Board Must Act on School Needs in San Antonio
A Waterhouse era survey of the elementary system and debate over a new South Side senior high school dominates the San Antonio Board agenda. The board faces a nine cent school tax increase to preserve teacher salaries and fund fixing of dangerous, crowded facilities identified in the district survey. Fire hazards at Fannin and Highland Park, plus structural dangers at Herff and other buildings, underscore urgent need for action, with talk of another bond issue likely unless renovations are funded now.
