School Restricts High School Drivers
At the Feb. 14 GCISD board meeting (Doug Schaefer absent), Secondary School Principal John Petree reported that he has restricted high school students’ driving during school hours for one month due to “spiraling discipline problems.” Beginning Feb. 15, students will be allowed to drive to school, but their vehicles must remain parked until 4 p.m. They will be allowed to walk off campus, if not tardy on their return, and will walk, not drive, to the school’s “complex” building.
The board extended the contracts of Counselor Jan Holland, Petree and Elementary School Principal Ken Hoskins for one year and added $1,000 to each of their salaries.
Petree reported that both the high school and the junior high school won their divisions at the Texas Math and Science Coaches Association meet held Feb. 12 in Garden City.
Enrollment in PK – 6 was 152, down six since last month; in grades 7 – 12, enrollment is 144, down one.
