School Expands; Program Quality Not Affected A top priority for Dr. Daryle D. Russell this year has been to enable the school to operate at full space capacity without sacrificing program quality and integrity. Over 2,700 students were in attendance. Dr. Russell and his administrative staff worked to establish an action plan which would provide SAIS-R the opportunity to have enough space to accommodate all students seeking admission to school this year and during 1984-85. The Board of Education and the Ministry of Education also were involved in these deliberations. Throughout the year, Dr. Russell related to the Board of Education information about finances, personnel, curriculum program and required planning and development. In his second year as superintendent, he finds many positive things about his assignment: the capabilities of the administrative and teaching staff, and the community support from parents. Dr. Russell again reminded that, “for all of us — our reason for being here, the reason for the existence of this school — is to meet the needs of the students.” He congratulated the graduating ninth graders and the entire student body for the success of another SAIS-R school year. nMrs. Kathy Duke, personal secretary for Dr. Russell, works at compiling school documents, typing and distributing letters from the superintendent, and scheduling Dr. Russell’s appointments. Mrs. Judy Albin is the secretary for the Board of Education. Before school she holds another job as the school-wide substitute teacher coordinator. Superintendent 103
