Testing programs designed to assist the school to determine appropriate educational options for students were used. Upon the recommendations of teachers, prin- cipals, and guidance counselors standard psycho- logical tests were given to evaluate the potential and IO of the students. The results of these evalu- ations determined if the students would be in the E.M.R. program. Each student was tested every two years to determine if he should continue in this unit. Scheduled parent and teacher conferences, child study, psychological report and planning were some of Mrs. Jenkins functions. Employed by the County School Board, her work included all schools under the county board. Mrs. Jenkins was a member of Lorain City School Board.
