CAMPUS PROBLEMS OUTLINED BY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS (Continued from Dare 1) special problems at East campus as 500 to 1600 new students each year; the fact that students are retained three and four years if they have insufficient number of credits earned; 17-18-19 year old students on a freshman- sophomore campus; and students with no interest. Seaton added that the school also is under-staffed. Browdy concentrated on the program iri progress at West Campus to assist students who have failed two or more academic subjects the preceding grading period. It is a combined effort in­ volving teachers, ad­ ministrators and students working toward the same goal. Students participating have many independent study areas from which to choose in order to improve their grades and hopefully complete a high school education. The administrator displayed sample copies of letters sent to parents whose children were cutting classes. These state that a student may choose to cut two classes without office disciplinary action. A total of four results in a school suspension with re-admittance pending a parent conference. Action is in line with a policy of the administration that students be allowed to make certain decisions within the guidelines of the school setting. Browdy said 47 per cent cut no classes, and 52 per cent cut one or more.
