Chapel Hill schools would receive

cational enrichment legislation.

by Chapel Hill Superintendent
Joseph Johnston the seven-school

/ plan, as compared with tihe cur
rent apprppriation of $512,441.00.

Shouldn’t cut local share
In an informational statement
to the school board, Dr. Johnston
declared that the local system
should not decrease its expendi-1
tures as a result of the possible
state increase. Since the idea of
the state proposals is “to increase
the quality of education, it would
be defeating this purpose if we
reduced our local expenditures.”
Actually the anticipated in
creases by the state would add
to local expenses, he notedi,
since locally paid teachers
would also receive the antici
pa ted 21 per cent salary hikes.
He anticipated the total of
such increases would be $25,000,
plus $0,600 in additional benlc
j fits. It would be possible^ under
certain alternatives, to finance
these increases without raising
the district supplementary tax
rate.
Recently County Schools Su
perintendent Paul Carr noted that
his system would receive a 29
per cent state, appropriation in
crease under the “Sanford” plan
— total of $8f>8,600 as compared
to the present $624,900.
Expenditure of $156,000 is seen necessary
ito bring CH libraries up to national standards
By Bill Dover
It would cost approximately
| $156,000 to bring the libraries of
! the Chapel Hill schools up to the
j American Library Association
| standards, Supt. of Schools Jos
eph E. Johnston told his Board
of Education recently.
Johnston said this total would
include hiring additional person
nel for the libraries, buying more
books and .magazines, enlarging
space, and obtaining new equip
ment.
| He gave the following costs for
each of the items: (1) additional
personnel, $25,000 per year; (2)
. enlarging space, $125,000; (3)
books, magazines, etc.,. $20,000;
and (4> equipment, $9,000.
Book buying tops
Johnston said “if I were to es
tablish priorities, I would say that
we should give first considera
; tion to the purchase of additional
! books and to the purchase of sup
i plies and equipment.
“Another item which should
be given high priority is the
employment .of clerks to assist
librarians," he said.
Johnston’s priority list was ac
cepted by the Board.
A site for the new junior high
school has not been chosen. The
Board decided to seek the advice

No new name yet
The committee on renaming
Smith Level School reported that
it has not decked on another
name. It stated that approximate
ly ten alternative names have
been submitted.
The problem of finding a
new name for the proposed
Smith Level Elementary school
arose when residents of the
Smith Level community stated
they wished to reserve that
name for the future in case a
school is ever built in that
area.
The new school will not be lo
cated in the Smith Level commu
nity.
The Board voted to appoint a
committee of three Board mem
bers to work with City Planning
