Can't Please Everybody What works for Denver schools shouldn’t work for us.” Mr. Predmore expressed his opinion concerning the new state laws covering a wide range of educational issues. Some schools in the past weren’t being quite honest. They were letting students out the entire day because of a sport activity. Because of abuse of the rules, the legislature set down new laws to make sure they were obeyed. Some of the effects the legislative laws have on us concern snow days. In the previous years we were allowed eight days and now the days are cut down to only four. If we exceed the four days, and fail to make them up, the state will cut off money that is given to us. Snow days put extreme pressure on administrators due to the fact that they have to decide whether or not school should be canceled. There is always the danger of making a wrong decision. I hate to have to dismiss school in the middle of the day because of the grade school kids going home when their parents aren’t Mr. Bob C. Gudko, the superintendent of school district R 3J. there,” said Mr. Gudka when asked how he felt about having to be the one to make that decision. Another effect is the half day system. In the past we have had quite a few half days; now we are allowed four a year (two a semester). We no longer get out early before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mr. Predmore feels that the half days we had were very beneficial. “They allowed time to get with teachers in the district for inservices and meetings.” Things have changed; students have to make adjustments. Mr. Dole Reckard. the assistant superin- tendent. Gloria Shell. Jan Carlson. Al Burry and Ivan Oster meet In the library to discuss some Important business.
