who are alienated from regular, secondaryprograms," said Wilbur J. Kistler Jr., vo-

tech superintendent.

The adult high school was proposed by the academic components subcommittee o' the Vocational Training Alternatives Committee appointed by Kistler last

December.

At that time, a full-time academic and vocational program appeared to be the favored solution to two problems: increas >oc numbers of students having difficulty with tougher high school graduation re- - ouiremente, and decreasing vo-tech

enrollment.

The adult high school. Kistler said, would probably have day classes, could J'tart by the 1985-86 school year and would require the hiring of some teachers of academic courses. Kistlec said he didn't know how many. but. he added, "minimal support personnel " would be needed "It's going to cost money." he agreed - Approval would be needed from the state ;.nd from county freeholders since the < ounty pays about 65 percent of the vo-tech

Sudget.

“My only disappointment.” Kistler sail “is that the kid has to fail for us to tak care oMiim." He referred to the age ] minimum for students which presumabl would limit enrollment to dropouts. 'KisUer^Marned that cqunty students wi Jiave^iffficulty with new high scho. diploma teste antT~ charged that stal Education Commissioner Saul Cooperma is "insensitive io -the needs of th

nonacademic student."

The academic components subcommi tee alsp proposed that vo-tech be permi ted to grant science and math credits i addition to vocational program credits. Kistler said this would be for student who "can’t afford a half-day‘at vo-tech because they have to make up a academic course in their home school. The idea of having a full-tim vocational-academic program at vo-tec apparently was scuttled by a number c potential problems: added cost, stat Department of Education requirement* school districts reluctance to lose enrol; ment. and.the issue of how to offer student cocurricular activities such as athletics

band, etc.
