East Side District Considers Two High School Plans
Voters and parents hear proposals for expanding the East Side School district with two options. Plan I would build a new high school for grades 10 11 and 12 on seven acres south of Franklin stakehouse with grounds for sports and a 440 yard track, while Jefferson would house grades three to six with reduced enrollment and the current high school would become a junior high. Plan II adds a gym and several classrooms, with similar relocation of grades and space to ease crowding at Central, Jefferson, and the gymnasium.
