Athens board of education discussed the need for a new high school building Monday in the city building. They noted the current crowded facility lacks a gymnasium and auditorium and the armory must be rented at about 600 dollars annually, but revenue would not cover construction costs, so the plan was tabled. The group approved regular bills, including 1500 dollars for teachers' retirement, with pension funding shared by the teachers, board, and state. They also considered the Education Thrift Service Company plan to establish school savings accounts if banks accept.
