New Junior High School Planned to Relieve Congestion

If approved, seventh and eighth grades would be removed from elementary schools and high school would become three years, with the junior high absorbing seventh to ninth grade work. The plan requires board approval amid budget concerns and a forthcoming fiscal-year meeting.
