square footage needs, etc. Dr. Smith provided through the use of transparencies and handouts to the board members information concerning the educational program that has been designed for the new middle school. The program plans to integrate the teaming approach in scheduling students in grades six, seven and eight. This approach will provide for more flexibility in scheduling and allow for more interdisciplinary teaching. The program provided to the board was based on 30 students per class as Dr. Smith’s original directive was to stay within 101,620 square feet. After discussion from the board, direction was given to Dr. Smith to refigure square footage based on an average of 25 students per class. Dr. Smith explained the goal of 25 students per class would increase the total square footage. Dr. Smith mentioned that she will be meeting with the Urey staff for the third time on October 2 to review the specific details of the educational program. Dr. Smith finalized her persentation with a reminder to the board that she will discuss the details of the educational program for the new middle school in a special school board meeting held October 8 at Urey Middle School at 7:30 p.m. Board members’ comments concerned a desire to make sure that we are planning for the future and that the overall size of the project might be too large and may need to be cut. Board members will be encouraged to review the approximately 250 page educational specifications document presented by Dr. Smith on October 8 and to ask additional questions about space utilization and square footage needs. Board members discussed a desire to wait until the October 15 meeting to vote on the educational specifications and program for the new middle school. Board members felt the additional time be-

tween the October 8 and the 15th meeting was needed to study the educational specifications for the proposed building. Additional questions at the October 15 meeting will be answered by Dr. Smith. NEW BUSINESS 1. John Glenn High School 1991 SAT Results. Mr. Dan Snider, director of guidance for JGHS, reviewed the 1991 SAT scores for JGHS. Mr. Snider compared them with the nation, the state and JGHS previous years’ results. Mr. Snider mentioned JGHS is above the state average in both verbal and math, but below in the national average in each of those areas. Also, the 1991 verbal scores went up slightly compared to 1990, but the 1991 math scores went down slightly compared to 1990. Mr. Snider relayed that approximately 59% of the JGHS students that were eligible for the SAT test took it in 1991. Board members questioned Mr. Snider concerning the scores, about what role they could play to help improve scores as a school board, and what support could be provided to the students in our corporation. Mr. Snider replied to these questions and others concerning the dropout rate at JGHS and what programs are in place to encourage students to stay in school. Both Mr. Snider and Mr. Shuler assured the board students are encouraged to stay in school and not to dropout. Mr. Snider concluded his report by informing the board that further encouragement of students to take difficult classes would, in his opinion, help improve the overall SAT scores for JGHS. 2. Personnel Report. a. John Glenn High School. 1. Pom Pon Position, Kristi Norton. Mr. Shuler recommended that Kristi Norton be appointed as Pom Pon sponsor at John Glenn High

School. A motion was made by Don Ludwig and seconded by Dave Hostetler to appoint Kristi Norton as Pom Pon sponsor at John Glenn High School. The motion passed by a vote of seven to zero. b. North Liberty Elementary School. 1. Cheerleading sponsor, Betty Roth. The Board accepted Mr. Kaufman’s recommendation to hire Betty Roth to be the cheerleading sponsor at NLES. Mr. Ludwig made the motion which was seconded by Dave Hostetler to employ Betty Roth as cheerleading sponsor at North Liberty. The motion passed seven to zero. 3. Conference Reports. Mr. Reese provided to the board conference reports from faculty and staff attending conferences. 4. Superintendent’s Report. a. Enrollment Data. Mr. Reese relayed to the board information from the Average Daily Membership state report. The John Glenn School Corp, increased a total of 63 students from the 1990-91 school year to the 1991-92 school year according to statistics revealed in the ADM report. Mr. Reese explained these additional students will have a positive financial impact upon the school corporation. b. Band Bus Report. Mr. Reese informed the board that in a reacent trip by the band to South Bend, the bus used to haul instruments incurred some major engine problems. After review by Hamilton Service Center, it was determined the engine for the bus was no longer serviceable. A decision will need to be made in the future concerning replacement of this bus. c. Child Care Program. The Before and After School Child Care Program provided at WES has not been financially selfsufficient. After review of the program by Mrs. Lightfoot and child care director, Margie Gierlowski, a decision was made to eliminate the program as of October 4. Mrs. Lighfoot prepared a letter to be sent to parents affected by this program. Board members discussed possible reasons for the lack of use by the community of this special program. Mr. Reese relayed a survey was done in the spring which showed a lot of interest, but this fall very few parents have used this service to provide before and after school day care. A motion was made by Dave Hostetler and seconded by Dan Patrick to accept the resignation of Margie Gierlowski as director of the Before and After School Child Care Program. The motion passed seven to zero. NEXT MEETING DATES The Board of School Trustees will meet in special session at 7:30 p.m. on October 8 at Urey Middle School.
