1 ■ ROWN PRINTING CO. MONTGOMER/. UNIVERSITY Or ’iSSSfe** BOOKSTACKo 373.7 bt 4ku, RULES AND REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY THE HIGH SCHOOL COMMISSION FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOLS OF ALABAMA 1. Principal and Teachers, Selection of. — The county high school teach- ers, including the principal, shall be elected by the High School Commission and their salaries shall be fixed by the Commission. The county board of education shall have the right to nominate the principal of the county high school and the principal of the county high school shall have the right to nominate the teachers for said school. The county board of education shall recommend the salaries to be paid the teachers, including the principal, but if the nominations and recommendations so made do not meet the approval of the High School Commission, said Commission may act independently of such nominations and recommendations, either or both. 2. Faculty, Eligibility to Election. — The faculty of the county high school shall consist of a principal and two or more assistants. No assistant in any county high school shall be elected principal of the school in which he may have taught for any time during the twelve months immediately preceding the date of his election, and no person living in a town or community in which a county high school is located shall be eligible for election to a posi- tion as assistant in that particular high school. The High School Commission believes in the thorough training of teach- ers. In accordance with this belief, it favors the selection of teachers who have taken college training in addition to that received in normal schools. However, until the supply of those combining both normal and higher train- ing is sufficient to meet the demand, graduates of Class A normal schools under the recently revised course of study may be elected to the position of assistant, provided they have shown special ability and aptitude as teachers. 3. Principal, Term, and Duties; Bond. — The principal shall be employed for twelve calendar months beginning July 1st and ending June 30th of the following year. He shall be paid by the calendar month and shall furnish a bond of $500.00 in a reputable bonding company within thirty days from the date of his election. Said boijd must be approved by and filed in the office of the judge of probate of the county in which the high school is located, and a certified copy of said bond must be filed in the office of the superintendent of education at Montgomery (the expense of this bond to be a charge to the county high school). He shall give his entire time to the management and control of the school and its activities. The teachers shall be employed for a term of nine calendar months, unless stipulated to the contrary in the minutes of the election by the High School Commission. 4. Financial Obligations. — The principal of each school shall keep a proper account of all financial obligations of the school, listing each individ- ual or firm together with the amount due at the time the obligation is in- curred, in such a way as to show at any time the actual and total outstand- ing indebtedness of the school. Any account not so included in the schedule of indebtedness shall be a charge not to the school but to the principal, who shall be liable on his official bond therefor. 5. Matriculation, — The principal shall keep a matriculation book, adopt- ed by the High School Commission, in which shall be placed the full name, home address, and age of each pupil, and the name and address of the parent, with other desired information. No pupil shall be matriculated until p 43023 4 he presents a receipt signed by the high school treasurer showing that the incidental and special fees for the term have been paid. 6. Records of Pupils. — Every teacher shall keep a class register and the principal and teachers shall keep a complete record of the work of each pupil on special forms prepared for this purpose by the State Department of Education. 7. Reports. — It shall be the duty of the principal at the close of each scholastic month and on June 30th of each year to make reports on blanks furnished by the Department of Education for that purpose. These reports shall be made in duplicate, one copy being sent to the county superintendent and the other to the State Department of Education. 8. Course of Study to be Followed. — It shall be the duty of the principal and assistants in each county high school to follow faithfully the course of study prescribed by the Superintendent of Education. This course of study shall be for four years and shall be based on seven elementary grades or years. 9. Seventh Grade. — If the county board of education deems it expedient to allow the seventh grade to be taught in the county high school building as preparatory to the regular high school course as outlined by the High School Commission, this will be permitted, provided all teachers of this grade are elected and their salaries fixed in the same manner as the county high school teachers, and the necessary funds to maintain the grade are appropriated by the county board of education or other local authorities. The teachers and pupils of this grade shall be under the direct supervision of the principal and governed in accordance with the rules and regulations made by the High School Commission. 10. Length of Session. — The session of the county high schools shall be nine scholzstic months (thirty-six weeks) of actual teaching.

Entrance Requirements. — Applicants for admission to a county high school must present an elementary seventh grade certificate or pass a writ- ten examination on the elementary school subjects with a grade of not less than 60% on any subject. These papers must be filed for at least six months in the office of the principal of the county high school. 12. Summer Activities of Principal. — It is the sense of the High School Commission that the principal of a county high school should use the vaca- tion period in bringing to the attention of the boys and girls throughout the county the advantages to be obtained by attending the high school, in pursuing professional study at some institution of higher learning, or in performing any other school work that may be assigned by the High School Commission. No principal shall engage in any other form of lucrative employment or absent himself from the school either in term time or vacation for a longer period than two weeks without the consent of the High School Commission. 13. Fees. — Every pupil in the county high school must present to the principal his receipt at the beginning of each term of the session, showing that an incidental fee of $2.50 and all required special fees have been paid to the local treasurer of the high school. A pupil living in one county may attend school in another without additional charge. 1.

