KUHS Administrators Make Way For Sixth Subjects
Administrators at Klamath Un
ion High School who have been
working out the split shift sched
ule for the coming year have
been able to make arrangements
for several of the activities that
were literally demanded by par
ents when the split shift decision
was made several months ago.
One of the most important
parts of the program has been
the inclusion of a sixth subject
for all students who desire to
take advantage of this extra pe
riod and who qualify with a B
average.
The extra course will be avail
able during the first period in
the afternoon when the freshmen
are beginning their school day.
Sophomores, juniors and seniors
will lake their regular five class
es during the morning session
from 7 o'clock until 12:15 p.m.,
and those electing a sixth sub
ject will remain at school fori
the first afternoon period.
The freshmen will start school
at 12:30 p.m. and remain until
5:30 p.m.
There will be a staggered 15
minute break arranged for
the morning session students and
Ihe afternoon students will all
break together. Food will be
available at tlie cafeteria, but
the exact schedule of operation
will not be known until adminis
trators ore able to determine ex
actly how many students will util
ize the facility.
Paul Angstead. assistant princi
pal, said the 1.600 morning stu
dents will utilize every bit of
classroom space, but each teach
er will have his own room, some
thing that was impossible lasll
year when the teachers were not
used to best advantage during
Iree periods.
All the si
activities will be available and
the athletic program has been
improved, Angstead said.
Athletes instead of practicing
until late hours at night will be
able to return for a normal eve
ning meal with the family. Prac
tice sessions will probably start!
soon after the morning session
ends. Frosh athletes will have
their workout from 10 a.m. until
12 noon before their regular class
ics begin.
One of tlie biggest thorns in
the side of the split shift is the
bus schedule and the inconve
nience of getting up in the early
morning hours.
The bus schedule has not been
worked out yet, but there is some
indication that the necessity for
double shifting the students will
be obviated. Buses may only
have to make one run to get stu-
extracurricular i dents to school at one time in
stead of making several runs like
last year. Tie earliest students
will have to meet a bus probably
will be between 6:20 and 6:30
a.m. to make 7 o'clock classes.
We are concerned about the
comfort and convenience of the
students, but their education is
our first consideration," C. E.
eleven, the new KU principal,
said.

of the administrators that last
year's conditions were far too
overcrowded for an adequate edu

factor of 80 per cent is considered

anything over that figure is
termed overcrowded.
Laws About Education
Differ in Every State
By DAVID NYDICK
UI'I Education Specialist
Laws covering education vary
somewhat from state to state but
they have similar provisions. Par
ents should have sufficient know
ledge of them so they w ill under-
land their rights and responsi
bilities.
School attendance is compulsory
and parents bave a choice of fi
nancing a private education or
using the public schools.
In either case, tlie public schools
are available for a complete pro
gram through high school gradu
ation. The parents have the re
sponsibility to keep their children
in attendance during tlie required
ages. Penalties generally arc im
posed for those who do not obey
these laws.
Various aspects of each school
are covered by state laws which
set certain minimum standards.
The local school board very often
provides educational programs
which surpass these basic require
ments. Tlie school board in a
community which has an interest
in quality education and is willing
to support such a program usual
ly will go well beyond the mini
mum required by the state.
Law Varies Widely
Naturally, there are many var
iations in the different states as
well as in the communities with
in a state. The laws generally
provide minimum salaries, tenure.
and retirement for employes. New
buildings and major renovations
must be approved by the state
The state also recommends and
acts as a consultant in all areas
of education. A copy of the law
is probably available in the school
office or local library.
The local school board repre
sents you. Special requests may
be directed to the school board
but you should first go to the
school administration. Most re
quests are handled by the prin
cipal or superintendent within es
tablished policies.
Bus transportation is organized
on a mileage basis. It often var
ies with grade level. In some
communities exceptions are made
for handicapped children or those
who have dangerous streets to
cross. If you have any questions
concerning transportation, ask to
see a copy of the school policy.
In unusual circumstances you
might make a special request to
the school board.
Provisions For Handicapped
Many children have particular
handicaps, interests, and needs.
If the local school cannot cope
with these, provisions may some
times be made to obtain the ne
cessary program from outside the
local system. In many cases, the
state requires the local school
board to pay the costs. This will
usually include transportation.
If your child is deaf, blind or
otherwise seriously handicapped,
you should investigate the avail
able programs with your local
school system arid the state edu
cation department. If your child is
interested in a specialized high
school course, (automotive, aero
nautics, etc.) which is not offered
locally, you should investigate the
possibility of a school in another
district. This can be done through
tlie local superintendent's office.
There are several important fac
tors to remember. If you have a
problem, clarify your responsibil
ities as well as the schools. The
schools are maintained for the
public's benefit. This does not
mean that the school is at the
mercy of each individual's whim.
The parents and the schools both
have responsibilities. Cooperation
is tor the bcnciit of the children.
