Board revises secondary level A major decision made by the school board this year was that to reorganize secondary schools in Bartholomew County. The decision was made to move freshmen from the junior high schools to the high schools and to consolidate all seventh and eighth graders into two junior high schools, Northside and Central. The building presently used as Southside Junior High School will be slightly modified and used as an elementary school for former Kent and Wayne students. According to Direc- tor of Personnel and Commun- ity Relations for the school corporation, Bernard Hala schak, nothing extensive will be done to the building. All of the secondary reorganization will be implemented in the 1983-84 school year. According to Mr. Halaschak, this year has been a very critical and busy time because of the reorganization. Open hearings were held and studies were made, and although many options were to be considered, Mr. Halaschak believed that the decision made would be highly successful . This year the board imple- mented a program in all the county secondary schools called Student Success Study . This program was de- signed to discover what ' s suc- cessful for high school stu- dents and what causes some students to drop out of school. Groups made up of teachers, students and parents met at each of the secondary schools as part of the program, and decisions they reached may affect the reorganization in 1983-84. Concerning North High School, the school board made the decision to proceed with renovation and addition plans. These plans include adding a natatorium, an auditorium, parking facilities and improving the existing RE. facilities. At East, changes, including the relocation of the library, are being made to accomodate freshmen. Board trustees for 1981- 82 were Mr. Marshall Perry, pres- ident; Mr. Raymond Zeiqler. vice-president; Mr. Wayne Ja- quess, secretary; Mrs. Louise Dalton, Mr. Roy Arnholt, Miss Evelyn Seward and Mr. James Weaver, members; Dr. Tho- mas Roman, treasurer; Dr. Lawrence Heyerdahl, superin- tendent; and Mr. Charles Wells, Sr., school attorney.
