Butte School District Eyes Cost Neutral Changes And Center Plan
Superintendent George F. Downer reports on the 1914-15 district activities and outlines proposed changes from the survey that focus on extending the Intermediate School and adding kindergartens and home economics facilities. The plan cites Clark Park recreation use with shared costs between the city and district, plus a potential natatorium gym and transit for Brookside, Three Mile and Five Mile students. Costs are argued to rise with modernized programs but kept near current levels.
