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. While plans are still in the formative stage the summer pro. gram will start this June 21 and run through July 23. Students in grades 1-5 this term will be eligible to attend this summer. Superintendent -Principal Vernon Bond told the board that slips — had been sent home to parents urging them toregister their children for the full five week program. A survey indicated there are 406 students already interested in the program.
