Title | Program New Addition in Math Department A new math program referred to as Title | was introduced. It aided students who were computing below grade level. The Federal Government funded the program with a whopping $16,335. Mary Ellis, the program coordinator, hoped the funds would be used to hire a new teacher. She also hoped that the student’s grade average would be raised and they would gain confidence in their ability to manipulate math. A wide selection of Math courses at E.H.S. included Algebra | and II, Geom- etry, Consumer Math, and Math Analy- sis. Accounting was also available to students through the Business Depart- ment.

Re-Evaluation eC Reaches Special-Ed; e ] Toenorrous ne | Alters Pupils’ Classes | § 4 Ss wih ae ac, Eee JV) ‘ € : - For five years, Encinal has had a Special Education program aimed at helping the needs of its students. Origi- nally, the program was named ‘‘The Learning Center.”’ At present, there are fifty-five stu- | dents enrolled. Some students are in one class only, others take three. The | faculty included Ernie Ellis, who taught i Math; Diane Tusing, who replaced | Betty Ruark, taught Spelling, Writing, and Reading; and Carol Roberds, who instructed students in Social Studies and Health. In addition, Rena Hill was the vocational counselor for the stu- | dents. One fact about Special Ed was that the students’ instruction was planned by a committee which featured the stu- dents themselves, their parents, and § professionals like psychologists, teach- ers, and social workers. Evaluation meetings were annual affairs, and if the student had improved there was a pro- gram placement change.
