am 62 THE A PUBLIC THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1988 00 hinle schooD gete 0110 cniDDioED By BILL DONOVAN Special for The Republic CHINLE Officials of the Chinle Public School District said Wednesday they were surprised to learn the district will receive a $10 million federal grant for a new high schcoL "We were told just last week that only $3 million was available for this district," Superintendent Raymond Aguilera said Wednesday. Federal education officials said funds have been allocated to the Chinle district from other projects, which either have been scaled down or postponed. Aguilera said the new building, which will provide classrooms for up to 1,500 students, is projected to cost $20 million. The rest of the money will come from excess funds that the district has in the Apache County treasury and by taxation during the next five years. Located in the center of the Navajo Reservation, the district's high school was built more than 20.

years ago for an expected student enrollment of about 300. In the 1960s, however, Chinle became one of the reservation's major growth areas, and student enrollment now is more than 1,000. Most of the' students are being taught in portable classrooms. The new high school may be overcrowded even before it opens, the superintendent said. Meanwhile, a meeting was held Wednesday in Gallup, N.M., between Bureau of Indian Affairs and Navajo Tribe officials to figure out what to do about structural problems in classrooms at the Many Farms Boarding School, about 10 miles north of Chinle.

Despite an appropriation of more than $3 million last year to renovate the two classroom buildings, BIA engineers said last week the buildings may not. be able to be repaired. One option being considered by the BIA is to use the Many Farms facility only as a dormitory and bus the 600 pupils to Chinle for classes.
