City Schools Show Growth in Enrollment Since 1922
Since October 1922 city schools have shown steady enrollment growth per Superintendent Ross N. Robinson. Totals through Oct 2 1925 show elementary gains, Jr and Sr high rises, and a total increase of about 500 pupils with elementary up 38.5 percent. Concerns cited include higher dropout rates at the high school level due to economic need and waning parental interest, prompting arguments for stronger public opinion and possible remedies. A Board of Equalization, appointed by City Manager BF L Gloud, will oversee tax assessments and allow owner adjustments as part of city fiscal policy.
