T A A . John Dean Superintendent Gerald McMaster Assistant Superintendent Roger Rankin Principal George Lewis Assistant Principal Many changes, more to come The administration worked hard on changes to improve the schoolts looks and curriculum. A new wing containing nine classrooms was completed for the science, business and math departments. Tile was laid in the sophomore hall, new tables were purchased for the cafeteria and new sinks and faucets were installed in the bathrooms. The smell 'Of fresh paint drifted down the halls mixed with dust from the new wing. Weighted classes went into effect bringing the district in line with other schools in the area. After assessing needs at the elementary schools and after reassessment went into ef- fect giving the district a higher bond ceiling, a bond issue was finally passed to construct more classrooms at both Raymore and Pe- culiar elementaries. This will give the still- growing district some breathing space. Committees worked on areas from policy changes, to curriculum to career ladders. The district qualified for GOMO matching funds for the career ladder program. Offi- ecials jumped at the opportunity to get more money for the district with only a 40 percent local outlay. The career ladder money will go to those teachers who qualify and com- plete the necessary paperwork to receive compensation. , Tyifpyg g2: IY PAUL 3091!!!
