© "I consider myself a student
© superintendent and too many of
our kids don't work to their po-
tential and block scheduling is a
_ way to focus on that and infuse
~ energy into the school," he said.

¢ The present after-school pro-
tgram will be discontinued and
freplaced with a tutorial system
ifour days per week with staffing
iby departments. Saturday make-
tup will continue due to the
‘number of students who work
‘after school.
: Gene Bumgardner said that
‘band, cosmetology, chorus,
:Trade and Industry and Food
:Service will be year-long cours-
tes. Students will not be allowed
~ ito leave and re-enter these
‘courses.
¢ Nelson Conner said there
twill be four 90-minute instruc-
i tional blocks, single term cours-
‘es per day and students will
‘have the opportunity to earn
eight credits annually.
Conner said the curriculum
has the blessings of faculty sub-
committees and steering com-
mittees who want to broaden
opportunities for students, im-
prove quality of instruction,
promote student success by fo-
cusing on fewer classes at one
time, attack interruption to the
instructional day and create a
sense of professional renewa
among the staff.
~~ Mary Ann Lattimore said stu-
dents will be allowed eight ab-
sences each term and tutorial
classes will be held in each de-
partment so that students may
* make up work they missed. A
change in the tardy policy will
mean that students sent to the
chill out room will receive con-
sequences for being late but will
not have to remain in the alter-
native room but sent directly to
class.
The alternative room will be
used for disciplinary referrals
by the faculty. A first incident
would result in immediate re-
moval from the classroom and

The third referral by the same

‘From Page 1-A
At least one Kings Mountain
citizen has been critical of the
two year term. Charles T.
Carpenter, West Kings
Mountain precinct leader, said a
two year term offers no continu-
ity and experience on the board.
But both White and Mayor
Scott Neisler contend that a
two-year term could leave the
board with continuity if incum-
bents gain support for reelec-
tion.
"Each of our districts are
about evenly divided as far as
voters are concerned and elect-
ing every two years is one of
the most responsible things
we've ever considered,” said the
mayor.
"I'm all for it," he said.

get money
Grants totaling over $95,000
have been awarded to Kings
Mountain and Grover Police
Departments under the Cops
FAST program to hire two new
police officers.
Each award pays up to 75
percent of an officer's salary
over a three year period with lo-
cal departments paying for the
remaining 25 percent.
Mark T. Calloway, United
States Attorney for the Western
District of North Carolina, said
the two departments are among
46 local police and sheriff's de-
partments in Western North
Carolina selected to receive
federal funding under Funding
Accelerated for Smaller Towns
Program. He said the Cops
FAST program represents part
of the $8.8 billion provided in
last fall's crime bill for competi-
tive grants for state and local
law enforcement to hire com-
munity policing officers and
implement community policing.
In all, President Clinton and
Attorney General Janet Reno
said that 6,600 local law en-
forcement agencies will receive
more than $434 million in fed-
eral grants to help hire 7,110
new community policing offi-
cers.

Chief Bob Hayes said Kings
Mountain's grant is $50,994.
Mayor Ronald Queen said
Grover's grant is $45,000.

Holland began his teaching
career as an elementary teacher
in Gaston County in 1971. He
was assistant principal at
Chapel Grove School in Gaston
County for 10 years. He taught

The Hollands plan to contin-

Bethware School and Holland
plans to maintain his activity in
Bethware Progressive Club and
in the school community.
Retirement will give Holland
time to enjoy reading, spending
more time with grandchildren,
and traveling when his back
condition improves.
"The only thing about an ag-
gravating back problem is that
you can't ride long distances,"
says Holland, who is optimistic
that with time he will be able to
enjoy life .
Keeping in touch with his
extended family, the children
and faculty at Bethware, is high
on his list of priorities.

Publie hearing March 7 on land use
Public hearing on the long-
awaited Kings Mountain land
use plan will be held March 7 at
City Hall.
It is the first new land use
plan since 1965 and Chairman
Joe Champion says the 14-
member committee has worked
hard for over a year to develop
1t.
With the help of Centralina
Council of Government planner
Sandra Albrecht, the group has
prepared maps to pinpoint nine
areas with recommendations on
how to make the best use of the
city's resources with an eye to-
ward growth in planning and
zoning.
Champion said the public
meeting is to receive input from
the community before the plan
is formally presented to City
Council for approval.
The city's strengths and areas
targeted for growth, including
downtown Kings Mountain,
community appearance, recre-
ation and open spaces, public
utilities and historic preserva-
tion, are among the issues that
the committee looked at and
that a study surveyed.
City Council authorized the
land use plan study at a cost of
$18,000.
Champion said members of
the committee came from a
cross-section of the community.
