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,

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.
