IN THE RED HiLL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OF ROUTE 2~ IN ALBEMARLE COUNTY FROM THE NELSON- ALBEMARLE COUNTY LiNE NORTHWARD TO 1.~62 MILES SOUTH OF NORTH FORK HARDWARE RIVER. COMMUNICATION WAS RECEIVED FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS ADVISING THAT OPTION BEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 9,,'196~, COVERING THE RIGHT OF WAY NEEDED IN CONNECTION WITH CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE ON ROUTE ?~,~ HAD BEEN RECEIVED IN THAT OFFICE AND CEPTED~ DAVID ~ERND, STUDENT ~OVERNMENT ~HAtRMAN OF THE ~OARD OF SUPERVISORS, APPEARED ALONG ~ITH O~HER STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES AND PRESENTED TO THE ~OARD RECO~ENDATIONS ~J AND SUGGESTIONS FROM THEIR GROUP. THE STUDENTS WERE COMPLIMENTED FOR THEIR EXCELLENT REPORT AND IT WAS ORDERED THAT THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS BE INCORPORATED IN THE MINUTES OF THIS MEETING AB FOLLOW8~ REPORT ~F THE ALBEMARLE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DECEMBER 1~, 1966 'WE~ THE ALBEMARLE COUNTY STUDENT E~3ARD OF SUPERVISORS RECOMMEND AND SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING AFTER CONSIDERABLE THOUGHT~ 1) WE FEEL THERE IS A PRESSING NEED FOR A SYSTEM OF ZONING LAWS IN ALBEMARLE COUNTY DUE TO THE LACK OF PROTECTION TO OUR RESIDENTIAL AREAS~ AND THE UNCHECKED GROWTH OF INDUSTRY. AFTER TAKING A THOROGGH POLL OF THE STUDENT8 OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY! WHOM WE BE- LIEVE REFLECT THE OPINIONS OF THEIR PARENTS~ WE FOUND A LACK OF EVEN AN UNDERSTANDING OF ZONING LAWS. FOR THIS REASON WE ADVISE A SYSTEM WHEREBY THE CITIZENS OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY ARE EDUCATED ON THE PROS AND CONS OF THIS ISSUE. 2) ANOTHER PROBLEM FACING ALBEMARLE COUNTY IS THAT OF REAPPORTIONMENT OF VOTING PRECINCTS. OUR BELf~F IS THAT A NEW SYSTEM OF RECORDING VOTES IS NEEDED, THE PROBLEM IS DEALING WITH THE SLOWNESS OF RETURNS, THE FOLLOWING ARE THREE POSSIBLE PROGRAMS= A SMALL NUMBER OF LARGE PRECINCTS EACH EQUIPPED WITH A VOTING MACHINE. A LARGE NUMBER OF SMALL PRECINCTS WHOSE RETURNS WOULD BE COUNTED BY HAND. THE PRESENT PROGRAM USING MACHINES IN THE LARGER PRECINCTS AND HAND COUNT IN THE SMALLER. tN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT POLLUTION AT THE LIOKINGHOLE CREEK AREA HAS BEEN VERY COS~E¥~TO ALBEMARLE COUNTY~ WE BELIEVE THERE IS A NEED FOR FURTHER POLLUTION REGULATION TO PROTECT OUR OTHER WATER RESOURCES IN THE COUNTY. ~) ALSO TO BE CONSIDERED IS A SYSTEM OF SEPARATE FIRE PROTECTION FOR ALBEMARLE COUNTY. WE FEEL THAT THE GROWING POPULATION OF THE COUNTY MERITS THIS ACTION AND THE PROTECTION SHARED WITH THE CiTY IS NOT ADEQUATE TO THE OUTLYING AREAS OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY. ANOTHER OBSERVATION MADE IS THAT OF THE NEED FOR EXPANSION OF THE SHERIFFIS OFFICE. ALBEMARLE NEEDS STRONGER POLICE PROTECTION. ~) THE PROBLEM OF SATISFACTORY SNOW REMOVAL HAS ALSO BEEN DISCUSSED. WE RECOM- MEND THAT BETTER AND FASTER SNOW REMOVAL BE MADE POSSIBLE ON THE SECONDARY ROADS OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY~ AND THAT THE ROADS LEADING TO ALL COUNTY SCHOOLS BE KEPT CLEAR. THE ABOVE RECOIdMENDATIONS AND OBSERVATIONS WERE APPROVED BY UNANIIdOUS VOTE OF THE ALBEMARLE STUDENT BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.~ (SIGNED) DAVID L. BERND, CHAIRMAN WALTER SALLEY~ ~R,~ STUDENT CHAIRMAN OF THE SCHOOL BOARD PRESENTED RECOMMENDATIONS WHIC'H WERE ORDERED REFERRED TO THE SCHOOL E~OARD AND ALSO INCORPORATED IN MINUTES OF THIS MEETING AS FOLLOWS= 'WE~ THE STUDENT SCHOOL BOARD OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY~ AFTER A CAREFUL~ DELIBERATE~ AND THOROUGH STUDY~ HEREBY SUGGEST: -~THAT THE PRESENT~ SYSTEM OF PURCHASING TEXTBOOKS BY THE INDIVIDUAL SHOULD STAND. WE FOUND THAT THE DISADVANTAGES OF A FREE OR A RENTAL TEXTBOOK SYSTEM OUTWEIGH THE AD- VANTAGES. HOWEVER~ WE FEEL THAT OUR PRESENT SYSTEM WOULD BE blORE EFFECTIVE UNDER THE CON- DITIONS THAT THE INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS