"We can't get a single person to solve all problems," said Joy Simpson, president of the Arlington PTA Council.

"But we need someone who can respect others in the commu amazed by the strengths and the ideas people have in this community." Visibility goes hand in hand with communication, and many of those who have spoken with the consultants have stressed that the new superintendent should be a people person. "(We need) an individual who is as comfortable in each of the school buildings as he is at central office," school board member Donald Lear said. "In my business, I don't make any money staying in the office. I think he has to be visible in the buildings and the community." School board member James Loveday added: "You don't need an administrator who's just good at setting up a budget." Another outgrowth of the overcrowding question is that school board members and district administrators are calling for a superintendent who can cope with planning issues. "I think it's going to be one of the biggest responsibilities facing a new superintendent," Titusville principal Anthony Celenza said.

"Whoever comes in is going to be challenged." District parents brought up both curriculum issues and class sizes as important priorities that should be tackled by the new superintendent Carol Hegener of the group Concerned Arlington Parents (CAP told the consultants that students in the same grade should be studying comparable programs, no matter what school they are attending. "When you go from one building to the next, you might as well move out of state," she said. CAP co chairwoman Barbara In agaki said class size guidelines should be reduced. "I do not believe a child can receive an adequate education when there's 29 to 30 in a class at the fourth grade level," she said. Johnson said the consultants may end up with many as 90 applications to weed through by the Oct.

20 deadline. They expect to recommend five to seven candidates for lengthy screenings by the board, he said. At this point in the process, both district employees and residents concede they are looking for an ideal person. And that could be a danger, warned Overlook Elementary School principal William Morrison. "I think in our minds we begin to construct a picture of a type of person," Morrison said.

"I hope we don't become so idealistic that we miss the right man or woman."

Kim detailed class schedules, vacations, and class trips. Jody wanted to know if World War III had happened yet or if scientists had found a cure for "the common cold, puberty or old age." In 1969, the middle school got off to a bad start, partly because parents had no say in the decision to group grades 5 8 (now it's 6 8).

Parents perceived the school as lacking discipline. Officials have said part of the reason for the turn around in attitude was that Fred Hanlon became principal and Hanlon was on hand at Friday's festivities. "As you've heard me say many times before, Poughkeepsie Middle School is the best kept secret in Dutchess County," Hanlon said, smiling.

"It's the beginning of the discrediting of the students and the whitewashing of the seriousness of the event," Anthony Winn, one of the students who was arrested, said at a press conference. On July 29, the students were arrested after they refused to hand over a radio to campus police inside a dining hall. The students have alleged that campus police and Town of New Paltz police brutalized them because they were black.

The 31 page report, which was prepared for President Alice Chandler by a committee of four State University of New York officials, was released Wednesday. It separately summarizes police, student and witness accounts of the arrest and offers a three page "factual summary" of the incident. The committee found that it was "not clear undue force was applied" by the officers. Karen Summerlin, a spokeswoman for the college, denied SUNY was whitewashing the incident. "All I really can say is that what they have written is the reports as they heard them told by the various people," she said.

"They based the contents of the reports on the information they acquired from the various people they spoke to." The report also says the officers did not follow the college's emergency arrest procedures, but did follow procedures consistent with handling noise violations. The officers were not aware the emergency arrest procedures existed, the report says. Russell Schindler, an attorney who advises the student association, criticized the committee for not specifying which emergency procedures officers did not follow. "Knowledge of the (procedures) would have reduced tension during the incident and prevented the eventual brutality of the students," Schindler said. Jason Black, president of the student association, criticized the report for its "tenor." He pointed out that the report refers to billy clubs as batons and chokebolds as head locks.

The students claim officers beat some students with clubs and nearly choked them to death. "A baton is something used by a cheerleader," he said. The black students were charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration. The white student faces the latter charge. They are due in New Paltz Court Oct 16.
