Feeder Schools
Costing District

Board Discovers

Board of Education, Smyrna
Special School District, a reas-
'sessment of insurance values
for the entire district made by
the Wroten-Pratt Insurance e
Company was considered. In
surance values which stood at
81, ,522,l50 a year have now
been increased to $2,600,000. ].
Reynolds Pratt, member of the
insurance firm, will be invited
to attend the July % meeting
to discuss the entire insurance
matter. The board discussed
federal money available under
the National Defense Education
Act for use in improving SCI
ence, mathematics and foreign
languages. DR.. George V. Kirk,
superintendent, read a letter
which relayed a ruling by At
torney General Bove. A tuition
bill has been passed by the Cen
eral Assembly which would pay
districts such as Smyrna for
students coming in from out
side. At the present time Smyr-
ma takes approximately 200 pu-
pills from outside its district,
Clayton, Kenton, Leipsic, and
Hartly. Districts which have
received such tuition" pupils
must bear the cost of debt SER
vice resulting from additional
construction. 1t is felt, how
ever, that feeder districts should
assist in paying a portion of the
cost, which in Smyrna would
be approximately $50 per pupil.
Additional Rooms
Superintendent Kirk has stat
ed "A successful high school
today, in order to offer a wide
variety of courses, must have
sufficient student enrolment.
The ability of the John Bassett
Moore High School to offer
courses in physics, chemistry,
solid geometry, trigonometry, as
we'll as business education, re-
suits in part from adequate en-
rollment. Increased enrolment,
therefore, is a very desirable
thing. Nevertheless, this has
forced the Smyrna Specia a |
School District to build addi-
tional rooms to care for ele-
mentary pupils displaced from
the high school," The board
authorized the superintendent
to accept the student-athletic
insurance proposal of the Louis
j. Parker, Jr. Insurance Com
pany, Dover, for l959-60. This
insurance has been approved by
the Delaware Athletic Commits
sion. At a cost of $l.75 per
pupil, the program will cover
pupils in school, going to and
from school, attending athletic
or other after-school activities,
and participating in all sports,
including football. An overall
summary of the promotion pol
icies showed that during the
l958-59 school year 81 per cent
of the elementary pupils were
promoted; 85 per cent of the
high school pupils, and 81 per
cent of the Thomas D. Clay
ton School.
Milk Program
/ Approval was given for the
start of a morning or afternoon
recess milk program for the ele-
mentary school. The board al
so took action to assume full
responsibility for the Thomas
ID. Clayton School cafeteria
which has been operated in the
past by the PTA. The board
approved the request of Mrs.
| Barbara Wallace Bilbrough of
Clayton, to return to school to
complete her senior year.
