Year of Crisis Faces A. .S. Faced with heavier enrollments and a shortage of funds the Albuquerque Public Schools under the direction of the Board of Education and Superintendent Robert Chis- holm had enormous problems to undertake this year. The board called for a special election in December to place a surtax on county in- comes to help for a temporary solution to the problems. Also many plans were made for the regu- lar session of the legislature which it was hoped would help solve many of the prob- lems. A new high school for the northeast heights was funded from a bond issue last year and is to be opened for the 1970 school year. Many other additions and im- provements were made for other schools in the city. SUPERINTENDENT ROBERT CHISHOLM
