Management shuffle modified policy Changes in Blackford ' s school system followed the acceptance of Mr. William Couch as superintendent. Mr. Couch set a policy of more su- pervision and visits to schools. He also required principals to visit and make more extensive evaluations of classes and teachers. Though teacher negotiations lost the aid of the area Uniserv director, Mr. Couch maintained an open scope policy, stating that everything is nego- tiable including calendar dates. An equipment replacement program got under way. Equipment installed when the school started eight years ago had become faulty or outdated. Mr. William Payne, temporary super- intendent last year, elected to return to his former post as assistant superinten- dent. He also assumed the duties of Su- pervisor of Special Services Ken Kline, who resigned to enter graduate school. The sight of administrators and school board members in the schools became more common as administra- tive personnel investigated needs of the schools first-hand. A mid-year resignation of Mr. Kenneth Kline, B.A., Supervisor of Special Services, left the system v ith- out a replacement. 164 County Administration
