City schools superintendent Robert D. Morrow told the board a 12 month year is not economical or feasible here. He cited attendance during hot summers, uneven needs across grades, cooling limitations, and the impracticality for winter visitors and dispersed families. The board voted to install a water system at Catalina Junior High and drill a well at Peter E. Howell Elementary, with quit claim deeds being considered for five Yaqui families occupying school property bounded by Calle Central, Calle Oriente, Ventura and Matus streets.
