Consider Recommendation to Reinstate Vocal Music Position and Add a Second Grade Section at North Liberty Elementary School. Superintendent David McKee recommended to the School Board that the vocal music teaching position that was reduced last year because of financial reasons be reinstated for the 1992-93 school year. Mr. McKee explained that the reduction in the teaching position prevents offering a comprehensive vocal music program at the high school. Other music teachers' work schedules have been overloaded and this has caused a reduction in individual instruction in the instrumental music program. For next year, 25 students have signed up for a concert choir and 14 students for swing choir. Mr. McKee also recommends that next year’s second grade class at North Liberty Elementary School be divided into three sections. The class is currently divided into three sections as first grade. Only two sections of second grade next year would result in a 25 to one pupil/ teacher ratio. Prime Time dollars will help support the additional teaching position. After considering the recommendation, Gene Knowlton made the motion, seconded by Dan Patrick, to reinstate the vocal music position and add a second grade section at North Liberty Elementary School. The motion passed seven to zero. 4. Review of School Board Policies a. 12 Month Employees Holidays b. Vacations c. Withdrawal From School Exit Interview The School Board reviewed a new policy that would identify employee holidays in lieu of a special work calendar each year. The proposed policy provides for the same number of holidays as stated in the work calendar. The School Board reviewed the revised vacation policy. The revised policy defines a year of service to the school corporation. The School Board reviewed the Withdrawal From School Exit Interview policy. This policy is required as part of the new Workforce 2000 legislation. REPORTS 1. Article 7, New Special Education Law — Linda Holland Linda Holland, special education

teacher at Walkerton Elementary School, reviewed for the Board the new Indiana Department of Education Article 7 rules that provide guidelines for the education of handicapped children.

The changes include a genera] education intervention, transition in ongoing adult services, early childhood programs and the least restrictive environment. She expressed the need for inservice programs to provide training and information for all of the teachers. Mrs. Bostwick, seconded grade teacher at Walkerton Elementary School, spoke about the impact of the new regulations on instruction.
