West Junior High Faces High Costs for New Facilities
District 497 educators push for library and guidance spaces at West Junior High and seek funds for a new auditorium. Principal C D Hargadine says the gym doubles as auditorium and cafeteria, prompting calls for a 5 600 square foot library and 8 000 square foot auditorium with a total initial estimate near 230 000 dollars and potential total around 500 000 dollars with remodeling. The board, with a 1.4 million budget, plans noon study sessions to refine needs for fine arts and high school facilities while considering cost reductions.
