Education recommendations presented to board T ask force recom m endations on education reform were ac cepted a t the Ja n u ary 28, 1985 509-J school board meeting. The central them e of the report, developed by educators and con cerned com m unity members, fo cused on a retention of local cóntro! in educational m atters. Local task forces were organ ized following studies indicat ing U nited States student’s a- chievement was less than th at of students in other countries. It was decided th a t educational reform was needed and had to be started a t a local level. Presented b y co-chairpersons Suzanne H arrison and Clayton^ ,Earl the 509-J task force posi tion statem ents are as follows: 1. T ex tb o o k s are fundam en tal to classroom instruction. Therefore, the selection and use of the best possible textbooks is one of the essentials in the deve lopm ent of a superior edtìca- tional program : 2. Because District 509-J helps to prepare students to partici pate in the work force and other areas of adult social responsi bility, the D istrict should strive to develop an educational pro gram which emphasizes study skills, listening skills, work skills, and goal attainm ent. 3. Given there is a vast diver sity in student ability levels, D istrict 509-J will endeavor to develop a program th at will meet the unique needs of all students. 4. The classroom is the prim ary setting used for instruction in the public school system. Disruption of the classroom rou tine caused by disciplinary pro blems, substance abuse, or exces sive absenteeism adversely affects the educational opportunity for every student. D isruption of the classroom is caused by a small minority of students. 5. Instruction services pro vided in the public education system are labor intensive. Tea chers are the prim ary services providers. To help insure the o p p o rtu n ity 'o f each studept to receive a superior education, it is essential th at all classroom instructors perforiri their respon sibilities in a com petent, profes sional andrindustrious manner. 6. State-wide standards for curriculum have been proposed by the S tate D epartm ent of Education. This action has been, a t least partially, in response to the N ation-at-R isk report. We believe our D istrict has been co n tin u o u sly review ing and updating the curriculum stand ards in order to insure th at the students of this D istrict have an excellent educational opportu n ity within reasonable financial constraints.
