He said there has been evidence that elementary school enrolments of white pupils are leveling off after a ruse of more than ten years. "It appears that enrolments of colored pupils in elementary school may be expected to climb for years to come. The postwar bulge in population is being reflected in local junior high school enrolments for both colored and white.

From '56 to '61, there was a total pupil increase in the Jackson system of almost 10,000 pupils. "The current five year forecast of pupil population indicates an increase of about 3,700 from '61 to '66," Alvis told trust-tees. "Migration to Jackson has slowed down and it now appears the number of newcomers for 1962 may be about equal to that for 1961," he said.

"To citizens and patrons of schools interested in expansion of high school facilities, a solution the creation of a new senior high school center. This simple answer, however is fraught with multiplicity of circumstances which involve complex school -community adjustments, if: (1) Existing school plants are to be used to reasonable capacity. (2) Pupil assignment to existing high schools are directly affected shall remain undisturbed. (3) Optimum enrollments in all high schools are to be maintained so that good teaching environments will prevail in each.

THREE FACTORS "Three factors should be borne in mind as proposals are offered for consideration in providing junior and senior high school facilities for increasing numbers of white pupils for the near future. They are: 1. Pupil assignment plans to be used from year to year should be consonant with educational needs. 2. Educational programs provided in each facility should contribute positively to the processes of teaching and learning.

3. Maximum use should be made of all facilities so that tax levies for servicing school district bond and interest obligations can be kept as low as possible. "Acquisition of a secondary school site in the western section of the Peeples area seems a proper move unless it should be determined by the board that the Provine and Murrah plants should be further enlarged, thus precluding for some years the establishment of other high school centers," the projection included. "The unfolding situation with the passing of each year should dictate more clearly that it does today when and where inititiative should be exercised to keep building requirements in line with pupil population," Alvis said. By TOMMY HERRINGTOV Clarion-Ledger Staff Writer Additional school construction for Jackson will be required to "catch up and keep up" with nunil enrollments according to Jjoard President Lester Alvis.

A comprehensive report on pupil population prospects, made to the board Monday by Alvis, indicated an expected decline in enrollments after '64-65, back to 62-63 level. "Enrollments in elementary schools for white pupils are not expected to change materially; junior high schools for white pupils are expected to increase about 800 in enrollment; in senior high schools for white pupils, after an increase of 1,000 pupils by 1964-65, enrollments are expected to decline to the 1962-63 level; and steady increases in elementary, junior and senior high school enrollments of colored pupils are anticipated," Alvis said. Hie board president said their consideration of building needs for the next three sessions, based on their projected reported, reveals about 190 more classrooms will be needed if enrollments conform to projections. "It is apparent, as of this date, that a district bond election can be deferred at least one year. Xater developments may postpone it longer," he cautioned "Unenbumbered funds of the 1959 building program plus the continued cooperation of the Mississippi Educational Fin a ee Commission should make is possible for the board to build more than 100 of the needed classrooms within the next two years, "provided building costs remain fairly steady," Alvis added.

"The board has directed that work on projects to supply these additional rooms begin as soon as possible," he continued. "Due to rather wide fluctuations expected in certain senior high school enrollments for the next few years, the trustees have concluded to use of temporary classrooms or portable units where needed, until the necessity of enlarging existing high schools or establishing more senior high school centeres is more apparent and better defined," he said. "The basic unit in making advance plans for public schools is the child," Alvis told the school hoard. MOBILITY CONSIDERED "The mibility of families has been considered since migration rates can fluctuate noticeably," he added. More immediately, the Jackson School Board has already taken action to acquire a site for an elementary school for white pupils in the key Lester Marshall area.

Architects are drafting plans for the new school on Castle Hill Drive, and it, too, is scheduled for use by September, 1963. Because the elementary school Vsually serves its immediate community, its size and location are largely determined by the geography and population of the community. So far as possible, the elementary school Is located to serve as a center of school community interests, and so situated that it is within reasonable distance to the homes of the pupils whom it serves. "It does not appear administratively nor economically feasible to provide comprehensive programs at each of the senior high schools, considering their sizes, education aspirations of pupils, and the resources of the district, the board's projected report states.
