Pollution
Still An Issue
FREEPORT - While, several
village residents commented
favoably on the new Freeport
Police Boat, one man attending
the Monday night,. July 16th
public meeting of tiie village's
Board of Trustees coiaplained
about pollution of the waterways.
Commenting on a stoty appear­ing
in that day's Daily News,
Edward Acbner of Guy Lombardo
Avenue caBed it. unfivoiable
publicity .about the "Boating
and Fishing Capital of the
East>"
The Daily News columnist
wrote of. a party of Merrick resi­dents
who complained about tfieir
trip on a cliarter .iisMng boat,
refused to pay for the outing and,
when village police were, al­legedly
CXH^, were lefused helpT
. (EDrrOR'S NOTE:. . Inder
-peiujeot acoron in the area,
however, faave.totd LEADER r^-
an
analysis and interpretation' of
standardized test results; the im­plementation
of the newly adopt:
ed K-3 reading program with
plans for extension into grades
4-6 in 1985-86; a review of the
structure of the Program for the
Academically Gifted" (PAG Pro­gram);
and an evaluation of the
content, scope and effectiveness
of the K-12 reading program.
However, Board member Lor­raine
Deller suggested-that the
objectives should also include the
continuation of Baldwin's efTorta
to attain a fairer share of Stale
funding of education.
:Pittinsky then suggested tliat
the study and -evaluau'on of the
matliematics program be in­cluded.
Ruinsky noted tliat in his
opinion, "that'a my single high­est
priority." When qacslioned
by Board memljer Ira Matelsky
on the .rationale for his. concern
and whether he was basing it
simply on the Newsday ar2cte
which compared school districta,
Pittinsky noted, that thus far,
"Newtday is the only tangible
evidence;..and in plain EngHsh,
we stank." (Discussion of the
school district'* performance on
•<CWiL-<wrPafl«T6)-.-.-.*. .•.«>*«'4»^P«^ «<l!f .'ria take place
at the July 18 board of Educa­tion
meeting.)
Piltinsky suggested giving an
in-district sabbatical leave to a
high, school and elementary
teacher to form a team to evaluate
the math program. Jones indica­ted,
however, that he thought it
appropriate to include the study_
of the math program and recom­mendations
as a goal but sug­gested
that the Board await the
Administration's recommenda:
tions on how best to accomplish
it. ' .'>"
In other discussion, Matetsky
requested that the. by-laws be
- updaled-to reflecVcfianges-in-tlje-^
district and also asked lha( the
Board be kept current with the
progress of the on-going Middle
States Evaluation at the high
school. ...
Referring .to the senior .high
school and the problem with the
cbropateriied report card, Jones
noU^ that the problem included
".scanning" and "bubbling" in
the programming of the data.
. In oUier recommendations, it
was noted that January 15 will
be a staff development da^ on
huroan relations in compliance
with new Stale mandates. How­ever,
Matetsky pointed out a
problem that might occur depend­ing
on the offidal scheduling, of
the holiday for Martin Luther
King day. He suggested that two
holidays in Uro weeks might not'
be educationally advantageous.. .
There was discussion, on .the
cost of the senior liigli scfiooi
stage curtain which will be
. partially financed through stu­dent
fundraising, Fiuinsky and
Matelsky expressed concern witi)
student funding of items which
should be regarded as' either
maintenance or e^pment,
High School principal Peter Lyocfa
expressed, what he . descnbed
' were the tlMUghla of the sladenta
