Ia the light of the crowded building condition at Matthew Whaley ana tne iact tnat relief in the form of a county elementary school will not De enective before at least September 1950, Byrd recommended that immediate steps be taken to add a high school classroom and other facilities previously considered, together with one elementary classroom inis worK to be completed by September of this year. He pointed out to the school board that funds included in the recent bond issue for school mimoses were sufficient to bear the major part of these costs if not the entire cost. ine proposed rooms would be at.

the ground floor level of the present building and, therefore, would not necessitate entierly new construction. Mr. Byrd assured the board that in the light of information concerning the Increase in enrollment over the next several years that even though James City County provided a school for its elementary children within the next year or two the total building would be needed either to provide classrooms In such areas as fine arts and other special fields where there are no regular classrooms now and to take care of the steadily Increasing enrollment M.

Wll liamsburg School Board Tuesday gave attention to esentlal building requirements in the period of time before James City County completes Its proopsed elementary schools for white and Negro county elementary pupils.

Superintendent Rawls Byrd stated that there would probably be a nominal change in enrollment at Bruton Heights school which could be taken care of within the present plant fqr another year or more, but that at Matthew Whaley School Indications were that a second room outside the school building would reed to be secured for next year If no additional elementary room Is provided in the present building and If pre-first grade children are admitted next fall. The school board has given some consideration to eliminating, at least temporarily, the group of pre-first; grade city children. This group has been in operation for a number of years, having been taken over by the school board after being carried on for some years by parents at their own expense. In giving consideration to this possibility, it was pointed out that such a move would not be a forward step educationally, but that present building conditions might make such a decision necessary for the time being. In addition to the crowded building situation, another reason given for considering this was the fact that Matthew Taley Is the only school in this ea that, maintains a pre-iirst grade group at this time which fact brings about certain other problems.

It was further pointed out that at the present time Matthew Whaley does not have building space for carying on the program as set up. In addition to carrying on one group In a local church, the classes In art, elementary music and elementary School Paper Given Honors Williamsburg, March 16.
