New School Board Meets To Plan Additions And Bond Vote
At Groswell Opera House last night the district held a meeting to reorganize and elect three trustees. They voted not to bond for a high school, but to raise 18,000 by bonds over seven years at 4.5 percent, and to spend 14,000 near Center street bridge plus 14,000 for East branch additions. The board explored expanding Southeast and East branches, with estimates for four and five room additions and a possible new center building. Citizens debated site options, costs, and the Cocker property use as a potential school site, while aiming to relieve crowded conditions across branches.
