non-profit organization oriented towards belpinc inner-city parents become more involved in their children's school system, and advisingschooladniinistiators. The purpose of PHASE is to seHre as a liaison between such parents and school officials and adminis traton, Ms. Johnson said in

an interview Priday.

' She said many parents in the city for the most pvt are unaware of services and guidlines of their school systems, and that school officials, though they try, are not always able

to accomodate them.

"There’s a real gap between ■parents and principals,” she said. For example, Indianapolis Public Schools offers free tutorial services for problem students, Ms. Johnson exphuned. But, she said she knew of one parent in an IPS school who, because a teacher suggmted it, had -been paying $20 out Off grocery money foraprivate tutor. “This was a family barely making ends meet,” she said. "And she didn’t even know that IPS offered the same service for free. ” A PHASE statement listed other concerns, such as busing; violence; drugs; discipline; and activities and

social programs.

Ms. Johnson said discipline, particularly when it is administered by white school officials and teaches to black students, is a particularly net-

desomeproblem.

By ikoviding lines of communica-

tion between the two parties, PHASE offers both access for parents into the school system, and an outlet to assist school officials in

solving discipline problems. Some such apparent “problems,”

she said, "are not school-related, but home-related.” Bringing parents into the picture, she added, can bring to light any problems at home which may cause behavioral

problems at school.

School officials, not only in IPS • but also in surrounding districts, • have for the most part expressed ; fnuch enthusiasm for the idea, Ms.

guard discovered the body of Frances Derr, 70, slumped over in the front seat of her car in the mall parking lot. The officer approached the white 1985 Oldsmobile while on the cinema parking lot. The officer’s intent was to check for a stolen car. Initially her death was believed to be of natural causes. However, an examination by the county coroner discovered Ms. Derr had been beaten and strangled. Police have determined that the victim left her westside home at a bout 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 20. Additional information has led the investigators to believe that Derr was murdered early that evening. The police are still without a motive. Authorities are seeking information from anyone who may have seen Ms. Derr or her car that Friday, at the shopping center. Detectives are especially interested in information about another car that may have been parked next to or near the victim’s car (which has the license plate 93P500), as it sat on the theater’s parking lot.
