The board discussed the elementary redistricting report by Dr. Marlett heard earlier. Dr. Keimig, who supported making Appeal and Patuxent elementary schools a prekindergarten to grade five configuration, felt the collective wisdom of the board is more meaningful than a single member's opinion. Referring to the growth factor that dominates the attention of county decision-makers, Mr. Gray pointed out that Plan IV will allow all affected schools to open under capacity. Following discussion and upon a motion by Mr. Phalen, seconded by Mr. Jones, the board accepted the recommendation of the superintendent to adopt the committee's proposed redistricting plan for the county's southern elementary schools and directed the superintendent to review the administrative structure of Appeal and Patuxent elementary schools. Supervisor Kathryn Alvestad presented proposed changes to the Goals for the Year 2000 and Objectives for 1998-99 in the areas of SAT and AP scores, functional tests and Maryland Test of Citizenship Skills.
Materials are on file with the agenda.
The board will take this under consideration at a future work session. The board requested the superintendent to develop a teacher recruitment plan that will keep Calvert County competitive.

Upon the recommendation of the superintendent, a motion was made by Mr. Phalen, seconded by Mrs. Billings and carried to accept the recommendations of the Hearing Examiner in Case No.
