Assistant Principal George Scarbrough District 281 Promotes New Educational Ideas Principal Lyndon Ulrich Administrators of District 281 co-or- dinated their educational ideas and es- tablished able leadership. Each day 2,450 students received an education at Cooper High School, one of twenty-four schools in the District. Because of ex- panding population, more educational facilities were needed. In November voters passed an 800,000 dollar bond that will provide funds for additions to two schools in the District. A new adminis- tration building, which will be comple- ted before the next school year, is being constructed.
