Pella Supt Reports Public Schools Details to Kiwanis
Supt Clarence Buerkens spoke to the Kiwanis on November 20 about Pella Public Schools. The district enrolled 620 pupils with 260 in the high school, and expenditures totaled 62000 including 10000 from other districts. No outstanding debt reduces interest costs. The town has lost 10800 teachers since Pearl Harbor, complicating replacements, though the high school retains strong faculty. Elementary buildings date to 1876 and 1904, high school 1915 with 1985 enlargement. He urged building upgrades to provide the best for children.
