Marple Newtown District trims staff as enrollment slips
About 5 300 students will report for classes on September 6 1978 in the Marple Newtown School District with roughly 300 fewer pupils than last year. Ten teaching positions are eliminated due to lower enrollment. First grade starts on a half-day basis with staggered arrivals and lunch supervision. Bus passes mailed before Labor Day designate homerooms and bus routes. Summer curriculum changes include new swimming instruction and revised eighth grade biology. Nathaniel Plasker will serve as part time district consultant.
