School board delays decision on levy The Shelton School Board at its meeting Tuesday night agreed to withhold a final decision on how much of a special levy will be asked of voters in the district at a special levy election in the spring. The board decided to delay action until after a special meeting at 8 p.m. January 24 at which the board members will hear a presentation from High School Principal Bernie Shaw on proposed curriculum Changes for the high school for the coming year. Shaw told the board proposals from the administration and faculty at the high school will include a goal-oriented program, a trimester system, a six-period day and expanded course offerings. He said it would require a special levy of about $100,000 for each of the next two years in order to implement the proposed programs. The board at its December voted to put a special before the voters this spring to raise the money necessary to retain six additional teachers in the elementary and middle schools to get lower class loads. The additional teachers were hired two years ago with funds a special levy, but funds from that levy will carry the added teachers through this school year. Superintendent Louis told the board at the meeting that if present funding plans are carried that at the end of two years the district should be getting money from the state to the additional teachers special levy funds. Shaw told the board the high proposals should be able be funded after about two from regular revenue if the learning the presentation was to be made to the board at the meeting Tuesday night, he had contacted two people in state government who had agreed to review the proposal and the proposed textbook and to make recommendations to the board. Maxwell asked that consideration be delayed until these people have time to look at the proposed program. School administrators stated there are drug.abuse education programs which are carried out in classes at the present time and they seem to be effective. Grinnell asked John Jones, director of special services, to coordinate getting the information which will be presented at the March meeting of the school board. Jones made a presentation to the board on the student learning objectives on which he has been working from kindergarten through eighth-graders. The objective of the plan, he said, would be to have the students have the basic skills for high school when they complete the eighth grade. The proposals, he said, will emphasize reading, math and language arts. The board, on the recommendation of Grinnell, voted to authorize the district's attorneys to proceed with the legal procedures necessary to take action against the contractor and others on the problems with the roofs on some of the buildings at the high school. G rinnell gave the board a report from an outside architect v/he had been hired to examine and evaluate what the problems were which were causing the leaks. ecommendation rated Sing lated a Xwell told Q.
