Mr. Partridge testified regardhis situation and requested he be ing reinstated as a social studies teacher in the District. He and his family were excused from the executive session, and the Board continued its deliberation. The motion was later made to terminate Mr. Partridge. The Board determined that within the next year, dating to August 5, 1989, Mr. Partridge can receix e consideration of appointment for any position he is qualified for, and can continue to serve as football coach at NSHS, as he does have the proper for credential and certification coaching. The Board then considered other business. Cynthia Shumway, was approved as a Chapter I teacher at Salina Elementary School. Sixteen requests for Home Schooling were approved.

Back in 1955 fifty percent of all families consisted of a father, working mother, and twochildren. Now there are only 6 of American homes w ith the same structure. of all By 1995 three-fourtschool age children will have mothers in the work force. Most of those mothers will work full time. Even when their youngest child is under age three, about 23 of employed mothers are full time workers. Many of the children of work me ing mothers dont have anyone to care for them after school hours until a parent returns home from work. A 1987 Harris poll found that 12 percent of elementary students, and 30 percent of junior high students are left alone almost every day from the end of school to about 5:30 p.m. when a parent returns home from work. Parents and teachers both agreed that leaving children alone too much after school was the number one cause of problems in school.
