Nome School Board Accepts June
1 i
Resignation of Supt. Wm. Angell
Mr. William Angell, Superinten
dent of Nome School submited
his letter of resignation, to become
effective at the close of the school
year in June. Mr. Angell t^as in
dicated a desire to have a smaller
school in the territory. The School
Board moved to accept Mr. An
gell’s resignation at the regular
meeting of the Nome School
Board, held Tuesday evening, in
the Superintendent’s office.
Members present at the meeting
were George Bayer, president;
Dorothy Grant, Roy Snyder and
Neil Foster.
Mr. Angell reported that the
school is functioning smoothly ;
and January 9 marked the end
of the first semester. Tardiness
continues to be a problem, par*'
ticularly in the High School. j
The hot lunch program is oper
ating, under the supervision of!
Mrs. Beverly Bixby, the first
•grade teachers, and Mrs. Ann Gil- j
lis. All members of the faculty ,
share in the program throughout'
the period of the hot lunch pro
gram.
He reported the Girl Scouts have
requested permission to use the
Multipurpose Room for a dance
in February. Permission was
granted at the board meeting.
Mr. Snyder reported that work
had been done on the school’s con
densate pumps, and cement work
his -been completed in the boiler
room. He called the board’s at
tention to the need for fire alarms
in the boiler room, and also the
need for continuing service and |
maintenance work on the heating |
and electrical systems.
Mr. Angell was asked to secure i
information about the purchase of
daylight screens for use in the vis- i
ual aids program. It was felt that!
the use of such screens would
make it possible for teachers to
■ use these aids within their own i
classrooms, and would make their i
| use more effective.
At present it is necessary for j
classes to move to the multi-pur- j
pose room and this has caused j
I some disruption in the school pro- j
! gram. Portable screens would eli-1
minate this moving about.
Mrs. Grant made two recom-,
mendations:
1. The Board should make every
effort to secure a remedial teach-!
| er to help with language and read- j
| ing problems.
2. The Board should make a,
; definite effort to report school
I board activities to the community,
i In addition to current bills in
j December, the Nome School Board
signed a gross payroll for Nome
Public School of $21,359.87 for
the month.
The Nome School Board invites 1
residents to attend its regular
meetings, stated spokesmen of the ^
j board, and meetings are held on j
: the second Tuesday of each month,1
at 8 p.m. at the school. Members!
further stated to the local resi- j
dents that “School business is |
; YOUR business.” Special hearings ,
should be arranged by contacting j
the president of the board.
