Mt Anthony District backs $22,000 bid in BCHS rental talks
At Mt Anthony Union High School District annual meeting, trustees endorsed boosting the union board budget by 22000 to ease negotiations with the Catholic High board over BCHS building rental. The two sides remain far apart, with the union seeking 25000 and BCHS demanding 54000 as a stopgap for overcrowding caused by BCHS closure. Freshman classes would stay at BCHS while upper grades move to Park Street, a plan described as an educational compromise and likely to require rapid settlement.

Rent for BCHS housing could ease overcrowding next year
The board weighs renting BCHS and other options to house 1,863 anticipated students for 1967-68 and to fund a new addition by 1968-69. Alternatives include moving Grades 7-9 to the Bendi building or delaying vocational training. An agreement between boards would curb disruption and avoid community religious division.
