A 'proposal that Haywood spend
two millions on an expanded
school system has been made by
the State and county boards of
education in a joint recommenda
tion to the county commissioners.
The detailed report climaxes a
long study of the physical needs of
schools in Haywood, and provides
for a general expansion of build
ings and facilities in every section
of the county.
The report was handed the com
missioners on Friday by Mrs. Lucy
Jones, county superintendent. The
commissioners are expected to
make a thorough study of the pro
posals, and confer with the county
board of education at a later date.
The new recommendations have
been modified from the original
proposed three million dollar pro
gram.
Under the terms of the current
report, Haywood would vote two
millions in bonds. Added to this
would be $346,000 as the county's
share of the state-wide school bond
program. The Canton charter
school district would get slightly
more than 31 per cent of the two
millions, with the other 69 per cent
being used on Haywood schools.
The 69 per cent amounts to $1,394,
200. . The proposal put the cost of the
seven projects at slightly over $1,-
508,700, with $200,000 set aside for
equipment, and $31,500 for con
tingencies, The largest single project would
be the Bethel elementary building,
costing $469,700.
An addition of physical educa
tion unit, and classrooms . at the
Crabtree-Iron Duff school has been
set at $168,000.
The Waynesville high vocational
building is estimated to cost $330,
000. t
The elementary building for
Waynesville set at $260,000.
Clyde would get $100,000 for a
physical education building.
A sum of $206,000 was set for
repairs, renovations and additions
