November 8, 1984 PAGE 4 MARYSVILLE ADVOCATE chool conditions described the same time physical education classes are being conducted in the gym no facilities for indoor recess in bad weather because the gym is in constant use; lack of room in the ground-floor hall for civil defense drills. Sharon Williams, who teaches at the Beattie Elementary School where the district's fifth and sixth graders are attending 'along with Beattie's elementary grades, said "we have the best situation of all" because the facility is good, but "we are packed in." She said the day is compacted for the fifth and sixth graders because of the time used for busing. Special education teachers Nancy Manley and Marianna Wurtz said their students' educational process is inadequate because they should be with other students as much as possible. Mrs. Manley 's class is currently being conducted in the basement of the Christian Church educational wing, and Mrs.

Wurtz's in the Episcopal Cabin. The inability to mainstream the special education students with other students of similar ages in a whole-school situation is causing failure to follow state-mandated guidelines under which the district receives government funding for the programs, Manley said. "We can't do that very long, because we are going to lose state funds," she said. Teachers were asked at a meeting of parents and teachers Monday night in the Lincoln Elementary School gym to tell of conditions this year in Marysville 's elementary schools. Cindy Lake described these conditions in the basement of the Christian Church, where third- and fourth-grade classes are being conducted: four classes in one large room divided by partitions that do not completely close off one from the other and do not close out sound; res (rooms in only one of these classrooms, requiring students from all the classes to pass through that room to use them; a similar situation with the exit in another of the rooms where Effort for new school starts (Continued from page 1 safe for the students.

In July the USD 364 board voted unanimously to close Central School, Phillipi said, and at a later meeting decided to build a metal building to serve as a stop-gap elementary school that could later become a high school industrial arts building. The building is being constructed south of the junior high. "We've got to look at what we can be in another year or two," Phillipi said. "We need to organize now and form a grassroots playground facilities; and Jack of a place to go for a tornado drill (or a tornado). Current plans are for the students to be taken to the MJHS basement for civil defense drills.

Parents expressed dissatisfaction with a tentative plan to take elementary students from the metal building to the junior high for lunches, possibly in the hall near the cafeteria. An alternative would be to continue to bus them to Lincoln school for lunch, but concern was voiced over the loss of time. Persons who attended the meeting discussed what should be Edwards heads PTO Workers start removing materials from Central Workers began removing salvageable materials from the interior of Central Elementary School Monday in preparation for its demolition later this month. Champney Wrecking Company employees will continue working inside the building to remove woodwork, temporary walls and other fixtures for two or three weeks, according to Dr. Wm.

An elementary parent-teacher organization was formed at a meeting Monday night in the Lincoln Elementary School gym. Brenda Edwards was elected president; John Lowdermilk, vice president; Josie Butler, secretary; and Jo Snyder, treasurer.

Dessert theater draws 250 persons "there is constant traffic through it;" lack of playground facilities; loss of class time and scant recess time because of time taken up for busing students to Lincoln school for music, lunch and physical education.
