Manchester Directors Oppose MES Center Funding
Manchester directors voted to oppose a $16 000 budget item to fund the MES home economics and industrial arts center using newly purchased equipment. The move follows questions about the program’s educational value and whether other districts will participate. School leaders stressed the center offers unique exposure, while some officials favored waiting another year to assess need and cost. The 1969 70 budget stands at a record 625 811 25 with 551 419 56 to be raised by taxes.
