They have just completed an addition to the high school which cost $605,000, and are planning a new seven-room addition to the John Beck elementary school which is expected to cost about $365,000. Bids will be called for about April 15. These two projects come to $970,000. A little further in the future is the proposed 20-roo-m elementary school at Kissel Hill, for which ¡school officials won’t yet make a guess, even an “educated" one, at the cost. Besides the 20 classrooms, it will include a kitchen, dining room, health and office suite, all-purpose room which will double as auditorium anid gymnasium, a library, and a special room for county teachers, such as the county psychologist. -Bids Will be asked in June, and the target date for completion is August, 1966.
