Superintendent Marks 34th Year Mr. Henry Counsman, Superintend- ent of Schools, marked 34 years in Sayreville this year, making him the Senior Superintendent in Middlesex County. He attributes much of his suc- cess to the cooperation of fine faculty, administrators, and students. Our Superintendent began his career as an industrial arts teacher in the high school. He feels his teaching experience has helped him in understanding the pressures and diffi- culties that a teacher must withstand. He was the assistant football coach from 1945 to 1947, and the head coach from 1952 to 1958, showing his interest in the athletic program. He is pleased with the growth of the girls’ sports program, and is thrilled with the success of the girls’ teams. Mr Counsman has seen many changes since the commencement of his career, and is highly in favor of many recent innovations. He felt the tardiness and attendance policies were badly needed and feels that dis- cipline is necessary even with high school students. He also feels the Thorough and Effi- cient Education Program is very Top: Dealing with one of the many problems that reach his desk daily. Mr Counsman calls upon his years of experience in making decisions. Right: The Superintendent con- sults with his secretary on the upcoming Board meeting. important in getting “back to basics,’’ but noted that Sayreville schools have always emphasized fundamentals. Compensatory Education classes were formed for students who per- formed poorly on state tests, although it is still too early to evaluate their suc- cess. The Superintendent also feels the Special Education system, which pro- vides an individual program for those students who need personal attention is important. He would also like to see a broader vocational program for those who do not plan to pursue aca- demic areas. He noted that students’ rights have been expanded during the time that he has been Superintendent. A student’s records are now confidential, and may be released only with his or her con- sent. Also, before a student is sus- pended, a type of hearing can be set up with the parent, teacher, principal and student. In his 34 years, Mr. Counsman has noticed some changes in the students. They are “more mature today and ask more questions.” In comparison with students in nearby areas, he feels Sayreville has less discipline problems, shown by “few fights and little student violence.” Mr. Counsman has found his most satisfying experience as Superintend- ent to be working with cooperative people, and achieving success in the schools. He feels Sayreville is “truly blessed,” and is proud to be a part of its educational system. 20
