Clerlc-Treasurer Beginning April 1, 1955 chief problem of the Austintown Board of Education since 1950 has been to lceep pace with ter- rific increases in enrollments. They have met this problem to the best of their ability by con- structing two twelve-classroom elementary school buildings - the John W. Davis Building and the Lloyd Building - for less than S800,000.00. In accomplishing this, they have established a new pattern of economy in school building construction. most perplexing problem today is to meet the impact of the torrent of elementary and Junior High pupils now pouring into the high school. The voters in November, 1954, approved an ,Z880,000.00 Bond Issue to help solve this problem. The Board, moving with efficiency and promptness, sold the authorized bonds, approved the architects, plans, secured the necessary ap- proval of the State Tax Commission and the Dhio State Department of Education, advertised for bids according to law, let the contracts, and had construction actually under way by Feb. 1,1955. The modernization of the Fitch building for high school purposes will provide the community with high school facilities second to none. The Board has earned the whole-hearted support of student body and taxpayers for the swift, efficient and economical manner with which they have attacked their problems. pIlgU Four
