For Remedial Work
By D’EVA LUTHRINGER
The school board has allocated
$10,000 in unbudgeted funds for
remedial work with students
between now and the end of the
school year and the program
could be expandSfiiext year.
This is the first time known in
the history of the district that
such a remedial program is be-
ing provided youngsters after
regular school hours and with
certified teachers.
The program would be for
students who have fallen behind
in their school work and need ex-
tra help not available during
school hours.
The $10,000 was allocated for
teachers’ salaries and there is no
cost for students to attend the
sessions; — :
It would take 25 teachers
working four hours per week at,
$10 per hour for 10 weeks
The classes would be held two said.

night, at schools wherethere are
children in need of the extra
This would include all elemen-
taries.
Not all children in the
program would gp the full two
hours each night. The amount of
time would depend on how
much help youngster needed,
Supt. Johnny Clark explained.
Much of the help probably
would be in working with the
child on his homework, giving
him reinforcement in what he is
being taught during regular
school hours.
PARENT INVOLVEMENT
There also would be classes

children are having and how the

A form has been developed
and will be sent to parents of
students t^to have been iden-
tified as needing special help.
It explains that the child
probably would benefit from the
remedial classes and that, while
there would be no charge for the
classes, the parents would have
to furnish transportation.
It also explains aspect of the
sessions for parents.
Along with the explanation
letter is a short questionnaire to
be returned to the school.
QUESTIONNAIRE
It asks whether the parent is
interested in the remedial
program for his child, whether
he is interested in attending the
for parents, and which
days and times the parent would of
prefer for the classes.
