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

ards in order to insure th at the
students of this D istrict have an
excellent educational opportu

constraints. We are concerned

curriculum standards could (1)
adversely im pact the ongoing
in-district review process, and
(2) result in curriculum stand-
