Union high school plan urged to ease overcrowding
Heath told trustees a union high school could open by fall 1966 if approved by spring 1964 and urged immediate steps toward merging village and rural elementary districts. He proposed temporary measures next September including reopening kindergarten rooms to create multiple sections and double sessions in second grade to ease crowding while pursuing a union high school. He warned that non resident enrollment would be restricted only as a last resort to protect the high school and curriculum. Kirsch warned enrollment over 700 would force restrictions and noted high non resident participation in senior classes.
