Committee Praises Board Of Education
The newly appointed School
Improvement Committee of
Rose Hill Elementary School
No. 1 in a letter to Russell
Brock, Chairman of the Duplin
County Board of Education, pr
aised the board for the speed
with which the substitute facil
ities were readied for the use
of the pupils.
The committee noted that
there were still several im
provements that must be made
to ready the present building for
the two years it will be used be
fore the new building will be
ready for use. '
The fo lowing needs were
cited by the committee:
(1) One additional mobile
classroom is needed to remove
a fifth grade from an undeslr
albe classroom in the cafeteria
building. This will allow an en
tire grade to eat at one time.
This is necessary because the
school is now using the block
teaching system and the pupils
should be free to move from one
class to another without waiting
for part of the class to finish
eating.
(2) A lavatory is needed In
each classroom for sanitation
purposes, 4s well astofaciliate
the teaching of art and other
related activities. At present
there are only two lavatories
for more than 400 pupils.
(3) It is suggested that the
bathrooms at the rear of the
white wooden building be re
activated as there are only 8
commodes to accommodate all
the pupils.
(4) In the interest of safety
the fence should be restored on
the highway and extended 20 feet
north down the private road.
(5) Boardwalks are needed to
connect the school facilities be
cause of flooding conditions
after an average rain.
