from the same type of free school in D. C.,” commented Elementary Principal Mary Quaintance. “A nine-year-old with a very high I.Q. and one 11-year-old. Neither one could read.”
“Does free school mean free tuition or do-what-you-please?” asked Nichols.
Mrs. Quaintance wanted to know if the boy came from a two-parent home. Neither Norton nor Montague could answer.
“It appears the child is at the sixth grade level peer group,” said Mrs. Massie. “Our sixth grade is the largest elementary class. I’d hate to see us more overcrowded.”
Since the Board had no information to indicate that the boy was in any other grade and overcrowding already existed at the sixth grade level with 30 to 31 students per class, the Board unanimously denied the request.
The Board also voted unanimously to proceed with all due haste in efforts to secure a clear title to the Scrabble School, a matter that has been left hanging since a bill of complaint was Bled in 1973. In addition, authorization was given for payment not to exceed $550 to bus drivers for the expanded girl’s athletic program at the high school.
Superintendent Norton was also instructed by the Board to remind all county teachers and administrative personnel that they are to remain strictly impartial in any political discussion while on duty in the school system. □
