Bond Issue Discussed by Trimble Superintendent
Trimble local school Superintendent George Sasser told a PTO meeting the July 11 bond vote could raise 433000 to aid financing, with no state aid due to enrollment shortfalls. He warned consolidation pressure would rise, and a 6.2 millage would keep a new building possible even if consolidation occurs. He favored central location, reassured on Jacksonville school condition, and outlined reorganization plans and fundraising efforts including cafeteria improvements and teacher support.
