SCHOOL BOARD The School Board for the town of Rockingham is made up of five members; John Fletcher, William Hennessey, Priscilla King, Alfred Githens and John Wisell. These people have been chcscn by their fellow townsmen to provide the best educational facilities for the community and its future citizens. This year the school board was faced with a new problem. When school started in September, there were over seven hundred students registered. With this number of young minds to educate the School Board realized that the present school could not satisfactorily accommodate all these students. So that they would make the decision that would best serve the town now and in the future, they hired educational consultant, Dr. John E. Marshall. Dr. Marshall looked over the situation and gathered all the available facts. On the basis of what the trends have been, Dr. Marshall advised the building of a new junior high School at the new athletic field. This would be equipped with a regulation size gym for varsity basketball. He advised the building of a junior high school rather than a senior high school because at the junior high level the cost per student is lower because they need less equipment. Also the junior high should have available an outdoor recreational area, which is not available at the present location. Now it is up to the town and the School Board to decide what to do. The School Board has also done other things this past year. They approved the hiring of another math and science teacher to meet the growing demands in that field and to lower the teacher load. They approved the laying of rubber matting in the entryways to the gym and the first floor to insure greater safety to those people who visit our building. We are very lucky to have an interested and capable group of people as the guid- ing lights of our school system. 6
