he Little Rock Schools began the year with some new faces due to administrative reorganization. It has given the administration workers more responsibility for the results they're trying to get, said Herb Rule, School Board member. The most important new program adopted by the Board for the year was a new reading program. All of the Board members shared the opinion that the reading program would benefit most the students who weren't reading at their full capacity but would also help good readers. The new addition for the reading program is called a diagnostic prescriptive program in which students are tested for weakness in specific areas, Paul Masem, superintendent, said. The students then develop strength in these areas by learning through a mastery plan, in small steps. One problem tackled by the Board that directly affected Parkview was the matter of new band uniforms. The request was first turned down and then granted. When Parkview asked for the money, the Board was discussing priorities, so we didn't know if we would have money for the uniforms, said Dr. Art Gillum, Board member. After priorities were set, we found we did have the money, so we decided Parkview should have new uniforms. Though Board members held full time jobs outside the schools, much of their time was spent making decisions that affected Parkview students. in We need to think of ways to create an interest in the schools among students so they will come to school and be good students. -Rev. C.0. Magee, School Board president. 5. Some things which could be done to improve the schools are an increase in girls' athletics and more day care programs. I am also concerned about the attitudes of some schools toward fire safetyg it surprised me that schools built 25 and 30 years ago don't have to meet some of the new standards and fire safety laws. -Dr. Peter Sherrill, School Board. tl if 5 or 5 :vv .i:i we 4' When the School Board makes a decision, we have to consider all of the alternatives. We can't just consider the effects on one school: we have to consider the effects on all schools. -Vance Jones, School Board vice-president. We need to End a simpler and more direct way to spend more time helping students learn and showing administrators, teachers and students how to work together. -Herb Rule, School Board. 1 I P .I N x 'Y X. - W-...tw 1 . ,,., .

Benjamin Williams, associate superintendent for educational programs. The new reading program is one which , won't show immediate 4 results. lt is set up now i so that teachers use a method called content teaching. This is, in every class the teacher puts an emphasis on reading and understanding what is read, even in math class. -Dr. Art Gillum, School Board. l64!
