Afitiinh and Iluena Vista: "The
general plan of attendance area
would include a senior hijtK school
bel ween Monmouth and Inde-
f iertdence, junior fuh school at
both Monmouth and Independ
ence, and three attendance cen
ter. ne at Morimouth. mit at In
dependence, and a third,1 which
ecMild serve the I'arker, Highland,
Jlopville, and Huena Vista dis
trict, to serve the first six grade.
The location of the third center

fiom data riot available."
The cost of such a project, Iluf-
faVer adnFt. wouM renult In a
larfccr financial support of school.
The report shown that thin area,
in the year 1944-45, spent only
$54 14 per pupil, as compared with
198.87 per pupil spent by a like
district composed of schools of
the same size in other sections of
Oregon. The ability of a district
to maintain good schools depends
upon the desire of the people in
the district to have the best in
the way of educational facilities
for nil students, from kindergar
ten through grade twelve.
Plan New Buildings
"The building program result
ing from adoption of the above
plan would include the erection
of two new buildings and ex ten
live renovation of two which do
eist. The new. building;; would
be the senior high school building,
and an elementary building serv
ing the southeastern part of the
urea. The present school plant
can be reconstructed at a cost
equal to 35 to 50 per cent of new
! hi 1 1 ifi Hi om In hfHl& at-iirlM Aiin
eiKiit. and nine as junior . high
scihmjI. The removal of grade
seven and eight from the present
elementary schools will relieve the
overcrowding of those buildings
for some time to come.
"The Monmouth-Independence
area, state liuffaker, "is faced
with the. following: first, a grow
ing school population; second, a
fair amount of Inadequate school
buildings; and third, a low ability
to use the wealth of the commu
nity for school building. The
question of cost is often the vi
tal one in consideration for re
organization.! Any reorganization
should result in an improvement
of the educational program of the
community. Any improvement
that Is made in the educational
program must be paid for by the
district.. Any form or organization
that is worthwhile, will Increase
school costs."
School districts In the area
around Monmouth and Independ
ence will be given an opportunity
to join in the consolidation move
if . they desire. A meeting of
school boards of the entire area
is planned for the near future.
