Bruce Mines in Northern Ontario's Algoma district, the first copper mining town in Canada, was founded in 1842. school district bond issue is reviewed. Today's article concerns long-rang build ing . plans of the district, and why the bond issue does not include planning for more than two yeers.) To determine long - range building needs for School Dis trict 549C, several factors are considered by district offic ials. The $750,000 bond issue on which district patrons will vote Thursday, March 31, is for building needs for the next two years, with those facili ties necessary for the 1960-61 school year being constructed first. Because of population trends, and consideration of other factors, long r range plans are subject to revision periodically. - Among factors involved in long-range plan ning for district 349Q are: 1. Whether Medford's edu cation program is extended In scope to include kindergarten and vocational pre-school fa cilities, andor post - high school facilities, such a junior college. Second High School 2. If a second high school is constructed, how each will be used. For example, if a four-year high school is more advantageous, the need for an additional junior high school will be postponed for a nunv ber of years. The high school now is a three-year operation, that is for grades 10 through 12. A four-year high school would be for grades 9 through 12, leaving only the seventh and eighth grades in junior high. 3. Location of housing de velopments. The only two large areas at present in dis trict 549C, where sizable housing projects may start, school district officials noted, appear to be between Griffin Creek and the Washington-Jefferson-Oak Grove schools' attendance areas. Preliminary surveys do not indicate any large scale home construction program in these areas at this time, officials noted. But if such a program develops, a new school may have to be constructed in each locality at some undetermined date. Projected Home Building Present projected home building appears to be in the Hoover, Wilson, Jefferson and West Side areas, where class room needs can. be met by additional rooms at the respec tive schools, officials pointed out. 4. The time for the need of an additional high school will depend on maximum enroll ment in the junior and high school age group during the next few years, school offic ials said. At this time, they said, it appears that need for a new high school will be 1964 or 1965. Additional growth of the district is evident, adminis trators noted. For the first time in the history of Med ford schools, there are more than 600 students enrolled in several grades. This year, 435 students will graduate from high school. A total of 771 students were en rolled in the first grade this year, 336 more than will be graduated. Enrollment to Increase ... Based on children now liv ing in the district, enrollment in Medford schools may in crease in five years from 7,646 Mi$$i0II egg noodles Trills I " - issue for a two-year construction program in an election Thursday. Also planned at Jack sonville is repairing and "airiting the ex terior of the building. this year to between 8,562 and 9,253 in 1965, school officials said. This, however, does not consider additional children who may move into the dis trict as they have in past years, administrators added. The growth pattern indi cates a continued increase in population in this area. The population of Jackson county, school officials noted, in 1947 was 58,300, and in 1959 it was 71,300. In Medford, the popu lation increased from 15,346 in 1947 -to 26,300 this year, based on Oregon state board of census figures. School officials noted that whenever 30 additional chil dren either move into the dis trict or attain school age, another classroom with neces sary desks, equipment and services is needed. On the basis of the average increase in recent years of 300 to 500 students, the approxi mate need is for a 10 to 16 room school or equivalent additions each year. Average Constant The board and budget com mittee members noted that changes and variabilities in growth centers and patterns change from year to year, but the average for. the entire dis trict has remained constant. Officials anticipate that the proposed two-year building program will relieve imme diate elementary classroom needs in all schools. Addi tional classrooms will have to be added at schools in atten dance areas where growth re quires it. With the program, antici pated junior high school needs should be met for a r umber of years, officials said. This could be accomplished first in the present buildings with additions of a few classrooms at Hedrick, then by shifting from a three-year junior high program to a two-year plan with ninth graders attending high school if a new high school is constructed. Proposed Additions Proposed additions to Med ford High school should take care of classroom needs for three to four years. However, if present enrollment con tinues, a new high school will be needed in 1963 or 1964, officials said. The school board and school officials have been collecting information on the district's building needs for four years, officials noted. Findings were supplemented by a study made by school building and finance authorities from the University of Oregon and from lay persons familiar with financing and constructing school buildings.
