School Board Debate Over Year Round Schooling
Lenior--Residents of the town met to discuss concerns that senior citizens had about year round schooling and its effects on the wallet.
School board candidates took opposing stands on the proposal Tuesday night at the Lenior Retirement Community Center.
Several believed that the plan for a 12-month school year would eliminate the use of trailers that boarded the surplus students. Others proclaimed that the new schedule would be more expensive, and put different schools on different schedules.
School board candidate Henry Lane discussed his approval of year round schooling. When asked how year round schooling could improve the school, Lane said, "it would reduce the need for trailers."
Candidate Larry Doman said that his main concerns are eliminating overcrowding and increasing teachers' salaries.
Elton Fay believed that if year round schooling was put into effect, it would eliminate the need for trailers.
