Spec Ed Curriculum The board approved, on Shi- led's recommendation, a section in next year's student handbook dealing with the Special Education Program curriculum. The Special Education Program is designed for a variety of students who, for emotional, physical, or mental handicap reasons, can't take part in the regular classes of the high school. "In the past," Shields told the board, "we haven't had a program in writing so that a parent or student in the pro gram could tell just how much more he has to do before, he can graduate.

Including the curriculum in the handbook will alleviate this." The program is designed so a student can graduate with a high school diploma after five years. An extra year is needed, Shields said, as course content is more limited than in other classes. Some students, he added, do finish in four years though. Liability Insurance The board approved including a rider clause to the district's insurance coverage extending liability coverage to the school's employees in court cases involving charges against employees or board members of false arrest, libel, slander, invasion in violation of the right of privacy, and wrongful entry or eviction. The added coverage, to cost $293 annually, will be tacked onto a school policy with the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Insurance Co.

through the Bob Ward Insurance Agency. The board, in other action: Shields to begin looking for a scoreboard for the new football field. the same calendar for next year as previously approved by the grade schools board of education.

This will be the third year the levy has been issued.

Shields said he thought all work necessary to bring the school into compliance could be completed with a final levy of three cents during the following fiscal year. 1 happened Mt.
