Suspension (continued from page 1) Griffiths said the school board was uncomfortable adding a full- time position for a program that hadn't yet been proven. If the district doesn’t come up with an alternative, the grant money will be returned to the state. Griffiths wrote an $8,000 grant request last summer as part of the Dallas Education Alternative Learning (DEAL) program to in- stall in-school suspension. The grant was approved in November, and the district matched the $8,000. The grant only covered one semester of the program. “The program was an interme- diate step between detention and out-of-school suspension,” said Griffiths. “It was a program that was in place six or seven years ago before it was let go due toa money crunch.” Students who had for- merly been assigned a three or five day suspension could instead spend the time in the program. Griffiths’ plan was to revive the program with the grant money and show the district that DEAL was an asset to the school. “I'd hoped to possibly get the board to authorize it as a program for next year,” said Griffiths. “We set up a room in the high school and put six computers in there with language arts, math and science programs to provide extra study time,” he said. The room was big enough to handle up to 15 students at a. time. “It would've been beneficial for students and teachers in both the MOVERS AND SHAKERS COOK'S PHARMACY, ® Computerized Prescription Service ® Russell Stover Candies ( ® Greeting Cards * PA Lottery Tickets ® Newspapers ® Magazines 159 N.

It's too bad it had to come down to a management/union issue,” said Griffiths. The program lasted only from January 20 to February 9. Griffiths said four people applied for the supervisor's position, and the per- son who was hired understood that the district could not afford to consider the job a professional position. : Wagner agreed that the pro- gram is a good one. He said the DEA fought for it when it was cancelled in 1990. “I think every- body admits it’s a great and valu- able program. They can still imple- ment it,” he said. Wagner said the two supervisors of the program prior to its cancellation in 1990 were paid a professional salary.

Ragnacci said Ridge’s plan is to have all schools linked together on the Penn. Education Network. “The money is to get schools started on this goal,” she said. The high school currently has an IBM computer lab and a* Macintosh lab. Different classes take turns using. the labs during the eight periods in the day. “This is an important project because information is doubling every 18 months,” said Ragnacci. “There is so much information out there that we can’t afford to give them in a printed book.” Students utilize a variety of educational software. Many classes, including accounting, science and english, use the . internet as an educational supple- ment. Ragnacci said the school hopes to work on wide area networking- for the final year of Link-to-Learn: This would mean bringing an-’ other building into the network: that may be farther away from the. main connection at the high: school. “We look forward to move i. this direction,” said John Oliver; . high school principal.
