Saco School Committee weighs using Jordan School to host a summer reading program for economically deprived students from all districts including parochial schools. Superintendent Forbush aims to start with eligible children, then expand to others in need, potentially needing eight teachers led by Ruth Allen. The plan relies on a July to August schedule, with prior city approval and a Planning Grant request of 13500 under the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 for feasibility study.
