Boord Exponds School Progroms The Board of Education for the Garland independent School District is composed of seven members elected for three year terms. The members are unpaid and devote their service of Garland's rapidly growing schools. This board represents a cross section of the population in the district. The enrollment count for the 1968 school year showed a total of 19,130 pupils. This is a gain of 1,222 over the number enrolled the previous year. There are 830 pro- fessional staff members and 357 auxiliary employees. The board strives to provide adequate school facilities and encour- age excellence in the instructional program to meet growth needs of the community and the school population, Mr. Glen B. Couch, superintendent, visited Lubbock schools this year to observe new ideas in high school construction and to study audio-visual education innovations in the library learning center set up in an elementary school. The board is dedicated to the task of continually seeking out the most appropriate means of successfully meeting the many unique problems related to a growing school system.
