Board OK’s Planning
The State Board of Educa
tion has authorized the Georgia
Department of Education to
seek funds to conduct a pilot
project to assess the educa
tional achievements of nine
year-old students in certain
areas. Results of this study will
be used to create a model to
assess all nine-year-old students
in the State.
“Most educators and child
development experts agree that
the completion of the third
grade, the time when the
majority of students become
nine years old, is a critical mile
stone in a child’s school
career,” says Associate State
School Superintendent H.
Titus Singletary. “It is the
point at which the student who
has not acquired basic aca
demic skills begins to fall rapid
ly behind his peers.”
According to Singletary,
this project will be a step
toward determining what stu
dents should know at the
various age levels and whether
they are learning these things.
The State Board further
challenged the Department of
.Education staff to make an
additional study on ways to
implement educational pro
grams to insure that students
are learning what they need to
know at the various grade
levels.
The assessment data pro
duced in the project on nine
year-olds should provide educa
tors with the answers to the
ABANDON PETS
Rome-The Animal Pro

unaccustomed to life out
side the home.

are third graders learning? (2)
Are these learnings those which
they should be mastering if
they are to attain the educa

nine year olds? (3) Are the

categories?
In other State Board action,
a decision of a local board of
education was reversed. Mrs.
Rhonda Gowan Craft, a
fifteen-year-old studenj in
Early County, appealed the
Early County Board of Educa
tion’s ruling that a student
upon his or her marriage must
drop out of school for one
year. The State Board of Edu

prived Mrs. Craft of her consti

FOR THOSE BORN IN 1953
Reclassification Set
Draft boards throughout the nation are beginning to reclassify
those men born in 1953 with lottery numbers 100 and below.
Those with numbers up to 70 will be examined in December if
not previously examined.
These men have been in Class I-H and will be reclassified into
Class 1-A if they are not eligible for a lower classification.
However, men born in 1953 will not be subject to induction until
January 1, 1973 and then only if their lottery numbers are
reached.
Although we do not know yet whether inductions will be
required during the first six months of 1973, there' is every
likelihood that the Army will require some draftees. If so, some
portion of the men with lottery numbers through 75 will be
ordered for induction in order to fill calls the first six months of
1973.
For further information on your status, contact your local
draft board.
