Move urged for Carbondale high school site
Plan consultant Gerwin Rohrbach urged starting site selection for a new Carbondale High School, predicting the current North Springer site will be inadequate within 12 to 15 years. He proposed a northwest Carbondale site east of Oakland Cemetery, warning expansion of the present campus is costly and impractical. Enrolment could rise to 1,600 in 20 years, with a 30-acre minimum by 1980 and 35 to 42 acres later. the district may need a unit structure to switch school districts and gain bonding power. The Plan Commission also set up a community relations committee and reelected officials for the new year.
