Teacher Objections

The Board also approved a policy statement
concerning teachers, despite the objections of
an official of the Albemarle Education
Association. He said the organization should
have a chance to review it.

Under this policy teachers convicted of drug
charges will be relieved of his duties. Teachers
indicted will be suspended, but will be reinstated
with back pay if acquitted.

Mr. McClure said that his failure to consult
the Education Association was a oversight,
since "all of this is emergency legislation, so to
speak".