COMPRISING THE COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM BE APPROPRIATED MONEY IN ORDER TO BUY USED TEXTBOOKS FROM THE STUDENTS OF THESE. RESPECTIVE SCHOOLS SO THAT TEXTBOOKS CAN BE PROVIDED FOR INDIGENTS~ OUT-OF-STATE TRANSFER~ AND RETURNING STUDENTS. FEEL THIS IS NECESSARY~ FOR THE COST OF TEXTBOOKS PUTS AN ADDED BURDEN UPON THE PARENTS OF SAID STUDENTS. ---THAT THE PRESENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM OF COUNTY SCHOOLS BE STUDIED~ IN ORDER THAT AN INCREASED NUMBER OF DIRECTORS (WHO ARE FULLY qUALIFIED~ ACCREDITED DIRECTORS) BE EMPLOYED SO THAT EACH STUDENT WILL RECEIVE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF'ATTENTION FROM HIS RESPECTIVE COUNSELOR BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE THE ,SAID COUNSELOR PLAYS IN THE STUDENTS~ ACADEMIC AND EMOTIONAL ADJUSTMENT. 1. A., COST OF INTRODUCTION OF SUCH A SYSTEM WOULD BE APP. $150,000 AND IN YEARS WHERE THERE IS NO CHANGE IN TEXTBOOKS AND APP. ~105~000 IN YEARS Wr.HERE NEW TEXT- BOOKS ARE INTRODUCED. EXPENSE OF ADMINISTRATORS. C, THE FACT THAT MANY ADMINISTRATORS MAY USE BOOKS PAST. THE (f>-YEAR SYSTEM OF USING ONE TEXT BECAUSE OF TRYING TO GET AS MUCH MONEY OUT OF THE RENT OF THESE BOOKS~ ETC, FOLLOWING THE EXAMPLE OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE~ ARE WE TO FORCE PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS SYSTEM? E. WHAT~ FOR EXAMPLE~ IF THE STUDENT SHOULD WISH TO KEEP A CERTAIN.TEXT FOR FURTHER USE~ EG. FOR USE IN COLLEGE?. 2. THosE STUDENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR WELFARE~ YET ARE STILL VERY POOR'IN RESPECT TO CONTEMPORARY STUDENTS; AND THOSE WELFARE PUPILS WHOp BECAUSE OF PRIDE! ETC.~ DO NOTt WISH TO GO ON WELFARE IN ORDER TO BE PROVIDED BOOKS. 3, AT ALBEMARLE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL~ WE HAVE THREE FULL-TIME COUNSELORS~ ONE WHOSE QUALIFICATIONS SEEM TO POINT IN THE DIRECTIONS OF SPORTS AND NOT GUIDANOE'* ANOTHER COUNSE- LOR IS PRESENT IN THE GUIDANCE OFFICEr YET HE HAS ONE-HALF A DAY OF CLASSES, AND IT DOES NOT SEEM FAIR TO HIM OR STUDENTS UNDER HIM TO HAVE TO HAVE HIS TIME SPLIT INTO TWO SUCH DISTINCT SECTIONS OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. OBSERVATIONS MADE BY STUDENT SCHOOL BOARD OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY: WE~ THE STUDENT SCHOOL BOARD OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY~ FEEL THAT THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS SHOULD BE STUDIED CAREFULLY~ THOROUGHLY, AND DELIBERATELY BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISOR8 OF ALBEMARLE 00UNTYo A. THAT THE STUDY BE MADE OF OFFERING SEX EDUCATION BE PROVIDED FOR ALL STUDENTS IN OR BEFORE THE JUNIOR YEAR OF A SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SYSTEM; AND THAT THIS COURSE BE OF- FERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND BE PRESENTED BY FULLY QUALIFIED AND AC- CREDITE~ TEACHERS IN SAID SUBJECT. THAT A STUDY BE MADE OF THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. IT HAS COME TO THIS BOARDtS ATTENTION THAT MANY OF THE SCHOOL BUSES COMING INTO ALBEMARLE COUNTY SCHOOLS ARE FACED WITH GROSSLY OVERCROWDED SITUATION. C. THAT TEACHERS FOR ALBEMARLE COUNTY SCHOOLS BE FULLY QUALIFIED AND ACCREDITED FOR THE SUBJECT THEY ARE TO TEACH. WE FEEL THAT THE STUDENTS OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY DESERVE TEACHERS OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER AND WHO ARE ABLE AND CAPABLE TO DEVOTE ALL OF THEIR TIME TO THE ONE SUBJECT INVOLVED. WE DO NOT FEEL THAT THE TEACHER CAN TEACH HIS STUDENTS TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY WHEN HIS TIME MUST BE DIVIDED BETWEEN TWO OR MORE SUBJECTS AND/OR FACETS OF SCHOOL EDUCATION OR ADMINISTRATION. ALSO BECAUSE BURLEY HIGH SCHOOL IS A dOINT CITY-COuNTY SCHOOL. ALL OF THE ABOVE RECOMMENDATIONS AND OBSERVATIONS MET WITH THE UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF THE STUDENT COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY, SCHOOLS REPRESENTED: ALBEMARLE HIGH SCHOOL JACKSON P.
