. , 1 1 ,I u. fl Schmidt fills new position In the Lodi Unified School District, the retirement of Ellerth Larson, superintendent of schools, was the biggest change. After numerous Interviews, the board of trustees found Neil Schmidt to fill the empty position. Dr. Schmidt said that the enthusiasm of the staff and community support were strengths of the Lodi Unified School District. The committment by the staff to constantly examine ways to improve what we're already doing well ls a strength itself, said Dr. Schmidt. According to Dr. Schmidt, the problem in the district is the housing of students. We're growing at a rate where the state is not able to supply funds quickly enough to build schools, said Dr. Schmidt. We may go to year round school If the board approves. The earliest it could take effect would be the fall of 1989. According to Robert Ball, newly-elected school board president, the majority of the school board members did not favor year-round school. My personal feeling is that the school board will not vote lfor year-round schooll, said Mr. Ball. They lmajorltyl feel that the Bear Creek High School will be on board and the extended-day schedule would continue. According to Dr. Schmidt, the district admlnl- strators wlll recommend that the ninth graders will not be bussed to Needham for the required classes of math, English, and social science. Even if we .place the ninth graders at Needham, two years later you would have an extended-day because of the population growth of students, said Dr. Schmidt. Dr. Schlmdt said that the search and seizure pollcy which was formed, was designed to establish a regulation for the process. The search and seizure policy was created so 'the dlstrlct will have a routlne procedure, said Mr. Ball. Board of Trustees photoa by Zurlel Cervantes 1.

New position aids students To help counselors close the language and cultural gap, interviews were conducted for the first time in hopes of finding a Vietnamese speaking person to help counselors with South East Asian students. Interviews were based on the applicants know- ledge of public and private agencies, their ability to communicate and their ability to prepare clear and concise oral and written reports. According to Counselor Delmar Petzold, he has 80 students with the same last name of Nguyen. Mr. Petzold said that it was fun, exciting, and a challenge to remember which name went with which face. Once there were three students with the same first and last names waiting in the counseling office, according to Mr. Petzold. Their first name was spelled differently but it sounded the same. Ac- cording to Mr. Petzold, he called out their first name then went back into his office. Nobody fol- lowed him until he realized what had happened. According to Principal Floyd Williams, 21 percent of all Tokay students were South East Asian. Of that percentage, Vietnamese students were the majority. A new position, Career Center technician. was filled by Cheryl Phillips early in the year. This position allowed the Career Center to remain open from first through seventh periods to offer informa- tion and resources on any vocation or college. One of the main goals set by the counselors was to meet with every sophomore and their parents to plan for their future at Tokay and possibly future college. by Sheryl Tankersley 3.
