School Board May Discuss
Conflict; Schools To Open
Chattooga County Board of
Education Chairman Joel Cook
said the panel Monday night
may or mafiinot discuss the ap
garent conflict between official
hattooga lpolicy as cited in its
1982 application for state
funds for the Summerville Mid
dle School, and a different
policy which has been restated
several times in board
meetings since that time.
“We probably will. I don’t
know,” he said. ‘I imagine we
will. Really, this thing doesn’t
mean anything. It's no big
deal.”
Cook said last week that he
glanned to get with Chattooga
chool Supt. Don Hayes this
week to discuss the issue but
on Tuesday he said nothing
was likely to be discussed un
til the board’s meeting next
Monday night, if then.
The News revealed last
week that the board, in its ap
plication for state funds in
1982, had said the middle
school was projected to serve
Summerville area students but
that ‘“‘students outside of Sum
merville may opt to be
educated in tKe new facility
with transportation at board
expense.”’
THREE TIMES
But on at least three dif
ferent occasions since that
time, the board has said that
its policy forbids a student
crossing K.is school district line
to attend a school in another
district unless he has approval
of the school principal and he
is transported to the school by
his parents.
K state school official told
The News last week that the
policy conflict would have to be
dealt with by the Chattooga
board.
But Cook said Tuesday the
1982 statement ‘‘was just
something we had to do. We

some time. Pictured at the new parking

had a survey team come in here
and we just put that in there.”
However, last week, Bill
Gilbert of the Facilities Divi
sion of the Georgia Depart
ment of Education, saicF the
1982 statement, after it was
approved by the Chattooga
board, was tKen okayed by t%e
State Board of Education.
Meanwhile, Cook also said
Tuesday a rumor that Chat
tooga schools might not open
on time because O%the drought
was untrue. He said the schools
would open on schedule unless
the board was told by water
supf)liers not to open the
facilities.
STATE VIEWS
Superintendent Hayes also
contacted Barbara McClure of
the Regional Educational Ser
vices Department of Atlanta
Tuesday afternoon in the wake
of rumors that schools ml\élght
not open on time. rS.
McClure told Hayes that under
no circumstances were there
any plans now to postpone
school.
Hayes told The News
Wednesday morning that only
an order from the governor
would delay the opening of
schools in Chattooga County
and across the state.
“If the Governor asked that
water be preserved for personal
use only, then the opening of
school would be cafled off.’’
Hayes said. ‘‘Right now the
geople at the state level don’t
oresee that. If school were call
ed off, the regional director of
our area, Gene Norton of
Calhoun, would personally
notify the superintendents of
the region.”
Also on the agenda for the
Monday's board meeting is an
announcement that all school
personnel responsible for
transgortin% children are re
quired by the state to take a

INSPECTION
The board is expected to
schedule an afternoon tour of

schools in the system will be
totally air-conditioned by the
beginning of school. Pennville
and North Summerville
Elementary have some window
units, but no total system.
Final touches are being add
ed to the interior of the new
Summerville Middle School.
Superintendent Hayes told
The News Tuesday afternoon
that the school ‘‘could be
operational now’’ and would be
ready for students when school
begins Aug. 22.
“We have some exterior
work, such as paving, that still
needs to be completed,”” Hayes
said. “The interior is basically
ready for students at this
time.”
SCHEDULE
Teachers will begin their
pre-planning days on Monday,
Aug. 18. Students will begin
classes on Friday, Aug. 22.
Parents who need to register
children are advised to contact
school principals during pre
planning days.
“Parents are asked not to
wait until the first day of
school to register students,”
Hayes said. ‘The child's ad
justment to the first day is dis
