School Board discusses holidays and Brambleton issues
The School Board met to read a pupil petition requesting a Monday before Christmas holiday and a principal’s endorsement. It approved holiday timing, reviewed the New Brimbleton school boiler problems, and referred related concerns to the local board. The monthly superintendent report showed attendance, expenditures, and bills totaling $5100.08. A council fee was authorized, and the board defined the Commonwealths Attorney as school board attorney. Additional building decisions affected the Fourth Ward project, slate changes, window additions, and costs around $90 to $100 plus $22 extra. A separate incident involved a white man being beaten by a coworker, with a warrant issued for the assailant. Local ads for Christmas sales and shoe stock closing were noted.
