One half of the amount was made available through the passage of a seven and one half mill ad valorem tax by the city of Hartselle. The other $50,000 was expended from the county's share of the state building commission fund. Each of the two structures is a modern building containing five classrooms and toilet rooms. They have concrete floors covered with asphalt tile, concrete block walls with brick veneer and concrete roofs covered with asphalt and gravel.
