JOHN GLENN SCHOOL BOARD MINUTES (continued from Page 1) outdoor educational and athletic facility upgrade, and administrative office. REPORTS 1. Superintendent’s Report a. Alternative Education Program for High School Students The School Board received report from the superintendent on an alternative education program for high school students being planned by Union-North. Penn-Harris-Mad-ison. Mishawaka. Elkhart and John Glenn School Corporations. John Glenn School Corporation would be alloted six openings in an alternative school that is designed to meet the needs of students who have withdrawn or have been suspended from school for truancy, drug addictive tendencies, poor or failing grades, pregnancy or motherhood, and general dislike for school. Students would go to the alternative school for three hours a day, either morning or afternoon, and would have a work related experience for the other half of the day. The alternative school is a means of keeping students enrolled in school that normally would drop out of school as a result of their problems. The cost to the school corporation would be approximately $4,000 per pupil if placed in the alternative school program. The superintendent reported on Dennis Skeens and Pete Pump (with the Department of Education Facility and Planning) visit to John Glenn School Corporation on May 16, 1994. Mr. Skeens reported that our application for a project number for the Urey Middle School renovation and addition was lacking an educational consultant’s opinion that the project was necessary and practical.

suitant. The school corporation has studies that were done in previous years that address the needs for additional and improved facilities for middle school students, but do not recommend the solution as presently being proposed by the Board. Following considerable discussion, the School Board by consent requested the superintendent to obtain the services of an educational consultant to study the educational feasibility of the renovation and addition to Urey Middle School and make recommendations on the shortterm and long-term facility needs of the elementary and high school. 2.

He added that this would be the most cost effective route, and most
