Qltlsi-on O al W' Excellence! The Clark County Board of School Trustees were again concerned with the many facets of education in our District. Top priority was given to passage of the Pay-As- You-Go school building pro- gram which was necessary to relieve massive overcrowding in our elementary schoois. Under this funding program, projected school construction would be limited by the yearly tax collected for the purpose of building schools, thereby saving millions of dollars in in- terest payments. Thethree- year school building program included building of three elementary schools in Las Vegas and one in Henderson, and addition of twenty por- table classrooms countywide during the 1986-87 school year. Eight more elementary schools, two schools or major additions, fifty portable classrooms, plus classroom modifcations and other site purchases were planned for the following two school years. The Pay-As-You-Go plan was defeated when it was originally brought before the voters in the spring of 1985. School trustees, ad- ministrators, teachers, and parents worked together to gain public support, and on December 10 the school building program was passed by Clark County voters. Associate Superintendent of Schools Ralph Cadwallacier stated, This program was up- permost in the minds of the trustees. It was essential that the voters approve the fund- ing, and we are extremely pleased that we are able to go ahead with our building plans. On July 11, 1985, the Board of authorized the of a 148 Academics program. This authorization in- cluded the direction that a committee selected by the Division of Secondary Educa- tion will serve as the reviewing and recommending body regarding future course selection. A Distinguished Schoiar's Curriculum Committee was given the assignment to recommend distinguished scholars courses which would receive weighted grades. The committee reviewed the high school curriculum and recom- mended a number of courses in the areas of English, Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Foreign Language. The recommenda- tions were presented to and approved by the Board's ad l Robert Wentz Superintendent hoc curriculum committee. Mr. Paul explained, This pro- gram should provide incentive and reward for students who enroll in these classes. Another innovation im- plemented by the Board of School Trustees for the 1985-86 school year was the ln-House Suspension Pro- gram, which provided ongoing education for students who were being reprimanded for less serious offenses at school. The Nevada State Legislature voted funding for district personnel saiary in- creases and for creation of new programs in the Clark County School District, The School Board of Trustees was very busy, and their efforts contributed to Bonanza High School's continuing tradition of excellence in education.
