Over the past 15-20 years, more than 80 percent of Virginia's lab schools have been closed due to insufficient funding. Six months ago SCHEV or- dered a study of the remaining schools at JMU, Longwood College in Farmville and Virginia State College in Petersburg. "The state decided that campus schools should no longer receive priority in funding," said Dr Julius Roberson, dean of the School of Education at JMU. According to Roberson, it will cost JMU an additional $125,000 to operate its education program without the $240,000 in state funds it now receives for Anthony Seeger. The cutback will necessitate a major overhaul in the way the education program is operated, he said. SCHEV VOTED that state funding should cease after the 1981-82 school year. However, Roberson said the JMU Board of Visitors will consider drafting a resolution at its October meeting to request a SCHEV reversal of its decision. "The resolution will be the basis on which President Carrier will make his appeal in December," Roberson noted. The state believes that campus schools no longer are necessary for teacher preparatory programs because of the many public schools in operation, he said. "Wearen't in agreement," Roberson explained. "It will cause us many hardships. We have the largest teacher preparation program in Virginia, and we prepare more new teachers than any other institution in the state." Presently, local schools have as many student teachers as they can accomodate, according to Faiio Roberson. "They can't take any more." Photo by CharlM A.
