Should We Consolidate? . vV . . Preliminary plans for the construction of an elementary school building in Salina have caused much concern in the neighboring towns of Redmond end Aurora, on the issue of consolidation of the three schools. It has been expressed that if the building is constructed, consolidation is imperative. This is not true. Two members of the Sevier Board of Education have expressed their views that no consolidation will go into effect without the consent of either Redmond or Aurora. If one wants to consolidate with Salma they can; both can or neither have to. That is how the situation stood this week. However, there are a few points that should be thought over carefully before any decisions are reached. 1. Both Aurora and Redmond are presently operating under a special ruling from the State, whereby they receive 3V2 classroom operating expense, when they are entitled to only about 22a, according to enrollment. This additional help could be withdrawn at any time, leaving the district in a financial crisis. 2. The school in Salina will be constructed regardless, but if it is to accomodate either Redmond or Aurora, or both, the decision to consolidate must be made before plans are drawn. No additional building program is expected for about 15 years while the bonds (if they are approved) are being retired. 3. Educational advantages of the three schools in one building should be thoroughly explored. Sigurd, Venice, etc., have been consolidated in our own district, and parents of elementary children in these communities would certainly be able to answer many of the questions that have arisen the minds of parents of the in same age group in Redmond and Aurora. Consolidation programs have been carried out in other districts, and maybe some of the answers can be secured in these communities. 4. Would .the students of Redmond and Aurora be better off with a complete program under one classroom than under the present program, where ' one teacher has two grades in each of the schools? 5. The program of consolidation would not save money, even though it would reduce the number of teachers and janitors. But, it would make more money available to compete for teachers as the necessity arises. 6. Under consolidation, there would be enough students for two good classrooms for each grade. At present, Salina has too many for one, and not enough for two. Redmond and Aurora are short on one. 7. Experts state the benefit is to the child, with better educational advantages, as well as social under such a plan of consolidation. There are many more questions, both pro and con, but the above are a few of the more serious ones. Aurora and Redmond should weigh the matter carefully, and decide for themselves, not on a selfish basis, but what is best for their children. We are convinced the young students in Salina would benefit as much from consolidation as the students in Redmond and Aurora, maybe even more. But, if I lived in Redmond or Aurora, I'm not sure just how I would feel. The answers to my questions could come from parents in communities that have been consolidated, good or bad. It is there I would seek the solution as to what is best for my child. Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Crosier were house guests two days last week at the home and Mrs. Stanley Barrett.
