Plan Now Urged for Manchester School Expansion
Manchester school director Ferdinand Bongartz urged the school board to plan for future expansion, study land options, and consider building a new elementary school with the current building converted to a regional junior high. A 10 acre Route 11 site near the fair grounds was noted as a potential future location, adjoining a planned recreation area. The board discussed but took no action, also addressing truck replacement, heating equipment bid from Johnson Control, and bus transportation for Girl Scouts to Shelburne Museum and eighth graders to New York City in June.
