School Board Considers Transfers and Summer Projects
The board compared this year’s sale price of a solid comparable unit to last year’s 26 000 and 32 500 figures. HEW rules restrict transfers that upset ethnic ratios by more than 1 percent, affecting Sabine White Oak and possibly Gladewater. Four Winona transfers were denied for 1976 77 to preserve ratios. Three summer projects include tennis courts at Middle School the voc ag building and the old voag building with concrete poured for courts and fencing pending. Rain delays the new ag building with foundation and rough plumbing done yet slab pending. Outside projects will wait until the building is ready and state funds timing remains unclear.
