School District One has received state- wide and national recognition. Assis- tance from the district has been re- quested for local and federal proiects. Superintendent Robert D. Morrow, along with his staff, worked closely with the school board in striving for more adequate facilities for faculty and stu- dents. The Board of Education faced such is- sues as financing the schools and keep- ing the curriculum up to date. Attempt- ing to eliminate double sessions, with an enrollment of approximately 50,000 stu- dents, was also a maior problem. Each of the five school board mem- bers was elected for a five-year term with one person up for re-election each year. Board meetings, open to the pub- lic, were held monthly for frank dis- cussions on current problems. Palo Verde's organization, the Parent- Faculty Group, contributed many new and constructive ideas for the progress and advancement of Tucson schools. Mr. Alan Hawthorne, Mr. Elbert Brooks, Dr. Robert served as School Board administrators. The staff's Morrow, Dr. Thomas Lee and Mr. Hugh Summers main iob was to keep the schools running.
