offered during the summer, an Indiana Department of Education report said. Over 70 percent of summer remedial students scored above the state’s cutoff point on the end-of-remediation retest. Average reading scores increased by nine points; average math scores improved by six points. Another recent department report disclosed significantly more students attended and more school corporations offered summer school in 1985. The report said 214 school corporations offered summer school programs in 1985, up 23 percent over 174 school corporations in 1984. There were 22 percent more children that were served by those programs as summer school enrollment increased to 118,530 in 1985 from 97,691 in 1984. These figures do not include third grade remediation students or classes. The biggest jump in enrollment was at the elementary/middle school level, the report said. Those students most often chose language arts and mathematics courses, with fine arts and computers also popular fare.

High school programs in greatest demand reflected the state’s increased graduation requirements, with social studies, health/physical education and language arts courses having the largest summer enrollments. Summer school funding by the Indiana General Assembly totaled $7 million for 1965. The Indiana State Board of Education approved extended 1986 summer school programs at its monthly meeting January 9 in Indianapolis. The board voted to include high school vocational and technical education with the current list of courses eligible for state reimbursement. It will also encourage schools to offer students nonstandard enrichment opportunities during the summer months by delegating the approval process to the Department of Education. All high school summer courses except driver and motorcycle education will qualify for state funding under the new rule by the board.

A series of summer institutes will give PRIME TIME teachers and principals practical ideas on \ taking advantage of their smaller class size. The Department of Education in January asked the state’s teacher training institutions for proposals for the 15-hour workshops. “Smaller classes require different teaching techniques,” said PRIME TIME manager Kay W. Harmless. “Through this summer program, we will offer teachers and principals creative, practical teaching strategies to take full advantage of the lower pupil-teacher ratios in PRIME TIME classrooms.” Teachers will also get tips on working with aides and using techniques which focus less on “seatwork” activities such as dittos and more on children’s individual needs. More information about the summer institutes will appear in “The PRIME TIME Exchange,” a monthly publication distributed to the state’s kindergarten, first, second, and third grade teachers and administrators. PRIME TTMEWiII begin its third year of statewide implementation in fall 1986.

The prisoners are up at 7, eat breakfast at 7:30, lunch at 12, evening supper, and are in bed by 10. Mrs. Rovenstine fixes the meals. Breakfast is light, lunch is heavy, and supper is light.
