Edenton Enters Semi-Finals In Rocky Mount Caaamunities Must Pay To Use Schools ________ V Efforts Make To Hold Expenses Within Budget The State School Commission has > called ithe attention of superintend ents of schools to the object of school plant operation, due to the fact that only a certain amount of money has been set aside for janitors’ service, water, lights and power, janitorial supplies and fuel. The Commission wishes to emphasize that it does not discourage the use of school taiild ings as a community center, tout rather encourages it. But it simply wishes it understood that the Com mission can go just so far in the op eration of these plants. Such service ,4s limited to primarily instructional serrare. Therefore when a school building is used at night for any other purpose than for Parent-Teacher Association meetings and commencement exer i rises the local community or adminis trative unit will have to finance the cost. The Commission maintains that Parent-Teacher Association meetings, teachers’ meetings and commence ment exercises are necessary xdhool work and no charges are to be made for these items under the operation of the plant. With this instruction from the State :School Commission, Superin tendent W. J. Taylor wishes to call I attention to the various committees relative to the use of school plants. Where the school is used by the ’ community for other than stated above, charges should be made on an estimated basis, reimbursing: the State tor {fuel and lights. The lights; charge "is appliable to only two schools bathe County thus far, Cen ter Hill and Chowan. AH schools, however, are subject to fuel charges.
