(BLACK OUT FACES ONE BY ONE) WHO WILL FAIL TO SEE GRADUATION. NAT: LAST SCHOOL YEAR 555 KIDS IN KANAWHA COUNTY DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. NO OTHER COUNTY IN THE STATE HAD MORE. TEACHERS SAY IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE. NAT:16:41:16 is Leon here today. AT RIVESIDE HIGH CHANGES COME BVY WAY OF FORMER FOOTBALL COACH FRED MYERS. RIVERSIDE HOLDS THE HIGHEST DROPOUT RATE IN THE COUNTY SO COACH MYERS CHANGED HIS GAME. NAT: 16:38:20 I'm Coach Myers I'm the graduation coach. HIS PLAYERS...52 STUDENTS DEEMED AT RISK. NAT: 16:40: stay out of trouble HIS CHAMPIONSHIP GOAL...52 DIPLOMAS 17:16:07 half my friends quit school. PLAYERS LIKE JOSH WILLIAMS A 5TH YEAR SENIOR WHO STRUGGLES IN ENGLISH AND ALMOST GAVE UP. AND JAMA MARTIN WHO *DID QUIT AND RETURNED THIS YEAR AS A 5TH YEAR NOW LIVING ON HER OWN. 17:09:10 I quit school to tend to my home life. MYERS FACES ISSUES LIKE THIS EVERYDAY. SO HE HELPS IN ANY WAY HE CAN...AS A TEACHER, COUNSELOR, OR JUST A FRIEND. HE ROAMS THE HALLS MAKING SURE HIS *TEAM STAYS ON TRACK. IF HE CAN'T FIND THEM HERE, HE'LL FIND THEM AT HOME NAT: 17:08:40 ok I'll find her. HIS POSITION COACHES ARE FELLOW TEACHERS..THEY OFFER TUTORING...EXTRA PRACTICE FOR THE WEAKER SUBJECTS... 16:41:05 I don't have all the answers but I know the people that do so I put those people together. HOPING GOOD COACHING WILL LEAD TO A WIN. 16:43:51 I'd like to see them all graduate every kid, but that's not going to happen but if we get one more welder, or cop or teacher than we've done our job if we can get one more. 17:14:24 I know somebody really cares about me graduating. I didn't think anyone cared if I did or not. I like it. He's helped me out a lot. (end part one????) 16:47:35 I've got some that don't know where they're going to lay their head down. Some 16 and 17 year old and worried about feeding their kids. Making up Social Studies is the last thing on their mind. REAL-LIFE ADULT ISSUES OFTEN COME INTO PLAY WHEN *KIDS DROP OUT. BEHAVIORIAL PROBLEMS ALSO SEEM LIKE A COMMON THREAD AS WELL AS KIDS WHO CAN'T MAKE THE GRADE. DEBORAH STANLEY IS A COUNSELOR AND A FORMER TEACHER. 17:20:00 I had a kid who capitalized the first word at the top of the page and every sentence was connected with and or but. He put at period at the end of the page. I was livid. How did this kid get to 11th grade and can't write a sentence. That should not happen. IT DOES HAPPEN...AND SCHOOL LEADERS KNOW IT. THAT'S WHY THEY'VE ALSO PLACED MORE FOCUS AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL TO IDENTIFY CHILDREN LAGGING BEHIND BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL. ALSO...A FRESHMAN ACADEMY PROGRAM OFFERING MORE ONE ON ONE ATTENTION TO PREVENT KIDS FROM GETTING LOST IN THE CROWD. STUDIES SHOW MOST KANAWHA COUNTY STUDENTS DROP OUT IN THE 9TH GRADE. (BUILD GFX) IN FACT, THIS YEAR KANAWHA COUNTY SCHOOL LEADERS ARE STUDYING EVERY STUDENT DROPOUT. PULLING EACH ONES RECORDS...GOING OVER TRANSCRIPTS, DISCIPLINE, EVEN WHAT TEACHER THEY HAD AT WHAT SCHOOL.... 18:26:35 There is a lot of reason and things that may go wrong our job is to try and get them involved, try to help them with social agencies to do whatever we can to help them stay in school. STAYING IN SCHOOL FOR SOME STUDENTS...MEANS FINDING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. TOMORROW GILBERT WILL LOOK AT ALTERNATIVES TO HIGH SCHOOL.

Return to Story IndexTURNOVER
LAST WEEK WE TOLD YOU IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO GET OUT AND CATCH SOME BIG BASS. IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE REPORT, PATRICK MCMURTRY HAS SOME TIPS ON WHERE TO FIND THE FISH THIS TIME OF YEAR. The temperatures are falling, the nights are shorter and the leaves have turned. Those aren't the only things changing in West Virginia-the water in our lakes is also going through a metamorphisis. 10:11-31Kevin Yokum/DNR Fish Biologist says: "Something happens ever fall called turnover. Basically, what happens is durring the warm summer months, the temperatures stratisfy into water columns. If the water is 100', about 50' down there is a line of water segregated to oxygen and the temperature in the lake." That means there is a clear line between water with high oxygen content-which the fish like-and water without much oxygen. 11:00Kevin Yokum/DNR Fish Biologist says: "As the nights get cooler, the temperatures decrease, the water on the upper level sinks and the water on the bottom rises causing the water in the lake to turnover to the surface. The things that anglers need to know is that's poor quality coming up." That means the fish will be on the move and not necessarily where you might expect them to be. 13:07Kevin Yokum/DNR Fish Biologist says: "A lot of people will fish too deep in the fall and that water is turning over and a lot of fish in the fall will be in shallow water and there is a mixing zone where the air is mixing with the water. Sometimes that has very good oxygen content, especially in deep lakes where you'll find a lot of the fish in less than 8' of water and a place that was terrible in the summer might be red hot in the fall." But enjoy that spot when you find it because if you go back the next day, the fish may be gone. That's why fishing is so fun. For West Virginia Wildlife, I'm Patrick McMurtry, Eyewitness News. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TURNOVER IN AREA LAKES, GO TO WCHSTV dot COM SLASH WILDLIFE, OR E-MAIL PATRICK DIRECTLY.
