December 9, 1933. Back Creek District. The school board felt that the one room at Hampton would be continued indefinitely, the two room school at Gravel Springs should be operated as a two room school, the one room school at Russell Grove should be transported to Mt. Williams, which should be operated as a two room school, and the same bus should trans- port the eight grade children from Russell Grove and Mtl Williams and the elementary school children from Friendly Grove to Mountain View. An additional room should be erected at Mt. View to take care of the eight grade for that section, of Back Creek District. Should a high school be erected later this same bus could transport the pupils above the eight grade to the central high school. The board also felt that as soon as possible that a six room building should be erected at Gore to take care of the increased enrollment there and other one room schools, probably Rock Enon and Hayfield. The board decided that Round Hill should be converbed into a four room school and that Lamps and probably Hayfield should be transported to this school and if the road is improved from the Northwestern Grade to Opequon, the Opequon School should be transported to Round Hill also. Gainesboro District. The board decided to consolidate all of the schools in Gaine District at some point between G Cross Junction, and build an eight room school building. Their plan is to get money from the C. W. A. to grade the grounds, bore a well, put in sanitary toilets and f oundtaion for the building, if possible,and to secure funds from the Y. W. A. and the Literary Fund for the erection of the building. The building exclusive of the work and improvement to be carried out under the C. W. A. should cost about $16,000; $5,300. of this can be secured from the P. W. A., and there is at least $1,800. now in the G District School Fund that can be applied to this building. This would leave about $8,900. to be borrowed from the Literary fund, to be paid in fifteen equal annual instalments of $593.33, which would require a district levy of about 15 cents. Oueauon District. The plan for Opequon District is to improve the building at Armel by painting or pebble dashing it, grading the grounds, and repairing and painting the roof. It is hoped that this may be done with C. W. A. funds. The four room building at Highview needs painting and repairing, which should be done with C. W. A. funds. The one room schools at Deerfield and Relief should be closedd and the pupils transported to Middletown and Stephens City where they would secure a better type of instruction. When these buildings are closed the material in one building could be used to improve the negro school building at Middletown. The Middletown High School Building needs painting, toilets and cesspool should be provided and grounds should be graded. An additional strip of 7 land can be secured from Watson and the lower end of the twelve acre lot, for which there is no use, can be sold to him, andadequate play grounds for the increased enrollment provided. At Stephens City additional toilets are badly needed in the main high school building. Also a cistern between the two small buildings to furnish addition al water and a cess pool and sewerage disposal plant. The main building needs painting and the athletic field should be graded. It is hoped to secure funds from the C. W. A. for this project. This would take care of the improvement of buildings in Opequon District for some years to come. Shawnee District. It is the plan of the school board to continue the two room school at Mt. Aire, to close the one room school at Opequon and transport the children to Round Hill, to add an additional room at Kernstown and transport a group of children now beyond the two mile limit on the Middle Road, to Kernstown, to close Carper's Valley, Good Samaritan, Greenwood and Evendale and transport the pupils to the Miller building when those pupils from Stonewall District are moved to a b u ilding to be erected somehwere north of 'Winchester. Stonewall District. The board felt that two additional rooms should be added to the White Hall building, an additional acre of land secured to enlarge the school grounds, and that Shirley, Little Mountain, Woodbine and probably Welltown should be closed and transported to this school. That there should be an additional acre purchased at Bryarly and an additional room built to take care of the congestion at this point. A well should be bored while money is available from the C. W. A. and the same funds could be used ffor excavation and other needed improvements. Consolidation should take place at some point near Stephenson, or further south, and a building should be erected north of 'Winchester to take care of the hundred children from Stonewall now at the Miller School, the Valley School and Red Bud. A new building is heeded badly for the negro school at Cedar Hill, One of the whiteone room schools that is to be abandoned should be moved to this point, which would save the erection of a new building. NEW LOCATION OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS Upon motion the following resolution was unanimously adopted. "Resolved that the member of the Board of Supervisors from the District for which land is to be purchased for the new location of school buildings shall be a member of the committee for the purchasing of said land."
