Grass Valley Makes Summer School Plans Despite one set back, Grass Valley Elementary School Board this week continued to make plans to conduct a summer school session this summer. The setback was in the form of a legal ruling that the district would be unable to conduct seventh and eighth grade classes in its summer program. Board members had expressed the feeling that there had been more interest shown in seventh and eighth grade programs than in any other grades. Thestate department of educa -. tion ruled the district could only conduct summer classes for grades it had during the regular session. The seventh and eighth grade classes in Grass Valley attend Nevada Union Junior High School.

The board backed the move in a strong resolution several weeks ago, Monday night the trustees directed Bond: to attend the Transportation Pool Committee meéting tonight with Trustee Harrel Am mon in an effort to get the highschool and Nevada City districts to agree to the move.
