Achievements For Students They supervised the school. They observed teachers. They strove for a strong curriculum. They telt they had the privilege of working for the best students and teachers in the state. They were the administration. Going through a transitional year, the administration set out to make a strong program even better. The reduction ot students was a purposeful one as Principal Ms. Beth Jackson noted, There is reduced pressure within the school, forming a tighter student body. More students were able to come in contact with the administrators as better interaction with students was desired. Working with students to achieve their goals was a major desire ot the administrators. They wished to provide the best possible curricular and co-curricular programs for the students. Achievement of these goals was defined by Vice Principal Barry Fountain when he stated, I plan to achieve these through teacher observation for the improvement of instruction and review co- curricular activities in light of the needs of students.

School Board: Working Toward A Common Goal There has always been a great rivalry between the inter-district schools in sports, debate, etc., but the overall goal ofthe School Board is to have equal education and fair treatment of all the students in the Kent schools, commented Mr. Millard Battles, a nine year veteran to the Board who also acted as the Legislative Representative for the 1981-82 academic year. Meeting every second and last Wednesday of the month, the Board members were responsi- ble for approving the hiring of new district staff, appropriating the district budget lwhich totalled 40,531,722 dollarsl and approving new curriculum. Besides being an election year for two of the members, many new policies were discussed and put into effect. One of the larger expenditures to be placed on the voting ballot was a bond issue concerning the expansion and renovation of French Field. A second issue included additional money to be used in the Kentridge service area, which would cover the estimated 860,000 cost to redo the drainage system of the upper fields. Mr. George T. Daniel, Superintendent of the Kent schools, was very pleased with the Boards' ac- tions. The neatest thing about the school board members is that all their time is donated -- they receive no monetary compensation. Each person really cares about the progress of the students . . . it's a completely individual dedication. f 1 I 2. S. Smith 2. 1. Area Manager Ouenten Lee. 2.
