SENSE 10], BUT IT was RECED IVA i'd 1 14 NEWS ITEM - As a result of teacher and program cutbacks, some 6th grade students at the Dallas Migdis School have as many as 10 study halls weekly. el ) ontinued from page 1) Commonwealth Court of Appeals handed down a decision in favor of the boy attending SSD but the school district has appealed that - decision in Federal Court. . . Dorothy Rubel, Mark's grand- mother, asked the board, “Why has the district refused the fam- ily's request that in the interim Mark be allowed to attend SSD while the district's case in appeal? Federal guidelines stipulate proper age and grade level placement. Why is Mark not getting the proper education?” Board members did not respond to her questions. “Susan Davis, a student of Rubel’s at Bloomsburg, asked the board, “What if Mark were your ‘zon? In the class he is in now he no friends, no one to talk with. Would you want that for your child?” Rubel asked the board numer- ous fimes why it hadn't provided an interpreter for the meeting. “We conformed to the statement made by- Attorney Savage at the last meeting that the district must be notified at least one week in ad- vance and we did that but there is 12h interpreter here,” Rubel said. Whe board solicitor replied that he didn’t believe the law requres the district to provide an inter- avetér unless Dutton is on the jenda and it relates to academic or discipline items. Rubel and another interpreter ‘present proceeded to act as inter- preters for the Dutton family and friends at the meeting, then pre- sented the board with a bill for Don't miss a thing Subscribe! “Mark’s studies have regressed since he has been placed in the LIU 18 class.” Don Rubel Mark Dutton’s uncle services at Tuesday's meeting and at past meetings. Rubel then presented a copy of a letter written by Mrs. Dutton to Nancy Davis, superintendent of the district, in which she stated that her brother had informed Dr. Boston that she would be attend- ing every board meeting until fur- ther notice and that she would require the services of a Gualiied sign language interpreter.

She and her family own property here and are taxpayers and will continue to attend all of the board meetings. We will be at every meeting,” Rubel concluded. Teachers (continued from page 1) “When I first came to Dallas District it was one of the best in the area, but now I see it as average. We need to have the desire to see education at the top level. The board is doing a good job but we need to getback to dedicated teach- ing and also get rid of some of the outside reasons.” Brown, teaching for Mrs. Cans non who will be out for the year, said he hopes the programs will be brought back. “I was given no assurance by the superintendent that I would be called back next school year. I am teaching now by seniority and there was a position open. “I like it at Dallas and I like the kids and I'm hoping and praying the district will bring back the programs and furloughed teach- ers,” Brown said. Brown said he is still the bas- ketball coach since he didn't re- sign but hasn't yet made up his mind whether he will continue. “There’s more to coaching than recruiting. You have to give time to work with the program. When I was at the high school I was free at lunch and during my prep period. I could make phone calls concern- ing the team. I stayed with the program this summer but I have- n't made up my mind. I expected more support from the board.” Brown is still getting used to - teaching at a different level than he was accustomed to, and the change in his available time. “Teaching elementary is differ- ent than high school. I don't have the time to talk with the kids dur- ing the day. I'm concerned about the program on the part of the kids and their parents. I'm uncomfort- able whether or not I can be effec- tive with the kids since don’t have enough free time to talk with them and show them films. “Some of the kids have come to me and said they were not going out for the team if I decide not to coach and I hate to see the kids not taking advantage of participating in sports. I have to make up my mind soon,” Brown said. Brown and Storz are filling in for two of eight teachers in the Dallas District who are on sabbatical leave this year. Superintendent Gerald Wycal- lis, when questioned whether sabbaticals would cost the district more money, explained that it probably would not “Mrs. Storz and Mr. Brown are two of the teachers at the lower level of the salary scale. Even though teachers were furloughed they continue to receive their fringe benefits which are as much or probably more than the sabbatical salary which is approximately half of their regular salary. According to the teachers’ agreement, 10 percent of the teachers are eligible for sabbatical each year. “Since several of the teacherson sabbatical this year are on the a highest or nearly highest level, it’ 's an even wash since the money paid to Storz and Brown are paid from the funds not paid to the | sabbaticals,” Wycallis explained. * Wyecallis said he couldn't an- i swer the question whether or not | the programs dropped from the schedule this year would be rein- : stated nextyear and the furloughed + teachers called back. “That is up to the board to de- 4 cide. If our request for a waiver to the Department of Education al- : : lowing us to keep the additional : 2 $130,000 we received instead of rebating it to the taxpayers is ; approved, that money may be used foronly two reasons-bringingback programs that were cut or pur- chasing supplies and equipment that were cut. If we bring back the programs we will need the teach- . J ers,” Wycallis said. “Thatdecisionis up tothe board. They will have to study the Dest choiceandvoteonit,” he explained.
