hours for violent crimes are from 3 to 8 p.m.

New school building proposal made by tribes and 509-J
A long-term plan for Warm
Springs Elementary School has been
brought back onto the table for dis
cussion. The Comprehensive Plan
drafted in 1988 included plans for a
new school building to be located off
of Hollywood Blvd. But, because of
the water in that area the plans were
shifted for the school to be located
near the Health & Wellness Center
and Early Childhood Center where
the new road will connect to Holly
wood Boulevard.
In that wet area it would cost
more money to fill that in with a solid
foundation.
Following this plan the Early
Childhood Education Center and
Health and Wellness Center are built
in the areas planned for them accord
ing to the Comprehensive Plans
drafted in 1988.
This new school building will
have twenty-four classrooms and will
hold approximately 100 students per
grade level up to the fifth grade level.
Students will be in the sixth grade
before they attend Jefferson County
Middle School where the enrollment
is close to 900 students.
Warm Springs has the oldest
school building in the 509-J School
District.
With a possibility of a referen
dum in progress the Warm Springs
Elementary School could have a new
building in a new location with a
larger capacity.
The Tribes would build this
new school building with a S5 mil
lion loan reworked by the hydro
project. Because the 509-J School
District will operate the school they
will also pay a lease to assist in pay
ment of the loan.
The School District will assist
in selection of the architect and will
work closely with the Tribes on this
project.
Tribal Council will hold an
other meeting and possibly set a date
for a referendum for Tribal Members
to vote.
