Minuteman Project Turbulence for Chateau Schools
Supt Ed Schiller met Tuesday with Air Force Corps of Engineers Boeing and building firms in Great Falls to gauge how the Minuteman missile project could affect enrollment in Chateau area schools. Estimated 425 workers could raise elementary enrollments by about 340 and high school by 76 if outside workers come, with local labor hoped to be used. Housing would not be temporary, and most staffing would run June 1961 to July 1962, affecting one school year.
