Carbondale Hopes Big Grade School Plan By 1985
A long range planning committee in Carbondale weighs two options to shrink to four or less elementary schools by 1985. One plan closes Springmore and possibly Thomas and Lincoln Junior High, adds rooms to Winkler and Lewis, and builds a middle school at Parrish. The other enlarges Winkler, consolidates grades, and phases closures including Springmore, Thomas, Lewis, Parrish, and eventually Lincoln, with a potential bond referendum. The board meets Thursday to review progress and possibly repair Thomas heating for about 100000.
