Th^y already know the many problems associated with the shopping cen ter, next to Baldwin S.H.S. That situation .recently resulted in police arresting students for loit ering because the problems in the many local people, particularly - area and the. alleged drug and those with a special interest in th e ' .ftidphot - related activities had historical value of the attraction. The concerns, these historians ' expi^sed focused on the carousel itself and the desire toehsuie tl^ l whatever happened to the prop erty, the carousel should remain intact. With prices for antiques 'at . become so severe. Residents do not waiit any development which would encourage such a com mercial use. -Finally, they look around them and think of the many previous zoning battles they have had .to such peaks, there was concern; fighl.fnd which, in retrospect. 6y Joan Delaney . The Baldwin Board of Educa tion met last week for its third and final public discussion of the school district's policies. This review has taken place spoiadi- cally over the past fourteen years under two superintendents - Dr. Frederick Shore and Dr. Roiland Jones - and will be votM on and approved under the tenute of Superintendent-elect Gene Lan- zaro on August 10. The policy book is an attempt to specify and codify the policies under which the school district functions. Along with the policies are administrative procedures. Each of the policies' reflects both the operation of the school district as well as the concerns and priorities of current and past board members. Some of the pol icies arose as the result of prob lems that had occured; others express more of a philosophical approach to education, functioning of the Board of Edu cation , had been considered. These policies regarding students reflect changes that have occured both legally and educationally. Several applied to special educa tion students and reflect the increasing legal requirements of school districts in this area. Other discussion centered on- words ' which show changes in society. The more formal “parent/guard- ian\ rather than the more infor mal word “family\ was substi tuted in many instances when referring to certain respon sibilities. The June 22 meeting concen- . trated on those policies relating to students and instruction. Pre viously, policies on administra tion and personnel as well as the The policy book also contains regulations regarding several areas which had been reviewed an d . changed with jnput from large-scale committees.

However, local peopl^ among them this repoher, have more ptactibil concerns.
