School Board Notes on petitions and education programs
School board discussed signing petitions for curb and gutter on E avenue NW from 10th to 18th streets NW with frontage at Fillmore and Roosevelt schools. Policy requires signatures from more than half of other property owners. Chamber of Commerce group proposed a distributive education program for the senior high schools, to be detailed later. The board filed a tuition charge objection and considered a refundable registration fee to reduce dropouts. Civil defense officials will build a small prototype fallout shelter in a unused Washington high school basement for instructional use at no district cost.
