School Committee Discusses Full Time Instruction Plan
The committee debated switching to full time instruction in all buildings with reassignments, new teachers, and departmental work. They favor an enriched modernized program, anticipate better teaching, and approve Hobbs recommendations for an April 9 start after Easter. A site for the Elizabeth Wardwell Gulleral school was proposed with a special town meeting to approve. A resolution opposed Junior High status was withdrawn as sentiment favored not using the new building as a Junior High.
