Craft Talks About Board Policies
By Julie Harrison
School Board member Mr.
Clifford Craft feels that the job of
the Ashland School Board is a
'"real challenge." He compares
school to "A big business" in
which "we're the board of
directors."
Craft is one of five school board
members and is now in his second
term of service. He defines the
School Board as the "policy
makers" of the school district.
In discussing flexible sched
uling, Craft commented that
modular scheduling would be "an
advantage to a lot of students."
He noted, however, that there are
time and money limitations that
prevent the immediate adoption
of a new system. He expects a
modular type of scheduling in the
future.
Regarding the curriculum
change now under consideration
by the administration in which
Students Work
While Teachers
Relax in Summer
Results of a recent survey of
Ashland High Students indicates
that 85 per cent of the students
will be working in the area and
the remaining 15 per cent will be
traveling.
On the other hand, teachers
and administrators will take it
easy and enjoy their vacations. A
few teachers, such as Mr. Brock,
Journalism and English; and Mr.
Iliggins; Biology, will be going
back to college.
Mrs. Zwick, Dean of Girls, will
be traveling with her husband to
visit their son and his family in
Belgium.
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days would be as they are now
while Tuesdays and Thursdays
would be open to each individual
student's plans. Craft said he
could see both advantages and
problems. He explained that the
School Board could not initiate
such a change independently.
According to Craft, the pri
mary interest of the Board is "to
provide the best education for the
children of the district with the
money provided by the tax
payers." He feels the Ashland
educational system is fortunate
in not having to have frequent
budget elections and being able to
stay within the maximum 6 per
cent per year budget increase.
Because of its size Ashland is
not subject to Oregon's state
tenure laws, although Medford is.
Craft explained when asked
about Ashland's hiring and firing
policy concerning teachers. In
stead, teachers receive one year
contracts their first three years
in the district. After, that they get
three year contracts. Teachers
are evaluated each year.
