With so many other immediate
needs so apparent, can a new
Senior High School be justified
at tbU time?
As a resident of Warsaw.
1 can not qualify die needs of
die entire eras as I realise
the OupUn County Board of
Education most; but I can deal
specifically with the most im
minent needs in the Warsaw
areas. To buy land and con
struct a new Senior High Sc
hool approximately three mi
les east of the James Kenan
School site, seems poorly jus
tified. I propose it is more
feasible to adept the existing
Senior High School to an ad
equate facility with a few ne
cessary additions. The James
Kenan School site is well dra
ined. adjoining property is a
vailable for necessary future
expansion, and it is centrally
located in the population grow
th area.
ib May a n, a proposed sc
hool construction program for
die James Kenan School Dis
trict was submitted to Mr. Y
el vert on and the Diqilin Coun
ty Board of Education by a
Building Advisory Committee
whose membership wss coupos?
ed of citisens from this school
dtetrict. This plan is endor
sed by many citieens in this
area. The plan suggests ma
king the Warsaw - Douglass
School and EX. Smith School
the Junior High Schools for the
two communities. James Ke
nan with some additions, would
remain the Senior High School
for the district. Warsaw and
Kenans rille each would build
new Elementary Schools.
I believe the following poin
ts substantiate this proposal:
(1) Both Warsaw - Douglass and
CX. Smith are already eqtMK
fed with facilities oeceadHH
for an adequate Junior ??
School program. These incl
ude science laboratories, ag
ymnaslum. shop area, and home
economics laboratories. <?
Traffic hazards and resulting
accidents an busy N.C. Rr. 24
In Warsaw, would be drastica
lly reduced because the num
ber of students involved would'
be reduced from approximately
intini? u/arsiw Ir Hloh ^rhool
Jftoldr bci exposed
i b -: ow : 11 roAt'
SS ???
viae the necessity for purcha
sing oew lands for new build
*Repairs and renovation need
ed to make Warsaw-Douglass a
1st class Elementary School
would go a long way toward
building a new Elementary Sc
hool. It seems a waste of
tax money to renovate Warsaw
Douglass for a short range
program as indicated in Mr.
Yelverton's plan. Why not ap
ply these funds toward a new
Elementary School now?
For approximately the same
amount of money, two new Ele
mentary Schools can be built
instead of a large 1,100 pupil
Sr. High School. Bigger is
not always better. At a time
of extreme vulnerability, sh
ouldn't problems of drug abuse
aid civil disorder be carefully
weighed? I submit for tfaoqght
and considerate. that a better
use of tax dollars and existing
facilities is to endorse the Ja
mes - Kenan District Building
Advisory Committee's plan.

Mrs. Mary D. Coleman
First let me say, 1 didn't
attend the P.T.A. meeting en
Tuesday night.
I know we need seme new
schools and more teachers, es
pecially more teachers-where
there are 35 to 40 students in
a roam.
What I warned to write a
bout has been on my mind
since school started but, I was
just to chicken to say anything
about it i would like to ask
how many of you parents Www
the kind of School Bus your
children ride to school on?
Have you ever looked on the
inside of It? Do you know how
many 'Uim the mechanics has
put it back together for our
pchlldt* to rii? Whau the
brakes go out 3 and 3 times in
one week, when the ligjxs on
top won't work, when it rains
die driver is wet from knees
down. ?- 1 ,, t
I can bet you mooey home of
you farmers that can* your
hogs and cows to marks would
not even haul them in these
buses, but our children arecar
ried to and from school fa tfa

what they have and this brake
onditlon las been corrected
All I can say U a lot of you
people wfll have a lot to say
