III - Report on the Junior High School Survey Mr. George Edberg �appeared before the Board to summarize the .action which has been taken as a result of the recommendations of the Bureau of Field Studies in its report on the junior high school survey at Como Park Junior High. � Mr. Edberg�gave a resume of hbw these recommendations had been implemented into the junior high program. This included orientation of teachers and students of feeder elementary schools to the junior high program, an examination of the achieve- ment scores which were reported to be above the national average, the introduction of foreign languages at the ninth grade level, and better accessibility to libraries for students and efforts to make the library available to them �or research work outside the school day. Mr. Edberg explained that one counselor is assigned to each junior high. However, core teachers are responsible for the ma�or guidance counseling service. He also mentioned that the survey which had been started �t Marshall Junior High would be temporarily delayed until the new principal there had an opportunity to orient himself to his duties. Mr. Edberg reviewed various aspects of the junior high program which had been crit3cized by some members of the staff and public. In regard to the activities period, he explained that if the Board is not in agreement that this is a worth� while educational period, it would be necessary to recommend to the State Board of Education that it be eliminated. This policy is governed by the State Board and it is the State Board's prerogative to modify or eliminate this phase of ,junior high education. Mr. Edberg said that in regard to teachers who are teaching out of tYleir field, this came about as a result of the expansion of the ,junior high p�ogram in St. Paul and because �eachers have not been available in all fields. While this i°s recognized as an undesirable condition, he said he is not aware of serious criti- cism. The turnover among core teachers is very slight. He indic�.ted that teachers who enter the junior highs are aware of the programs before they are hired and an effort has been made to reassign those who are dissatisfied with the program. / Over / ��.:Q� �� ,�'���.3e'As�! �' � � Board of Education Meeting - 3/3/64 - P. 3 B - Communications - Cont'd for Highland Park Senior High were being drawn.
