Board Discusses
Expanded Summer
School Program

School Board Vice President
Mary Price urged that more
classes be offered for the ad-
vanced student, as well as the
remedial schedule. William
Scheele, new school board
member. said people in the area
with sufficient experience could
be drawn upon to teach many
of the sessions.
1t was pointed out that high
school credit could not be given
to students in classes taught by
persons lacking the required
formal education. Board mem
ber Helen Allyn Macdonald
said there might be many adults
in the community who would be
interested in taking art classes
even if credit is not available.
The superintendent said the
school facilities are available
for adult classes, but they must
be able to sustain themselves
financially. He said ten stu
dents would be minimum
number in each class.
The board also took action
Monday night in these fields:

Strong, pastor of Chardon's
Pilgrim Christian Church, was

chers and other employees in
the Munson and Hambden
schools were adjusted to coin
eide, as closely as possible, with

with its architect, Arthur F. Si-
dells of Warren and spent al
most an hour going ever plans
for the new elementary build
ing to be constructed on Maple

ance of bonds for the construc-
ton of the building. Payments

An enlarged summer educa-
tional program in Chardon
schools may be put into effect
this year if the administration
and board of education take ac-
ton on several proposals dis
cussed at the boards meeting
Monday night.
'The only thing stopping an
expanded summer schedule is
public interest" Superintendent
Ira A. Garfield said today. He
reported a lack of interest In
programs sponsored during past
summers.
At the board meeting two
types of summer classes were
discussed - remedial and en-
richment.
During past summers remed-
ial reading and a conversational
French course have ben offered
in the elementary school. The
superintendent said these might
be expanded to include remed-
ia1 math and art and music clas-
ses in the enrichment field.
Remedial classes in math, En-
glish and history have been tu-
tored in the junior and senior
high schools. In the senior high
Paul Safko has been carrying
on program of both remedial
and advanced math, according
to Supt. Garfield.
He said remedial programs on
these levels could be expanded
at any time, and such enrich
ment courses as manual arts,
home economics, typing, driver
training and art could be offer
ed.
