Amarillo Chamber Backs Three Million School Bond
The Amarillo Chamber of Commerce board voted unanimously to endorse a $3,000,000 school bond issue to be voted on April 1 and expressed a vote of confidence in the school board. Superintendent Charles M. Rogers argued the plan prioritizes elementary expansion over a new high school, noting current high school enrollment and cost constraints. The study predicts growth to about 2,700 high school students by 1960 and 3,400 by 1965, with plans to expand the existing high school rather than build anew.
