District 5490 Budget Committee Hears Building Need Report Rtldnpt Committee members I mnrp than 9(1 K...urt nn nrp..ar fnr in."liiinn in Ihp anA rnmnHnlinn In nnp Krliiuil IVnrl. 4KA .--V. 1 ... rut.- i i i I 11.1 ' Budget committee members of School District 549C Fri day toured the Medford High school grounds and plant to view areas in which renova tion and consir ction are planned to accommodate the increased number of students next year. The committee also heard, during a lu..Jieon at the school administration office, a report on needed elemen tary classrooms next fall, and what the district probably will need during the next few years. Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield, superintendent, told the com mittee that at least five ele mentary classrooms ' will be needed, four rooms with rest room facilities and connecting walkway at Wilson school, and one classroom at Lone Pine school. E 1 e mcntary classroom needs during the next three to four years will number more than 20, based on pres ent school census figures and anticipated growth. At Medford High school, work before classes start next fall will include renovation of part of the audi torium, renovation of the book room into ad ditional counseling serv ice space, renovation of the district's house project on Jasper st. for three class rooms, and construction of a temporary book room and five temporary and salvageable classrooms. Cost of the work, which the budget committee will consid er for inclusion in the. 1963-64 district budget, is about $95,000 for the five elementary classrooms, and upwards to more than $15, 000 for the high school work. Construction Reduced The elementary classroom construction plan, which the committee will consider this week, has been reduced about half from what previously was suggested. Dr. Mayfield pointed out that the elementary classroom needs were reviewed, and by changing service boundaries and remodeling in one school the district can get by with a minimum of five new class rooms next year. But he noted that by cut ting the needs to a minimum does not solve the classroom problem; In the next few years, more than 20 new ele mentary classrooms will be needed. Band Room Conversion Included in the elementary school plans is conversion of the band room at Howard school into two classrooms. The auditorium stage would then be used as a band prac tice area. Work at the high school includes changing the first 11 rows of seats in the auditori um to provide study hall fa cilities and an area for large group instruction. The present seats will be removed, and seals with movable writing boards attached will be in stalled. The temporary bookroom will be constructed in the court area near the auditori um. The present bookroom has insufficient space for the number of books handled. It will be converted into addi tional counseling service space. Student Project The district house on Jas per st. is a project of high school studenis, who design ed and are building it. Three rooms will be converted into classrooms for use next fall, SECTION D AtAJt-T PAGES 1 to 4 MEDFORDmPWTRIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1963 and the house project itself delayed until after miffiHen space is available for classes to be housed elsewhere. After classes are removed from the house, it will be completed by students, and sold through the cooperation of the Medford Realty Board. The five temporary clau rooms, along with three in the house, should provide suf ficient space for the increased number of students next year, Dr. Mayfield told the commit tee. Salvage Half of Cost The temporary classrooms would be constructed in such a manner that when they are no longer needed, the district should be able to salvage them for at least half of the cost of construction. They would be designed so they could be sold for garages, cabins and similar type build ings. Each temporary class room would be a separate building, constructed with salcability in mind. A location on Melrose st. between Jasper and Ivy sts. has been suggested for the lemporary classrooms. The district owns the land. The temporary classrooms would be used until such time as a new high school is con structed. The school board. following completion of tht budget for next year, is ex pected to proceed as rapidly as possible toward construc tion of a new high school. Construction of a new high school is about year be hind the schedule originally suggested. SECRETARIAL SERVICI Shorthand dictation, tytinf, Icfil experience. Letters, ra ftrti, mailinii statistical.