He shall be elected for a term of three years and shall be required to make a bond of three thousand dollars in a reputable surety company. The bond must be ap- proved by and filed in the office of the judge of probate of the county in which the high school is located, and a certified copy of said bond must be 5 filed in the office of the Department of Education at Montgomery. The treasurer shall keep in a well bound book accurate accounts of all of his transactions and shall make such reports as may be required of him by the High School Commission. He shall keep an accurate account of receipts and disbursements of all moneys, stating from what source they came and how they were disbursed, giving receipts and taking proper vouchers. The treasurer shall be paid no salary for his services, but the premium on the surety bond required of him and any incidental expenses connected with his official duties must be paid out of any funds belonging to the high school. Accounts covering such items shall be furnished the county high school principal in accordance with Rule 15 and shall be paid in the regular way. 15.

The school principal shall make the monthly pay roll in duplicate fixing the proper affidavit on the back of each pay roll before delivering it to the county high school treasurer. The county high school treasurer must pay every item with a bank check and place the proper check number in the “Check Number” column of both pay rolls furnished him each month by the principal. He must make a gen- eral report of his receipts and disbursements on the blank form at the bot- tom of each monthly pay roll and after properly making the affidavit at the bottom of the pay roll sheet, he must forward one of the pay rolls to the State Superintendent of Education at Montgomery so that it will reach the office within ten days after the pay roll is submitted to the treasurer by the principal. The other pay roll shall be kept on file in the office of the treas- urer and in it shall be placed the canceled checks paying the various items when these checks are returned to the treasurer. 16. Treasurer, Report of. — The treasurer must make an annual financial report in duplicate on or before July 30th for the year ending June 30th immediately preceding.

The requisition for this appropriation shall be made by the high school treasurer and sent to the State superintendent in ample time for it to reach him each quarter be- fore the dates mentioned. It shall be the duty of the State Superintendent to receipt the State auditor for the warrant and to transmit it to the county high school treasurer. 13. Examinations. — Examinations must be held at the close of each term of four and one-half months, and at the close of the session a report shall be issued by the principal to each pupil stating the grade such pupil has made during that year. This report, if satisfactory, shall entitle the pupil to pro- motion. Written tests shall be held monthly in each subject to determine the standing of pupils. 19. Promotions, Grades. — Advancement shall be by subjects and, in order to pass a satisfactory examination in any branch, the pupil shall make on each branch, during the first year, an average of not less than 65%, and an average of not less than 70% during each succeeding year. The grade in any subject for each term shall be found by dividing the sum of the four monthly grades and the term examination grade by five. All examination 6 papers shall be held for reference until the time of the next succeeding term examination. 20. Faculty Meetings and Professional Ctudy. — Faculty meetings shall be held twice each month of the scholastic year, at which meetings the teachers shall consider such matters as may tend to promote the progress of the students and the welfare of the school, including the methods of teaching the various subjects of instruction. Some professional book pre- scribed by the State Superintendent of Education shall also be studied uni- formly by the faculties of the several county high schools and a portion of the regular teachers’ meeting period shall be given to the discussion of top- ics taken from this book. 21. Inspectors. — The High School Commission shall appoint inspectors who shall visit the various county high schools of the State and after care- fully inspecting them shall make a written report to the Superintendent of Education. 22. Rules of Discipline. — The principal of each county high school is hereby authorized to make such hrules and regulations as may be necessary to successfully control and discipline the school, provided such rules and reg- ulations shall in no way conflict with the rules and regulations made by the High School Commission. 23. Insurance of Building. — It shall be the duty of the county high school treasurer to see that the county high school property is properly insured at all times. The building and equipment must be insured for their full value, and the premiums to cover the insurance should be paid in the regular way on a monthly pay roll out of any county high school funds. The insurance policies shall be made payable to the High School Commission of Alabama and the county high school treasurer shall be the custodian of the policies. 24. Diplomas. — Diplomas shall be issued to all pupils who complete, in a satisfactory manner, the prescribed course of study for the county high schools. The diplomas must be purchased from Marshall & Bruce Company, of Nashville, Tennessee, as a contract has been made with this company by the High School Commission to furnish them at special prices. All diplomas must be signed by the State Superintendent of Education, the county super- , intendent and the principal of the county high school. 25. Credit Values. — Standard colleges require from 14 to 16 Carnegie units for admission without examination to the freshman class. A unit means the satisfactory completion of a subject pursued during a period of 36 weeks, with five weekly recitations, each recitation embracing from 40 to 60 minutes. Two hours in laboratory, field work, manual training, or home economics are equivalent to one hour in recitation. 26. County Control. — In order to stimulate local pride and interest in the county high school and to guarantee its adequate support in order to take advantage of the opportunity to introduce courses in vocational agriculture, home economics, and trades and industries with Federal aid, under the terms of the Smith-Hughes Act, Be it resolved by the High School Commission of Alabama, That it is the policy of said Commission to intrust the management and control of the high school to the county board of education, provided the appropriations to the school from county or local sources are at least equal to the annual State appropriation to each school, subject to the limitations set out in the law for the government and control of county high schools. — High School Commis- sion, May 30, 1918.
