The Athens School Facilities Study Group reviewed a sketch for four possible wings to the main building at its second meeting. The plan shows a new elementary school area, music rooms, and a high school library extension. The group noted the main building could house the high school with alterations and discussed enlarging grounds for play areas and parking. A parent questionnaire was found poorly worded and deemed not useful for planning. The next meeting is set for June 4, 1979.
