in grades K-7 to
grades 8-12. Davis said in-service
training for junior high teachers
will help accomplish that goal.

in administration of School
Board policies. Davis said he is
working with the N.C. School

policies and recommending addi-

Public Relations Advisory Com-
mittee, continue providing an-
nual reports to the people and
revise the school brochure.

learning time because of disrup-
tions during the school day. He
said early dismissal for students
at the high school will be
eliminated, except for co-op
work students, each principal
will emphasize good attendance
and minimize announcements,
and will reduce pullouts of
students for other activities.

highs, articulate more effectively
the sports programs and other
extra curricular activities with
the academic program.
8) - Work on improving the
School Board policy manual.

suggested by the recent State Ac-
creditation Study. Davis said the
system is developing a compéten-
cy based study for all areas of
curriculum.

cedures. Davis said he is study-
ing recommendations by the Na-
