The new policy left attendance procedures up to each individ- ual department, allowing more flexibility to meet their varying needs. Four coordinators continued for the second year to develop the curriculum in grades seven through twelve. The four areas of study were social sciences and core, mathematics, sci- ence. and language arts. The curriculum coordinators were selected by the Board of Edu- cation. The program was begun on an experimental basis last year and proved successful again in the 1976-77 school year.
