Many Parker students along with teachers and parents from throughout the district take their concerns to the next school board meeting. The car driver, an Albany man, is arrested on a charge of homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle. The dry conditions force many communities to cancel or postpone Fourth of July fireworks displays, but Janesville's pyrotechnic demonstration goes on. Glen Oaks School, a school for handicapped and developmentally disabled children, closes. In the fall, its 27 students will transfer to Parker High, Franklin Middle School and two elementary schools, Jackson and Lincoln.
Plaid also is back in style, especially for the again-fashionable women's pedal pushers.
Women's blouses typically are classic cotton tops ranging from sleeveless to baggy three-quarter sleeves. Fashionable men wear suits in a crisp European style with clean lines, narrow lapels, natural shoulders and straight cuffless trousers. On a 5-3 vote, the Janesville School Board approves a comprehensive sex education curriculum that begins in kindergarten and extends through 12th grade. While the district previously taught elements of sex education in science and health classes starting in junior high, it had no comprehensive curriculum. The board's vote ends two years of research, discussion and debate by a districtwide committee of educators, students, parents, clergy and health-care professionals.
