History of Consolidation The subject of consolidation had been an unimportant topic in small conversation for about ten years, Gradually it grew and became a subject for serious consideration. At the request of Mr. Harvey Swartz, the board members of the seven Southern York County School Districts convened in the spring of 1946 at Glen Rock to discuss the problem. The districts concerned were these seven: Codorus Township, Glen Rock, New Freedom, Railroad, Stewartstown, and Shrewsbury boroughs, and Shrewsbury Township. However Stewartstown felt that she was attached to the southeastern section of the county and consequently resigned from our group. Officers were elected for a four year term. Often their meetings began early in the evening and continued till early in the morning. Every topic was thoroughly debated before any action was taken. This project was an entirely new kind of venture. Never before was this type jointure used in this state. There was no precedent example to follow. Prodeedures were eagerly observed by school districts in ours and other states and by our State Department of Education. Mr. Harry W. Shank, Assistant County Superintendent of Schools, has given his valuable assistance in helping forward this school. Following are some major decisions: --In 1950 it was agreed to operate grades 1 to I2 jointly instead of 7 to I2 as was previously planned. --Present site was chosen primarily because of it's beauty and it's central location of student population. The grounds were purchased from Mr. T. C. Coleman, Mr. Samuel Sweitzer, Mr. Harry Warner and Mr. William Ziegler. --Decided upon financing of building by having each district contribute on the bases of it's assessed valuation. --Concluded that the four school structures QCodorus Township Glen Rock, New Freedom, and Shrewsbury High School buildingsj were to house the first six grades. --All expenses other than capital outlay were to be pro-rated to districts on the basis of daily school membership of the students from esch district. --Engaged Buchart Engineering Co. to draw up plans for the building. --All activities were speeded up in 1950 and new committees were appointed. --Spencer Wareheim as Joint Board Attorney and Saul, Hewing, and Saul as bond counsel were engaged. --Decided to form a Municipal Authority which was selected by the Boards of Supervisors of the Townships and the Borough Councils of the four Boroughs. --Opened bids for construction on September 7, 1950 and accepted following: General Construction, I. Reindollar and Song Heating Contractor, John L. Thomasg Plumbing Contractor, C. C. Kothcampand Song Electrical Contractor, Swam Electric Co. Inc.:We1l-digging Contractor, A. C. Rider. --On July 1, 1952 the districts went into joint operation. --The teaching staff was picked in the Spring of 1951. ' Carl Caskey --The transportation route was set up. --Mrs. Dorothy Caskey was given the contract which called for running six buses. --In November 1951 three more buses were added to the transportation system. --Bids were opened for the furnishings and equipment and in July contracts were awarded to about 30 different companies. --School commenced September IO, 1951. On February 18, 1952, Junior and Senior High moved into the new Susuqhennock building.
