Routine Business Transacted at January School Board Meeting
The January board of education met with all members present. Salaries had been approved before the holidays, and only miscellaneous bills totaling 6455.09 were paid. A resolution required fourth through seventh graders to supply geographical readers. Plans called for towels and wash bowls in each building. The superintendent may fill the high school vacancy left by Miss Simons and plans to appoint Harry Miller. Enrollment stood at 2439 after three months, down from last year due to high school declines. The substinquentant reported need for qualified arts around teachers to handle multiple subjects. The note warned that many teachers seek better pay and opportunities, with several resignations, while financial constraints limit new hires and force reliance on younger staff. A call for new blood and improved inducements was urged.
