Building changes the high school building. State Board of Education member Paul Dunn and Superintendent Danny Smith at a public meeting to explain the new policies governing Texas schools. 1985: Changes, changes, changes The start of a new school year is always exciting. Maybe there will be a cute new teacher, or a few new students. Sometimes, even a rule or two might change. But that's generally about the extent of it. At least, until Chpater 75 and House Bill 72 went into effect. Chapter 75 had been planned for the past few years. It deals mainly with curriculum changes. New courses, such as correlated language arts and introductory biology had to be added in the fall of 1984. Foreign language and computer classes have to be offered by the 1985 school year. All courses, in all grades and levels, have certain Essential Elements designated. Each EE must be mastered before the students can pass on to the next level. It is House Bill 72 that made 1984 memorable in Texas education, however. A Select Committee on Education, headed by H. Ross Perot, was appointed by Governor Mark White. The Committee made their suggestions, and the 68th State Legislature listened. H.B. 72 dealt with, among other things, master)' of the Texas Assessment of Basic Skills (TABS), salary raises and career ladders for teachers, student eligibility, and student absences. Perhaps some of the most controversial changes were those of eligibility for extra-curricular activities, and the ten-day absence rule. With these changes came: after school tutoring for grades K-12, after school pep rallies, longer school days, no test exemptions, fewer basketball tournaments, and more paperwork for teachers. Yes, 1984 was a year for changes—changes, changes, and more changes.
