AR, Personnel policies approved The Kings Mountain Board of Education approved almost all of the recommended personnel poli- cies as they were presented by Supt. Bob McRae during the board meeting Thursday night. There were some minor changes to the grievance section, said McRae, but the rest were accepted "pretty much" as they were pre- sented. The policies included the contro- versial reduction in force section, which the Personnel Policy Committee had taken issue with. The PPC wanted seniority to be the guiding force in the laying off of teachers, while McRae said, "I don't think we should make any personnel decisions without con- sidering quality. Although I think seniority is an important part of it." In a statement before the board heard the final reading of the poli- cies, Janet Evans, a representative of the Kings Mountain Association of Educators, said that in reading the policies, she found that the tone of the manual did not reflect a pos- itive attitude toward the system's employees as it had done in the past. McRae said that the tone of the policies was not intended to be cold. He said that the wishes of the school system's employees were al- ways paid close attention. McRae added one new policy dealing with board. operations on how to handle administrative con- cems. That policy must stay on the table for one month and will be voted on during the May board meeting. School budget is approved The Board of Education ap- proved a $3,616,154 budget for the county for the 1992-93 school year ‘Thursday night. Supt. Bob McRae said the sys- tem was only asking for two new items this year: money to move ‘West Elementary School back to its new campus; and an additional five percent supplement increase for teachers. Teachers did not receive a raise in pay last year, McRae said. There was no increase asked for in capital outlay, he said. - In other action: HM The board heard three propos- als from Asst. Supt. Larry Allen for the elementary reassignment plan. North is right on the edge of the five percent plus or minus board policy and students must be moved from North to other schools, said Allen, to achieve a better balance. One plan called for the Carolina Gardens section of the city to move to East. The second plan called for the nodes (a section of town con- taining 15 to 20 students) along Waterson, Cansler and King to move to Bethware. And the third proposal was to move Waterson only to Bethware. "In some ways, it's the lesser of evils as we struggle for the appro- priate balance," said Supt. Bob McRae. B The board approved the plans for the expansion of the North School media center and a recom- mendation by Dr. Allen to get bids. The library will be expanded into the courtyard adjoining it and roof will be constructed. The project is to last two months during the sum- Elementary talent show held at Barnes Auditorium Four elementary students won ‘top awards in the annual Kiwanis ‘Talent Show Thursday night in ‘Barnes Auditorium. .

CVV RO TRA ToT Driver education is taken out of regular school day Drivers cducation classes at Kings Mountain High School will be held outside the five and a half hour school day beginning the new school year, in accordance with a mandate from Raleigh. Bo Goforth, coordinator of the program, presented his plans for the classroom and behind-the- wheel parts of the course to the school board Thursday evening. The board approved the plans, which provide for teaching dur- ing holidays, the summer and on Saturdays. The state requires 30 hours of classroom instruction. Kings Mountain offers 36 hours in class. There are six hours of behind-the- wheel instruction. Every student in North Carolina must pass the course before the age ~ of 18. The course is taught to rising ninth graders and students must be 14 and a half years old before tak- ing the behind-the-wheel class. The classroom part of the course will be taught for two hours each day for 18 days. Goforth structured the 299 students, which is the num- ber the state has funded, in birth- date order to ascertain when and with which instructor each student will take the course. Goforth said the state found that instruction during the school day interrupted the educational process.

The seminar will be shown on a 100 inch screen be- ginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday. All five parts will be shown in one continuous showing.
