Page 2A-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, February 24, 1994 Auditors: Administrators should be hired from outside system A three-member team of cur- riculum auditors say that when po- sitions become available the Kings Mountain District Schools should recruit and employ well-qualified administrators from outside the im- mediate area to infuse new ideas into the system. "While the school system enjoys many successes, these are not often communicated to and celebrated by the entire school family and com- munity,” said Dr. Frances Jones, of Winston-Salem, lead auditor who gave recommendations to the Board of Education Friday during an all-day workshop. Jones said the audit team, which also included Karen Brown and Marvin Armstrong, spent three full days in Kings Mountain in November. They also reviewed board policies, memos, printed da- ta on student populations, curricu- lum guides and other sources of written data which revealed infor- mation about the written, taught and tested curriculum and the link- ages between them. Jones said that conversations were held with both individuals and groups to determine the extent to which a sound curriculum is in place and how it is delivered to stu- dents. They conducted interviews, not only with administrators, teach- ers and board members, but with parents, community members, high school department chairpersons and others, she said. The auditors addressed the issue of accountability for increased stu- dent achievement by recommend- ing that school staffs take major re- sponsibility for assuring students make substantive academic progress. It was suggested that a mindset of high standards for the performance of all students in the system be instilled and practiced. Additionally, school based person- nel should examine the use of many different instructional strate- gies to deliver the curriculum in a way that connects to real world sit- uations. The auditors suggested that ac-’ complishments be shared beyond the system to others throughout the state. They said there has been lit- tle opportunity for the infusion of new ideas into the school system via the recruitment and employ- ment of well qualified administra- Kings Mountain High School honor rolls Kings Mountain High honor rolls for the second nine weeks and first semester: NINE WEEKS A Ninth Grade - Allene Barron, katie George, Katie Phommalinh, Tracy Wilson. : Tenth Grade - Melissa Birdsong, C.G.

The connectivity of the curricu- lum through building a seamless flow of learning experiences for children at kindergarten through grade twelve is recommended as a way to avoid unnecessary stops and starts in the learning process. The auditors said that while the Kings Mountain District has a commendable reputation the rec- ommendations in the audit can," when followed, help to move it to- ward a world class learning com- munity. "Kings Mountain Schools are doing innovative things and they need to let others know about it," said Jones, who conducted her 26th curriculum audit at Kings Mountain. "Kings Mountain Schools have an edge on technology," said Jones, a former teacher, elementary and high school principal and a former Associate Superintendent with 23 years experience in public educa- tion in North Carolina. The Board of Education asked for the audit, they said, to chart the future direction of the school sys- tem. Diabetes?
