Masterson asked if the same curriculum, the same teachers and the same kids are involved, what was going to change the lack of progress shown by Rappahannock students last year in reading. He emphasized again that only half the students who need extra help will be enrolled in the Title I reading lab.
Bloomer repeated his contention that the students not in the labs would benefit indirectly because regular class size would be smaller through lab participation.
"Is there some document I can look at to get some sense out of what a Title I program is?" asked Joan St. Clair. She said she wanted to know what was expected from Title I. what a child would accomplish with this extra instruction. "So far, my child has accomplished nothing in two years," she maintained. Mrs. St. Clair said she'd asked questions of school personnel and in return, heard "only platitudes (hat things are going to be better."
Mrs. Massie replied that a School Board meeting was not the ideal time to answer Mrs. St. Clair’s questions and suggested that she meet personally with Dr. Bloomer for a better understanding of the Title I program.
With no more discussion the School Board voted unanimously to authorize Bloomer to continue negotiations with Title 1 director Alpha Smith on instituting a federally funded reading lab for grades one to three.
