It deals with recommendations made by state Department of Pnbllc Instruction representatives after inspecting the school plants.) BUSHNELL A need for a sound, long-range plan for cutting down classroom shortage in the Bushnell- Prairie City schools, has been suggested by state school officials; who inspected the district facilities recently. Following the inspection the officials of the Illinois Department of Public Instruction reported their findings to the committee for inclusion in the committee's report.

The state officials were very complimentary of the Checkrow attendance center, according to the committee report, but suggested that eventually the 7th and 8th grade students should have an opportunity for an enriched junior high school program. Ample Space They reported the Prairie City school had ample space but the building was in need of some modernization and improvements in lighting, toilet facilities and others. The recommendation was made to close both of the existing one- room schools when adequate facilities in Bushnell are made available. The high school building was considered "excellent" by the state officials, who said that most pressing problem is the overcrowded conditions in the East Side building. "The district is behind schedule in correcting building shortage problems in view of the increasing enrollments," the state officials said.

The state representatives cautioned the district officials against a stop-gap measure to cope with overcrowding since such measures in most cases do not fit into a future long-range planning. A kindergarten should be considered in the overall plarnir- picture, the state representatives said. State Officials The state officials who inspected the Bushnell-Prairie City facilities were Olin Stead, director of instructional services and Scott Funkhouser, building consultant, both with the office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
