Children’s Pre-School Pound-up Extended from Birth thru School
Committee Recommends
Teachers’ New Retirement
Plan for Chatham County
Tn January, 1050, the Board of
Education in reviewing the local
retirement rmcram found that it
was aetuariallv unsound. A Retire-
Committee amvrtnted ...
ment wts
with M”. Joe Webster as Chair-
in' ti. The C.'imm ttee immeilntelv i,i
cdled for „ a cumulate , , study , , of , ,. toe
P'wram, and the actuary firm of
Buck and As:oc : at“.s was retained
to make a detailed analysis of the
plen. It was found that to fund
the present n!nn it would requ've
an additional $504,.118 per year for
30 years, ft was immediately ap¬
parent to the Board that adjust¬
ments would be necessary. Buck
and Associates was then returned
to reorganize the plan with speci¬
fic instructions to keep three
points in mind: (1) To be as fair
as possible to members under the
plan, (2) To make it actuarially
sound, and (3) To make it eco¬
nomically feasible.
The plun outlined below has
been thoroughly studied by the Re
tenement Committee. The Commit-
tee voted unanimously to recom¬
mend to the Board adoption of the
new plan.
The new plan will require an
additional $137,000 Contribution
from the Board of Education each
year plus administrative costs for
the next thirty years. The Retire¬
ment Committee of the Board of
Education and committees repre¬
senting participants in the iocal
retirement plan for both profes¬
sional and non-professional em
ployees of the Chatham Count j
Public School system met Mondar
afternoon, February 1, 19(10, with
Mr. Harry Gershenson, Senior As
sociate of George V. Buck, Con
suiting Actuary in New York City
At the meeting Mr. Gershensor
outlined a reorganization of th<
locfl retirement plan. The reor-
[i tat ion provides for contribu
from participants and a con
ution from the Board of Edu
on that would make the plat
aclsarially sound.

Summer Round-up since 192S
and a familiar term to all has
‘grown up” and has become an
expanded program, “Continu¬
ous Health Supervision” of
Children from birth through
school, rather than a program
of single apprai-al on school
entrance.
1 It is a challenge to all of us
to work and make this program
as well known to everyone as
the Summer Round-up has for
the past thirty-five years.
1 According to official sources
it is indicated that some 4,592
pre-school children will enter
school for the first time in Sep¬
tember 1980.
| Preparing children to enter
school is just part of the con-
i tinuous health supervision and
gives the parent the opportun¬
ity to see to it that the child’s
physical status is evaluated.
This include dental and visual
examinations as well as physi¬
cal.
Entering school requires a
major adjustment on the part
of the child To help parents*
help their children, all school.^ J
are planning meetings with th
parent group during the week
of March 7-11 to discuss ways
and means of preparing the
child to make these adjust¬
ments.
Each parent who has a child
entering school in the fall
should find out from that par¬
ticular school the exact date
and time set for the parents
meeting (orientation).
At the meeting parents will
be told on what date pre-school
children will visit the school,
the date needed to enter the
child in school and arrange¬
ments for physical examination.
Beach Band To
Present Concert
The Alfred E. Beach band
will sponsor a concert on Mon¬
day night, February 8 at 8 p.
m. in the school auditorium.
The band under ,the capable
direction of Samuel Gill, band¬
master, promises an evening of
delightful entertainment. The
public is urged to attend this
concert and encourage these
young musicians.
Harry Mobley was the doctor.
The Gra-Y boys plan to attend
the physical education activities at
West Broad Street YMCA on Sat¬
urdays. They will be accompanied
by their advisors, Mrs. Eleanor
Williams and Miss Julia Johnson.
