EWS BREAKER Lewman Takes Charge of B-SHS 'wr I Old! 2-2-2 plan initiates by Chrlsll Dillon ue to the increasing size of the city of Blue Springs and its high school's enormous enrollment, drastic measures were re- quired to reorganize the school district. ln order to achieve this. the school board enacted a plan called the 2-2-2 Plan. The 2-2-2 Plan is one of many steps that will take place until a new high school can be built and enrollment numbers decreased to a controllable amount under the Phase 2 Program. When the 2-2-2 plan goes into ef- fect at the start of the fall of 1988. the current high school will consist ol only juniors and seniors. This building will be called Blue Springs High School Ashton Campus. The freshmen and sophomores will go to the current junior high building which will become the Blue Springs High School Vesper Campus. Eighth graders v l be moved in with the seventh gta e at Hall- McCarter. These moves are temporary until a new high school can be built Currently. construction is underway for a new iunior high which will be called the Butler Dwyer Junior High Many problems are left unanswered in this situation of half high 16!Mini Mag changes schools. One ot the biggest of these problems is students failing. Students who fail classes or accelerate don't have options available to help them. The current solution to this problem is to have commonly failed classes such as English and Biology offered at both campuses. A feasable proposition for the future is constructing a road to cross the land and railroad tracks between the two campuses. The original railroad allowed us fthe school disttictl to build a road across it any time we felt we needed it and right now we're going through the red tape to start the proiectf' said Dr. Robert Blaine. director of the 2-2-2 plan Students who end up taking courses at both campuses will then take a shuttle bus similar to that of the ac' tivities buses 'iThe whole purpose ofthe plan is to not let some of the kids fall through the cracks. said Dr. Blaine. The school board projects that through the 2-2-2 plan. which is in- evitable. the academic program will be restructured From these changes and the smaller class sizes. the academic programs are expected to improve and have better facilities. transaction from a three year t0 B two year high school smoothly and he -T e's back! Only this time he's the principal, Who is this person? He's Dr Ted Lewman. Dr Lewman came to the high school from Hall-McCarter where he was principal for two years. He took over for Dr. Robert Blaine. who became coordinator of the 2-2-2, Before becoming a principal, Dr. Lewman taught seventh. ninth and tenth grade social studies and was the football and track coach at William Chrisman for lour years. He then took the job as assistant principal at the high school which he filled lor 11 years before going to Hall-McCarter. Dr. Lewman didn't think that he would ever return to the high school after leaving to go to Hall-McCarter. Future goals Dr, Lewman would like to see lor next year are making the would like the changes to be a positive one for the students, so that they can feel good about the new change. Besides the new school plan. the science department will also be undergoing new changes. They plan to reconstruct the science labs to make science learning easier. At the end of five years. Dr Lewman would like to have the student ratio down, so that teachers can devote more time to inf dividual help. According to Dr. Lewman. one of the most important characteristics of being a principal is that you must like people, His parents were a big in- fluence in helping him be the principal he is today. My parents taught me about caring which was verV important. The thing Dr. Lewman likes best about being a principal is being able to go through the halls and tease kids!
