County School Bd. Outlines
New Evaluation Program
When it's time for semi
annual fitness reports on
members of the armed
forces serving in
Washington, somebody
usually goes to the ar
chives and digs out a
colonel's evaluation of a
captain serving in his
command during the
Revolutionary War.
In summing up his
opinion of the captain, the
colonel states, ''He is a
rake, a knave and a
scoundrel who Is despised
by every man in this
command -■ the very
dregs of the earth.”
The colonel's harsh
comments are usually
good for a chuckle among
servicemen sweating out
fitness reports, and
maybe they will be
comforting to Houston
County school teachers
who are scheduled to
receive evaluation
reports during the 1980 81
school year.
The evaluation report
program, which will be
phased in over a two year
period, was outlined for
members of the school
board during a regular
session in Warner Robins
Monday night.
Hubert A. Hutcherson,
assistant superintendent
for instruction, told board
members the program
will begin in October with
the appointment of a
teacher task force with at
least one teacher from
every school represented.
Hutcherson said the
task force will develop a

first to teachers, then to
the school board for
approval in May, 1979.
Hutcherson said in
Sept., 1979, an ad
ministrative task force
will be appointed to make
a similar study for school
administrators.
"This is the first step in
establishing due process
for removing in
competent teachers,”
School Supt. David
Perdue said.
As outlined by Hut
cherson, school prin
cipals will have a chance
to approve the evaluation
procedure before the
board receives it in
April, 1980.
In May 1980, the
schedule calls for an
"instrument for ad
ministrative evaluation
to be used with a selective
group of principals, and
an instrument for teacher
evaluation to be used with
a selective group of
teachers."
The evaluation report
grades teachers on their
appearance and their
ability to get along with
fellow teachers, parents,
principals, other ad
ministrators, secretaries,
custodians, cafeteria
workers, teachers aides
and others.
After the evaluation
reports are applied to the
selective groups of
teachers and principals,

The sample report also
calls for marking
teachers on their control
of student behavior,
classroom assignments,
and whether the students
treat the teacher with
respect or disrespect.
The evaluator is also
asked to grade the
teacher as acceptable,
needs improvement or
poor, and in an overall
statement, to state the
teacher's strength and in
what areas the teacher
needs improvement.

Top 16,000 Here
“It was one of the
smoothest openings I can
remember."
Thus did Houston
County School Supt.
David Perdue describe
the first day of school last
Friday.
Perdue, who made the
remark during a regular
session of the school
board in Warner Robins
Monday night, said 14,925
students enrolled last
Friday, and that the
number had climbed to
15,416 Monday.
Perdue predicted from
500 to 600 more students
would be enrolled by next
Tuesday, and bring the
total enrollment to about
16,000.
"Some students seem
to think school doesn't
start until the day after
Labor Day," Perdue
said.
He said there are fewer
first graders than
originally predicted for
the year - 1,135 instead of
1,170 - and stated that
adjustments will be made
at some schools to keep
the student-teacher ratio
at about 25 students per
teacher.
The board authorized
Perdue to make whatever
adjustments that are
necessary, and to report
back to them when the
changes are made.
Perdue informed the
board that early
enrollment figures for
grades one through six
are usually more ac
curate than those for
junior high schools and
senior high schools.
Enrollment figures
disclosed for Kings
Chapel elementary were
20 students in kin-
dergarten, 33 first
graders, 28 second, 29

and 25 sixth graders for a

Perry elementary
enrollment included 116
first graders, 99 in the
second, 96 third, 94 fourth
and 102 fifth graders for a
total of 507 students.
