Show Millard Surveys School Heeds And Approves In an attempt to obtain an expression ex-pression o the voters in the Millard Mil-lard School District, the school board has just completed a sur-, sur-, vey o opinion on the need for school buildings, according to A. M. Maughan, superintendent. The survey climaxes a long period per-iod of study of the district's needs, including a study made by the j State Department of Public In-1 struction. The results of the study shows that three areas of the Millard County School District are in immediate im-mediate need of a new school build :ngs Hinckley-Deseret area, the Delta area and the Millard high school area. In the Hinckley-Deseret area the need is for a new modern, elementary elemen-tary building. The new building would be constructed to house a program from kindergarten through grades six including all the modern mod-ern conveniences. IN DELTA AREA The Delta area's needs grow out of the over-crowded condition of the schools and the need for remodeling re-modeling and modernizing the old buildings. This condition could be completely overcome by building a new modern elementary school, by remodeling and modernizing the present elementary school for the junior high, and remodeling the high school for the senior high school. ' Also as a part of the Delta area needs, a modern gym should be considered. The present gym due to structural weaknesses can no longer be used for the athletic ath-letic program. Previously and at present the Delta high school is using a church hall in its program, however the availability of this hall may be removed at any time, in which event the school would have to close some of it's important impor-tant programs. The new building, which needs to be constructed at the Millard high school in Fillmore, would include in-clude a physical education department depart-ment and gym, a music department and several classrooms. This building build-ing would make possible the conversion con-version of the Millard high school into a combination junior and senior sen-ior high school unit. At present the seventh and eighth grades are taken care of in the various elementary ele-mentary schools of East Millard County. The proposed plan would have numerous social and civic advantages, as well as offering a more enriched educational opportunity oppor-tunity to all students, says Supt. Maughan. SCHOOL AT KANOSH It has also been recommended that the elementary school at Kan-osh Kan-osh be replaced. The proposed new, modern building would include 4 classrooms. In addition to this, the program would include alterations and changes cha-nges in other buildings of the district dis-trict as the need was determined. Result of the survey, which was mailed to each voter in the district showed 173 residents of East Millard Mil-lard voted yes for the needed school sch-ool buildings while 141 voted no and in West Millard district 315 voted yes while 132 voted no. Totals for the district were 488 voting yes and 273 voting no. |
