Enlarged Richland School Expands Primary and Upper Grades
Richland school opened a new primary plant last September adding airy classrooms and a new cafeteria eliminating bus trips to the grade site. Demolition of the Santa Fe building proceeds, freeing a site used since 1941. Five new upper grade rooms were added and next year will ease 7th and 8th grade class sizes. The district added a reading teacher and counselor from the Henrietta Weill Clinic and expects continued improvements, with music praised countywide and a planned school library to be built.
