M. Mickel-sen- , director of pupil personnel, who provided projections of enrollment based on the school census. Most pressing need is for an elementary building near 8600 elsen said. He said that later South above 10th East, Mr school would be needed above 13th East, and with both schools operating, no student would have to cross 13th East. He said a school should be erected between 20th and 23rd East, south of 70th South, concurrently with the Sandy project. He advised that the planned addition to the Butler school would take care of the school population for 1963-64- , but relief would be needed after Mick-anoth- hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

The board has a site at 3rd East between 7200 and 6600 South, and the director said a' school there will be needed in' 1965. He also suggested a addition to Edgemont school in White City, increasing that; building to 27 classrooms. lie said such an addition would, avoid students being transfer-- j red to Alta View and crossing' Dry Creek, where a walkway! would be needed, and that Edgemont is strategically locat-- j ed for permitting transfers into it from any direction to relieve other schools which may bc-- j come overcrowded. A fourth junior high school will be urgently needed by 1965, Mr Mickclsen said it is indicated by elementary enrollments. He quoted figures to show that by 1965 there will be 3,157 junior high and 2,328 senior high t students in the area, not counting move-ins- . Supt. Reed II. Beckstead said Jordan-Hillcres- that four additional teachers have had to be hired since school opened last fall, to keep pace with enrollment increases. The only vacant rooms in the entire elementary system are at Midvale elementary, and these rooms have not been converted from previous junior high use and are located in the oldest, or crnter, building. Projecting census figures to school year, Mr the 1967-6Mickrlsrn said that by that time there will be' (13.3I9 elementary students, 3.756 junior hi;h, and 3.889 senior hich students in school. These figures include only students now living in the district, and do not allow for move-Ins- , which continue at steady pace. This total reaches just short of 20.000 students within the next five years.
