Mr Kenwell explained that he had Mr culated a questionnaire among all elementary school principal. on the subject Of special edoc•tion. The questionnaire n., aimed at ocertaining the number of children who were receiving some type of epecial education and their grade placement, defining whet type of special education should be expanded for the coming rah.) year 004what tyi,e should be intreduced The results of the questionnaire, taken during the months of October and November, showed that during that time .4301 students had taken sorne time of special education classes The students were from primary. junior and in. termediate 'levels, the tnirtority coming from the primary ciasses The requests for ex pans1011 included more in school tune for learning disability teachers and remedial teachers. opportunity class time expanded From half time to full tone dmly as well as additional opportunity classes and increased school time for a speech correction teocher The requesty for introduCti. of special education assistance involved the establishment of senior special education classes the employment of a promory reading specialist. the em ployment of a teacher for the gifted. counselling for students. with emotional problems and the establish ment of a Mom for the emotionally disturbed Mr Kenwell deatalled the costs of the implementation of the requests The costa were based On the four months remaining in the 1977 school year The hiring of two additional learning disability ten...raw. the employment of a primary reading specialist would cast about 821,000 The establishment of three senior special education classomms, proposed for Clinton.

On that premise the committee elected to hire the speech correction teacher and a part time learning disability tenchcr and provide apecial educatio stair with their required classroom apace. The ern. ployment of lam full time teachers for learning diaability and the primary reading specialist was ruled out completely and the possibility of establishing three 509tor special education classes was tabled until the budget woe drawn up to see a funds were a vailable. Mr Kenwell explained to the cpmmittee that the special education classes were aimed at youngsters too young for secondary school and too old for elementary. He said the etadents were usualiy 12 to 11 years 01age and were e.sIdered to be one step Mead of die trainable retarded with regard ti learning skill., He said the studente nmy have a reading ability on a Grade One level which was not an indication of their abilities but merely pointed out the need for special education. He added there were .0101 24 children In this category. Clarence McDonald of Exeter said he didn't mean to Ole cold hearted but asked Lf perhaps that wasn't • lot of money for the board to spend such a few children, lie euggested perhaps tlut the children would have to remain In the eystem under 000 9905401 operation.
