Operation Fresh program canceled at Carbondale High School
The Carbondale Community High School board cancelled the Operation Fresh program for this year due to lack of interest and funds. The 1967 initiative aimed to bridge eighth grade to high school for about 80 students, but only 30 showed interest. The decision follows letters to local eighth graders and notes that expanding other summer programs may have affected participation. The board will reconsider if future interest and funding appear.
