Kindergarten plan stirs county school committee debate
At a Rockwell School meeting parents argued over moving kindergarten to Oliver School or keeping an afternoon session at Rockwell. Assistant superintendent Ennis Brisbane recommended maintaining Rockwell’s afternoon kindergarten for 1976-77 and relocating to Oliver if 1977-78 projections stay low. Budget limits blocked a new teacher. The motion was tabled as other stakeholders prepared to speak.
