Ihe Clayton County schools have a budget of over $19,000,000 this year which averages out to $436.36 per child. $141,000 will be spent on replacing old books and purchasing new ones while $113,000 will go toward pur chase of library books In the ! past ten years the teaching stall has grown from 302 to 1011 w hile student enrollment has gone from about 10,000 Io 25,20(1. Seven new schools are under construction with com pletion of the Junior College expected by fall of 1969. We have a I 6 i dropout rate, that is. only 84 out of every 100 starling students graduate from j high school Ihe lunch room I budget does not show in the school figures and will be over one million dollars this year 81 , of the children eat in the lunch rooms daily. turning to the “curricu lum" of the schools. Mr Lee noted that this is a word that has different meanings to dif ferent people, but really should be the sum total of a child's experiences in school which will influence his lite. Ihe cur riculum presented and used in the schools is influenced by several factors: by government acts and legislation, by talking to students and teachers on a local level, by the general pub lic desiring courses that apply in certain areas; by cultural and scientific developments that demand up-grading in some in stances such as math and science; by special groups like the PI A and Youth Protection Foundation; by results ob tained through professional re search. Ihe decision of what to teach and exactly how to teach it. however, still lies with the individual classroom teacher With no further business to be conducted, the meeting was adjourned, with the Presidents Club luncheon to be held at Horne’s Restaurant. 3
