| i ; i | Kings Mountain High School ~ principal Jackie Lavender was for- mally announced as the winner of : the Wachovia Principal of the Year award during the June meeting of . the school board Monday night. Also, Sherry Wilson was pre- : sented with the Bus Driver of the : Year Award in Cleveland County by Dave Hinson, transportation di- rector. Hinson gave the award on ; behalf of the North Carolina : Petroleum Marketers Association. Elementary foreign language teachers, Terry Briggs, Linda Faust, Grace Mitchell and John : Vorhees, brought elementary stu- : dents in to show how the program is working in the system. Board members viewed a video of stu- - dents in class working on Spanish : lessons. Mitchell said that little English is spoken in the classes -- the + teachers used a natural approach. "We want them to be as fluent in ! Spanish as they are in English," | said Mitchell. i An alternative evaluation system ‘ was proposed by a committee of ! the system's educators and present- ' ed to the board. { The state has mandated that any : teacher who is not of career status ; must be evaluated, and the system i could use an alternative evaluation i to the TPAI now used for all teach- : ers under review. Patti Weathers said the commit- tee looked for a system that was easy to administer and fair. The teacher being evaluated must be a tenured person, with no below standard ratings and 50 percent of above standard ratings in order to choose to be evaluated by the alter- native system. The alternative system is to de- velop a professional development plan for the individual teacher. It can be done by making the plan ap- plicable to their classrooms or situ- ations or applicable to a school wide goal(s) or system wide goal(s). Participation in the system will be on a voluntary basis. After one year, the plan will be reviewed and refined, if necessary, before full implementation. North Principal Joey Hopper recommended the plan to the board and said he felt like some of the stress of evaluation would be re- lieved. The board will act on the plan next month. Revised policy dealing with transfers and withdrawals dis- cussed last month was presented to the board for first reading. The pro- posed policy change allows the board additional flexibility in ap- proving transfers to promote over- all racial balance of all the elemen- tary schools in the system. Action will be taken next month after a fi- nal reading. In action taken by the board, policy sections concerning general public relations, interorganizational relations and education agency re- lations were approved. Also, the board again appointed member Priscilla Mauney to the Board of Directors of the Kings : Second graders at East Elementary put on a show for parents to display what they learned while studying ! about all kinds of fish and sea animals.
