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.

agreed that the alley would be
paved, with the county paying
half of the cost. The agreement
also provided for extension of
the city sewer line through the
alley and for the improvement of
Adams Street, which would
include curbs and sidewalks.
Cole commented that the
county's share of cost of
surfacing the alley would be
ahout $300 and would eliminate
the necessity of bringing in a
grader for this one alley. It costs,
he said, $240 a day to operate
the grader.
