favor of public schools educa-
tion funding.
The Chickasha Teachers
Assn, said it is also urging pat-
rons to contact their elected
representatives to ask for
more state aid for next year.
Glazier said the advantage
of the new classroom sche-
dule is to allow more classes at
USAO for honors students.
High School Principal
Dicky Powell said under the
new schedule, there will be no
increased costs to the district.
He added that students could
add new courses, including
keyboarding in computer sci-
ence.
He said he does not know
how many students will take
elective courses until after the
QUANTF,
semester will be moved to
classrooms in other facilities.
Martha Brooks, a patron,
said the school board should
spend more money to im-
prove educational opportuni-
ties for gifted children. She
added that the district has 17
teachers for remedial courses
and one and half teachers for
the gifted program.
Also at the hearing, a high
school student broke into
tears because she opposed the
recommendation of the task
force to eliminate the break-

— Heard a protest by
Roseann Applegate, a teacher,
in the recommendation of the
task force to eliminate the
training postion in the foot-
ball program to save $800. She
said the job is important be-
cause a trainer can prevent
major injuries by getting
them treated at an early stage
of the injury.

students in the breakfast

commendations of the task
force report, leading to an esti-
mated savings of $112,500 for
I next school year.
The task force recom-
I mended major cuts in the fis-
| cal 1987-88 school district
budget in the face of an antici-
i pated 15 percent cut, sparked
I by declining state aid income.
I The board unanimously
I voted to change the high
| school class schedule to a
| seven-hour day at an esti-
| mated savings of $110,000 and
closed the South Annex clas-
sroom building to save an
additional $2,500. The board
actions will become effective
next fall.
The task force report said
by going to a seven-hour day,
the district would eliminate
five teaching positions.
It said its recommendation
called for changing class
priods to seven 50-minute
periods. At present, a high
school teacher has classes
with an average of 22 students
per class or 110 total students.
The report continued that
by increasing to six classes,
the number of students in
classrooms would be upped
to about 132 total pupils. Low-
er grades average 25 students
times six classes or 150 pupils.
The middle school also has
a seven-hour day at present.
"Dollars are not there for
next year to continue the pre-
sent number of classes at the
high school level,” said Super-
intendent Kenneth Glazier,
who made the recommenda-
tion for the expanded class
period.
He said, "This was not an
easy decision for the board to
make."
He said the district expects
major cuts in state funding for
next school year. He added
that he encourages patrons in
the district to contact State
Rep. Denver Talley. D-
Chickasha, and State Sen.
