Rotarians Asked To Donate Funds For Elberta Program By BRIGETTE LOUDERMILK Editor In an "effort to break the welfare cycle" a teen parenting program has been established at the Elberta Open Campus High School in Warner Robins, Ellen Strait told Perry Rotarians at their regular meeting Monday, Feb. 28. Strait said there are currently 30 young mothers enrolled in the pro gram, wiih six students from Perry attending. Strait discussed not only the pro gram, but appealed to the club for a monetary donation so that a van could be purchased to transport sev eral of the young mothers and chil dren to the school each day. Strait said a day care center is set up at the school to watch the girls' children during the time they are in classes. She also said the program in Houston County is the third teen parenting program in the state. Funds are provided from the state to set up the program and format and rules were established by the local school board. Four stipulations to the program are: •The program must be at Elberta. •The program is voluntary. •No family planning counseling is permitted. •The student must only have one child, and must be dismissed from the program if she becomes preg nant again. Strait added that although a teenager in high school does not have to drop out if she becomes pregnant, the teen parenting pro gram is chosen by many because of the day care provided. Strait also said that 95 percent of the graduates from the program have "gone on to receive more edu cation or are employed."
