said an
"a home lor
if
autoplex
schedule, McCuller said.
Students in the occupational
therapy and music therapy
program at Texas Woman’s
University will help provide
activities, she said.
Although she said she
has no formal training in
care of the elderly. McCuller
said the idea originated
when her fahter died and her
mother looked for an
apartment for senior
citizens only, ’where there
were no screaming kids
hanging around because they
gave her headaches."
There is an elderhome in
Denton, and McCuller said
she visited it, along with a
very good one in Georgia.
Only four people have
been accepted into the
elderhome so far, so
applications are still being
accepted from interested
people. Anyone wanting
more information may call
McCuller at the telephone
number listed above.
"We will have activities
planned so they can stay real
active. There wont be
anyone sitting around
getting old. We just want to
keep them as busy and as
happy and healthy as they
can be for as long as we can,"
McCuller said
Based on visits to hundreds of school systems.
Hernandez said her visit showed a "very positive, warm and
very nurturing climate, and that s not accidental. .. It takes
more planning to accomplish that feeling of comfort, that
feeling of risk-taking by teachers."
In an interview after Hernandez’s visit. Coulston said
her announcement caught him by surprise because he had
not had a chance to meet with her privately all day. "But it
doesn't surprise me in the comments she was making about
the school district." he added.
Sanger's biggest asset as for innovative teaching, he
said, is the district's "delivery system." or the way schools
and teachers involve students in their education.
When planning the agenda for Hernandez's visit, school
officials wanted to make sure that she saw the school
district from the students' viewpoint
"We saw to it that every campus she went to she was
exposed to kids." Coulston said, noting that during lunch
she sat with high school students who could talk to her
about anything they thought was important
In addition, during her visit to Sanger Intermediate
School, she answered questions at a news conference for
fourth and fifth graders. They asked her about Ann
Richards, what she was really hke. and about Year-Round
Education, many things that are important issues."
Coulston said.
In looking for a school to adopt, the state looks for
schools with adminstrators and teachers who are willing to
share what they are doing with other schools. Coulston said.
In a review to the teachers about changes being made on
the state level. Hernandez said that state is restructuring
teachers' salaries and the career ladder, but she said other
matters are equally important
"Salary is important, but treating teachers as
professionals and making sure they are involved in the
decision-making is also important.
She said a recently-formed Committee on Student
Learning will look at setting new standards on what
students should know, but annual testing will not be
involved. 'Die committee has suggested that students be
tested after the fourth-, eighth and 12th grades.
The curriculum will be up to you to decide. We hope to be
ready by '93 for implementation of new standards," she
added.

they don’t have just one
option when considering
care of their aging parents.
The home has been
renovated and has room for
nine people in seven
bedrooms. Couples will be
welcome, as well as friends
or siblings who might want
to share a large bedroom.
McCuller said she looked
al places in Denton before
opening her ciderhome, but
decided on Sanger because
city officials were much
more receptive to the new
living arrangement.
"Sanger was very
receptive to the idea. When
we went to City Hall and
started asking questions.
(City Manager) John
Hamilton and his staff were
very cooperative." she said.
The goal of an elderhome
is to provide a comfortable,
family atmosphere, she said.
"We don’t want it to be like an
institution, we don't want it
to be like a nursing home,"
she said
People who live at the
elderhome must be self-
sufficient. and the home will
provide all meals, along with
activities. They will not
administer medicine, but
staff members will have a
chart to help residents keep
track of their medicine
A seminar for adult
children of aging parents
