Acton Area School Board Cuts Budget Amid Council Request
The Acton area school board reduced its requisition by 2000 to 610,000 following a council appeal to cut budgets. The prior 63,000 was trimmed after staff-salary savings were found. Nine new teachers were hired for the 1980-60 term, including Miss Barbara Cunningham and several graduates from teachers' colleges. The board reviewed plans for a 12-room addition at Robert Little school, discussed new exit features, temperature controls, plastering, and murals, and considered using old school tubular fare escapes as culverts with the town's interest.
