Jefferson Elementary to Close This Week in Butte
Jefferson School at Shields and Gallatin will close within the week after a School District 1 education committee vote of 42 to 2. Trustees Kevin Shannon and Robert Vivian opposed. John W. Whelan was absent. Enrollments show 43 students on opening day, down 24 from last year, with a peak of about 200 when it housed grades 1 through 8. Pupils will transfer to Grant School, with some to Monroe, under plans outlined by Jefferson and Grant principals. The move, supported by school officials, aims to avoid mixed classes and maintains a teacher ratio near 1 to 18 in the combined Grant and Jefferson attendances.

The draft backs higher aid to municipalities, driver education, and expanded Highway Patrol, with tax changes under review alongside opposition to the sales tax and support for Referendum 65 on the six mill levy for the Montana University System.
