ADMINISTRATION management, scheduling, open campus studied A management study was made of the ETHS four- schools-in-one concept by a three-man consultant group headed by Dr. John Brubacher, Professor of Education at the University of Connecticut. Three members of the Board of Education worked with the team, whose evalu- ation was used in coniunction with the NCA lNorth Central Associationl report to create reforms in the administrative organization. Superintendent Dr. Scott D. Thomson chaired the Steering Committee on Class Scheduling, which analyzed modular scheduling. After distributing questionnaires to both faculty and parents, the committee found that there was a need for tighter scheduling for the younger and more immature student who could not yet handle all the free time made available to him under the modular system. District 202 made a ioint agreement with Ele- mentary School District 65 to construct or purchase a building and to provide a program for the trainable mentally handicapped student. Until the building is acquired, these students would continue to attend a special private .school such as the Shore School and Training Center in Evanston. Dr. Thomson appointed a committee of four PTA presidents, four members of the Lay Advisory Coun- cil, four teachers, eight students, one counselor, and one administrator to study the open campus proposal created by the Beardsley School Policy Committee. Open campus systems used at Rockford and Niles High DR. SCOTT D. THOMSON: Superintendent Schools were studied by the committee. Having no time to leave his office for lunch before the arrival of the Lay Advisory Council, Dr. Thomson eats an apple. -f.-w:...:i.: I iqdgfha 0 Dr. Thomson roots for the Wildkits at a Saturday afternoon ETHS IfI.TEWQETEQSQZESKWE5ZQE23m7T L,'H-Kf . 1. .f si
