County Pig Schools Plan Expands High School Coverage
In Eddy County a proposal seeks to establish a county high school system serving Carlsbad Artesia Hope, with Lovington. The plan would require higher taxes to fund a central high school network, allowing students to study locally without tuition while drawing on Lovington and Artesia facilities. It argues against burdensome transport to railroad towns and notes the largest existing school has 105 students while next has 75. Pecos Valley News reports Tompson and C P Chap visiting Carlsbad to arrange a dry goods line for the PS store and promoting a store opening in Lovington.
