September 13, 1984 School Enrollment Up Kings Mountain schools ex- pect to receive state funds to cover the salaries of two teachers, Superintendent Bill Davis told the Board of Educa- tion at its monthly meeting Monday night at the School Ad- ministration Building. Kings Mountain’s enrollment after the first 10 days of school was 4,209 students as compared to 4,208 last year and 4,127 pro- jected by the State Division of Teacher Allotment. Teacher money is allocated on the basis of that projection. Davis said that since the Divi- sion fell short on its predictions for Kings Mountain’s enroll- ment, the system is due two addi- tional teachers. Davis said the additional money to be received will allow the system to take two teachers off of local payroll and put them on state payroll. Enrollment is down this year at most Kings Mountain schools, but the enrollment at North and Kings Mountain’ Junior High puts KM’ total enrollment figures higher than last year. North’s enrollment is up by 33 students and the junior high enrollment is up by 61. School enrollment figures in- clude Bethware 446 (down 18), East 381 (down 10), Grover 354 (down 17), North 474 (up 33), West 273 (down two), Central 716 (down 25), junior high 686 (up 61), senior high 859 (down three) and extended day 20 (down 18). “We feel good about our enrollment,” Davis said. “In a day when most systems are los- ing enrollment, we're holding our own.” Davis said he was pleased with the opening of school, which was “the smoothest since I've been here.” Davis said the new driveway at the junior high has helped ease traffic problems there, and it is expected to be even better once the road that runs from behind the senior high to the junior high is completed. The road will be used by buses only. In other action Monday, the board: / * Approved preliminary plans for the building addition at the junior high. Eight new classrooms will be added at an estimated cost of $500,000. Davis said the plans will be presented to the State Insurance Department for its approval. The addition is scheduled for completion in the latter part of 1985 and should be occupied in January of 1986. Cathy, Eric Honored At Rehearsal Dinner Miss Cathy McDaniel and Eric Moore, whose wedding took place Saturday, were honored Friday evening at a rehearsal dinner at Western Steer Steak House in Shelby. Entertaining 70 members of the wedding party, family members and friends were the bridegroom-to-be’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Moore.
