An attempt during the last Board of Education meeting to reverse earlier school board action calling for a "closed campus" at Hinton High ended in defeat for two board members. Board member Donald Mock asked by motion "to rescind" the motion of the previous m6etin~g to close the high school campus for the 7th, 8th and 9th grade studtnts "until we carl make a better s[udy and get citizens input." "The motion was readily seconded1~ Clyde Grimmett saying the "Board had met with two of the "ad- ministrators for a work session" recently, and "they couldn't figure it out on how to close the campus. "I'm very disturbed that we didn't talk to them before we jumped up and closed it." Grimmett said. Grimmett and Mock had voted against the motion to require a closed campus at the high school. Mock said the school board already had a policy that would keep a student at the school if a parent wanted their child to stay on the school property. He said several of the high school students "go home and eat and make it hack to school and if a parent says: 'You go down to this little place and get a hot dog or hamburger today, I'm going to be out of town.' The kid goes." Mock said the school has a proiected enroll- ment of 487 students in the lower grades and a total enrollment of 931. He said they would have "problems" with that many children in the school. "We have had problems in the past," he said, "these little kids get together in the school, what are we going to do call the law on them?" David Honaker asked. "How many of those going into the 7th grade are coming out of the other schools? You're not going to have a disciplinary problem with approximently 200. They are coming to the school for the first time. They will do what they are told. You won't have much of a problem out of any of them. If the teachers do their job. If the administrators do their job." Bill Dillon said his motion was fora "one year trial period. " It it doesn't pan out I'll be. the first to say we couldn't work it out." He said the children could not be supervised if they were downtown. Mock closed his argument with a prepared list of ques- tions that he said had been asked of him by parents. How many classes will he cut out in order for the teachers to supervise 931 students attend- ing the school? Is roll call going to be called when each group goes to lunch? Do we have adequate rest rooms for each student to wash their hands before going to eat? Will the students go to the rest rooms to wash their hands as a group, and will some one be in the rest rooms to supervise? We have 8 to I0 doors at the school. Who is going to watch the doors to see that no one leaves? If the teacher is watching the student how will they watch the door? Is the quality of food going to he the same for each student? Will all get hot lunch or some hot and some cold? The public needs to know how the system will work and how the student will be treated, Mock said, Mock added that some par- ents have said "the 10th, 11th and 12th grade studm~ts are ones that should be kept in because they are the one most likely to get into trouble." Board ziegler said. "You asked if their was any public input on this. l think anybody that paid any attention to the election at all knew that Mr. Dillon cam- paigned off'the promise that he would make a motion to close Hinton High School campus when he was elected." "You made the same," Mock said. "I made the same comment and I was elected." an " "I didn't make y. Mock pointed out. "Our primary duty," Zieglet. told the citizens attending the meeting, "is to educate kids. Not to support the downtown business people. I'm sorry if you all are hurt." Bonnie Young, part owner of the Masonic Fountain, spoke from the audience. 'Tin not here because I'm in business. I'm here because some class has been taken away from my child just so he or she can eat. I disagree with that." "The curriculum," Ziegler said, "for the 7th, 8th and 9th grader is pretty much required. Those students will get what is Continued on page i0 a• Ella Marie Atkins Miss Ella Marie Atkins, West Virginia's Junior Miss 1984, will participate in the Coronation of Queen Mermaid XIX, Mart Ayers.
