School board sets special County road program is proposed
meeting to discuss Mt View 00a.oo County wa. o
• Commission was presented with $15,000; two miles of tile Road at Oak l'atch for light Olympic Highway,
The Shelton School Board
set a special meeting for 8 p.m.
December 20 to discuss possible
solutions, to a time and space
problem for kindergarten at Mt.
View School which was discussed
with a group of parents at the
school board meeting Tuesday
night.
On a motion by Board
Member Theron Burgess, the
board asked representatives of
the parents group to meet with
Ken Gesche, principal of Mt.
View School to discuss the
questions and also asked
Superintendent Louis Grinnell to
get a copy of a proposed
contract for a lease-option on a
modular building.
Kurt Hardenbrook, a
spokesman for the parents group,
told the board they were
concerned that because of three
sections of kindergarten using
the same room, pupils were not
getting the two hours and 15
minutes of class time which is
required under the state basic
education law.
He said some of the group
had checked with State
Department of Public
Transportation representatives
and had been told the way the
kindergarten was being worked
at Mt. View did not comply with
the basic education law.
He also said the group had
checked with a representative of
a firm which handles modular
classroom buildings and had been
told one could be obtained
without going through bidding
procedures through a
lease-option, and that it could be
set up and ready to go by
February 1.
Gesche told the board while
the three kindergarten sessions
using one classroom had caused
problems, some adjustments had
been needed to be made. He said
while it was not a good
situation, efforts had been made
to make it work and to be in
compliance with the basic
education law. He said the state
person to whom he talked had
told him the way it was being
worked was in compliance.
Gesche said that from
information available now, it
appeared there would be a
building available tora second
kindergarten room next year.
Superintendent Louis
Grinnell stated he was not in
favor of the use of modular
buildings and doubted if one
could be obtained and installed
as quickly as the parent group
had been told.
He also said there were other
alternatives which could be
considered such as obtaining
space in another building outside
the school area or dividing the
three classes into two and having
an extra teacher part of the day
in each class.
