Chapter 1021
Before the official start of the summer break, No . 60 High's Headmaster Chen Tianxiang held a pre-vacation teacher's meeting . During the meeting, he had a very grave expression on his face . "Teachers of No . 60 High… I have bad news . "
The teachers' hearts trembled – they had never heard Headmaster Chen speak so seriously before, and they discussed among themselves in whispers below the dais for a while . Exactly what major thing had happened to make the usually steady Headmaster Chen show such despondence on his face?
"All of you should be well aware that after sixty years of hard work, this is the year that our No . 60 High has the best hope of being selected and promoted to a key city high school . "
Headmaster Chen said slowly, "From the summer break onward, we will gradually complete the upgrade of our facilities, and our teaching team will also be promoted . After our school becomes a key city high school, teachers who have served for more than ten years will receive a key city high school teacher's allowance directly granted by the General Administration of 100 Schools .
"After the promotion to a key city high school, if you continue to teach at No . 60 High and reach fifty years of service, you can get a house in Songhai city, in the school zone around No . 60 High . Your children won't need to be interviewed to enter the school, and the tuition is completely free .
"Another thing is that after the promotion to a key city high school, teachers can take sword boat shuttles on fixed routes to work . In addition to this, we will have a domestic as well as an international team-building activity for all teachers each year . The team-building activities will improve the cohesiveness of our teaching team . At the same time, it'll help relieve some of your stress when you're busy, and you can expand your knowledge in various ways . "
Below the dais, Director Shi was a little baffled at Headmaster Chen's words . "Isn't that good news?"
Headmaster Chen nodded . "Mm, it's good news . Now comes the bad news . "
"…"
"A very important part of being upgraded to a key city high school is the handover of the 'Jade Scroll of School History . ' This is a record of the initial founding of No . 60 High on jade paper, and is the one important piece of material evidence we have of No . 60 High's qualifications as an established school . It's stamped with the wordless magic seals of all the former headmasters . "
Headmaster Chen steepled his fingers together and said in a low voice, "Previously, I took out the Jade Scroll of School History and placed it on my office table . I planned to stamp it with my own wordless magic seal before finally handing it over to the upper department for review . But I regret to say, the Jade Scroll of School History has disappeared . "
"Disappeared?"
"How can it disappear?"
The teachers were in uproar below the dais .
Logically speaking, a school's Jade Scroll of School History actually wasn't anything of value… even a thief wouldn't look at it .
The most important thing, as a lot of the teachers knew, was that there weren't any words on the scroll . This included the headmaster's stamp, which was a wordless magic seal . All this was for the sake of keeping the scroll in pristine condition; the right verbal magic password was required to make the words appear on the scroll .
"Principal, has the scroll been stolen, then?" The teachers couldn't remain calm after this .
They had now reached the stage where every key city high school candidate had to submit the materials for an audit, and the submission deadline was the last day of the summer break . If they couldn't find the scroll before then, the chance to qualify for a promotion this year would probably fall into No . 59 High's lap .
