School Board Meeting
The regulsr meeting of the Hunt¬ ley CoiBolidated Sciwol Board was held on Wednesday, November 8. This meeting was heW in the new board room connected to Supt. Kelly's office.
The meeting was convened at 8 o'clock by S<*ool Board President: Wayne Zimmerman. All BpanJ members were present. The min¬ utes of the previous meeting were approved.
Supt. Kelly read a report pre¬ pared by grade school principle Patrick Murphy. In Ws report Mr. MuriJiy said that the jurior high library was begining to build up. He went on to say that attendance in tlve elementary school was down because of flu and viruses. Murphy's report stated that a spof survey had been made on the num¬ ber of students living in tovm vs. those wtio live in the county and must ride busses and the nun*ei- of students whose mother's work.
TTie board comntented that the results of this survey werein con¬ clusive as it was based on the number of students who had moth¬ ers working rather than tlie fam¬ ilies in which ttie n>other worked. It was mentioned that one mother couid iwve four or n^re children.^
Supt. KieOy reported tiiat four WMnen had been hired t» supervise K — 8 during the lunch hour so that grade school teachers might have a half-hour lundi which they are entitled to by law. At a pre- vious meeting when the authoriz¬ ation was given to hire the women they were oly to watch students in grades K — 5. However, through a mix-up the additional three gra des (6, 7 & 8) were included. The board mentioned that this would be corrected, as the teachers these three grades have been re¬ ceiving the half-hour duty-free lunch period previous to the hiring of the four women.
The board decided to clarify their minutes by putting into the^ record the four supervisory helpers were to supervise grades K — 5, giving the teachers of these grades a half-hour duty free lunch periotf rather tfaan the full lundi period. It was stated that the four women who were hired are to be suppli- mentary personeU rather than to replace the teachers of their noon- hour duties.
The board voted to a{H>rove a contract to hire Mrs. Schaeffer to replace Bonnie Dwyer as a teacher in Oie grade school. Mrs. Schaff- ers contract will start as of Nov¬ ember 1, and will be prorated over a 7 month period. Mrs. Schaeffer has been substitulang for Mrs. Dwy er.
Two thank you notes were re¬ ceived by the board -— one froni the Music Boosters for the use of tho school for their atiction, the other note was from the cheer¬ leaders who received sldrts pur¬ chased by the board.
