GROUP DISCUSSES CURRICULUM Mrs. Norlin, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Becker, and the mothers in the council listen as Mr. Murray, curriculum vice-principal, opens a typical meeting. Mrs. Greer, Mrs. Temple, Mrs. Schrader, Mr. Murray, and Mr. Johnson enjoy the snack break during a weekly council meeting. Each Tuesday afternoon a thirteen- member committee of administrators, faculty, and parents discuss curricular problems and innovations in the school and district. The parents serve three- year terms with one person retiring each year, While the teachers' tenures are based on experience and availability of time. Each department is repre- sented on the council. Problems discussed in the committee include those relating to student disci- pline, course offerings and school re- lations in the systems and community. Minutes of the meetings are distributed to faculty members and anyrecommen- dations are forwarded to the persons in- volved. Franklin was one of the first high schools in the nation to have a regularly convening curriculum coun- cil of teachers and parents. As a re- sult, our school has been on the fore- front of curricular experimentation with nationally known programs in science and mathematics.
