Baytown Eyes Urgent Need for Second High School
Baytown leaders say a second high school is urgently needed to handle rising enrollment. Dr. Joe Horeczy, board president, told the League of Women Voters that a bond issue could not finish before 1965 and a temporary plan is required. He estimated a $3 million new school for 2,000 to 2,500 students and noted ninth grade integration and logistics to free up junior high space. Tax impact projected at 35-20 cents per $100 valuation, with exact figures by May.
