(From Page 1) been said teachers are declining coaching jobs because they can make more money taking other after-school jobs. According to superintendent Keller, ‘‘Coaches are terribly underpaid for what they do." William Garrisoh, who coaches football and wrestling, chlled the policy an "attack" on athletics. During the heated discourse, the co^ch emphasized the importance of athletic discipline in the school, where he said 95 per cent of the students have tried drugs and alcohol. “Athletics help control things," he Asserted, noting he objected to the administration — alluding to Keller in par** ticular — always putting down athletics. Garrison — who on a number of occasion has acknowledged there are bad feelings between himself and the superintendent — admitted his statement that 95 per cent of regional students drink was exaggerated and was made during an emotionally charged meeting. "ATHLETICS IS ONE discipline we have in our society," he said. "If we don't have something for our kids to do, they're going t6 get in trouble." Keller acknowledged that In the future there is going to be a problem in getting coaches. The district already has one teacher from the Lower Township Elementary district coaching a high school sport. "there’s no doubt that the Athletic Dept, is going to be hard put coming up with coaches," he said. The move to scrap the proposed policy and come up with a viable solution was suported by board president Paul Li dholm and member Freeman Douglass. Lundholm didn’t feel the policy was feasible, noting that some 35 coaching positions — not including any new sports programs that may be added — have to be filled each year. DOUGLAS AGREED. "COACHES are getting more and more harder to get," he said. "These are not two different schools,” he added, arguing that because qualified coaches are available within the school district, they should be used. Teitelman principal Jeanette Babbitt voiced the opinion that perhaps viable alternatives should be reviewed. “I’m not against athletics,” she said, but added, ‘‘My concern as an educator is in the academic impact on the kids." The administrator acknowledged that the time her students are losing in -class due to teachers coaching at the high school has decreased since two of the teachers involved were recently transferred to the

high school — one of the possible alternatives to solving the problem. But while the high school athletic director said "we’d like to get all our coaches here,” at least one Teitelman coach spoke out against requiring junior high teachers Interested in coaching to accept teaching positions in the high school. SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER Bill Porter — assistant football coach at the high school and wrestling coach at Teitelman — said. “I think you'll lose the finest teachers around if you try to transfer them. You’ll have a less effective staff by transferring back and forth.” According to teacher Porter, "Anybody that's been involved in education knows that it's a completely different ballgaihe (teaching junior high then high school students.)" One of the other alternatives being considered — although it wouldn't go into effect during the remainder of the current school year — is readjusting the starting times for the two schools. This may become necessary in the future anyway if the Regional district and the Lower Township Elementary school'district regionalize their transportation systems. Such a move would make it possible for the Teitelman day to end before coaches would have to be dismissed, and junior high students who remain at Teitelman to participate in their school's strong program of extra-curricular activities would still be able to get home before dark. UNDER THIS PROPOSAL, the junior high school night begin its day at 7:45 a.m. instead of 8:30 a.m. and the high school might begin at 8:15 a.m. rather than 8. Principal Babbitt supported the idea of an earlier starting hour and believes teachers In her building would not object. She also noted that the students shouldn't have^ problems with an earlier starting hour because they have no problem arriving early when there’s a special field trip. According to superintendent Keller, the meeting concerning athletic policy was important to "get it out on the table that some kids are getting fewer minutes of education because of coaching." MRS. BABBITT ECHOED the superintendent remarks, commenting the next day expressed so that possible alteratives can now be considered. "I think that the standards set for athletes'are good," she said, pointing to the need for everyone — no matter what his or her view on the issue — to -work together to find a viable solution to the problem. "I think it can be worked out so we can have the best of both worlds," she said.
