7fxe elm. yea.: swf amz The Clarion Ioint School System was organized on September 22, 1949, after several months of intensive study and meetings. The member districts are Clarion Borough, Highland Township, Monroe Township and Paint Township. The school directors in these districts are desirous of furnishing the best pos- sible educational opportunities for the children, and it is recognized that schools can be operated to the best advantage and most efliciently on a community basis. Then, too, the larger administrative unit is in keeping with the trend throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Clarion joint School Board operates and maintains school at eleven loca- tions. The board has plans to reduce these locations to three. Two applications have been filed with the State School Building Authority for an addition to the Senior High School and an elementary school building which is to be located on the site north of the Senior High School. A representative from each school board attended a conference on the build- ing applications at Harrisburg on February 17, 1950. Studies are now being made in each district as to the method of financing the projects which will be amortized on an annual rental basis. W Music and art instruction as well as dental health have been added to all the schools in the system since the formation of the jointure. The nursing program began in the four districts last year. The dental hygienist cleans the teeth of all boys and girls in the entire system. There are more than one thousand boys and girls enrolled in the joint schools. The Clarion Joint School Board with twenty school directors is the largest organization in Clarion County. The advantages of pooling community efforts and resources for the common good are unlimited and the school directors of the four districts are working toward that goal. 1 1 THE CLARIONETTE
