Board members favored installing a boiler with sufficient capacity to accommodate possible additions later, but determined air conditioning should be considered as an alternative depending upon available funds. Instead of the roof water drain, the pitched roof should include rain gutters with heat tape installed in strategic areas over entrances. Beat The Heat At Friday, July 25.

Saving from use of these bricks would be about $80,000 on the new North Sevier High long-rang- School. In the last board meeting. North Sevier Principal Ross Marshall told the board there are insufficient funds to conduct the athletic program at that school. His concern was being able to continue the number of athletic programs currently being conducted at the school with use of limited funds. The small number of students, plus small gate receipts, limit the amount of money taken in for operating athletic programs. Board members requested a full report of athletic budgets of all three high schools to be used in comparing expenditures during the past two years. The matter will be considered at a future meeting. Mary Ann Hatch was hired as a half-tim- e compensatory aide at North Sevier High School. Next meeting of the board will be at 8 a.m. Thursday, July 29, in the District Office.
