New Court Sets Holidays,
Tends To Initial Business
MERIDIAN — The Meridian In-
dependent School District Board of
Trustees has extended the employ-
ment contract of Superintendent of
Schools Johnnie Hauerland for two
years. Board members approved the
extension at their monthly meeting
Jan. 8, following an executive session
during which the superintendent’s
performance was evaluated.
This is Supt. Hauerland’s first year
in the Meridian ISD. He succeeded
Harold McCreary, who had served the
district as superintendent for several
years.
Progress is being made on prepar-
ing the baseball field for spring play,
Supt. Hauerland advised the trustees.
Although weather conditions have
caused some delay, all should be in
readiness when baseball is added as
an extracurricular student activity
later in the current academic year.
The remodeling of the office of
Meridian High School Principal
Brooks Symank has been completed,
Supt. Hauerland informed board
members. The changes have provid-
ed additional space in the office.
Repairs have been made to a frozen
pipe in the science laboratory on the
north side of the junior high school.
No damage resulted to property from
the weather-induced condition, Supt.
Hauerland noted.
All Meridian ISD students will be
dismissed from classes at 1:30 p.m.
Thursday, Jan. 24, so that an in-
service training workshop may be
held for faculty members. Federal
policies require that teachers be
trained to incorporate in curriculums
information on a drug-free, smoke-
free work environment. The policy
will be put into effect in the Meridi-
an ISD in the 1991-92 academic year.
Board members agreed to pay a
$500 stipend to a faculty member who
will agree to sponsor and coach a six-
member high school student team in
an academic decathalon contest. A
winning team could advance to
regional, state, and national compe-
tition.
The next meeting of the Meridian
ISD Board of Trustees is scheduled for
7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12, in the
Meridian High School library.

ties, and the reappointment of 36
