en Ng cs ee a a pe ee Er spend ta Sant tnhreericeeonrep tiniest onic yin ne ten te 1G..The Nugget..November 9, 1966 Crowded Conditions Grass Valley will Build Two Schools (Cont. froii Page 1) sites. The current housing shortage is a product partly of the steadily growing’ enrollement and the sudden loss of three prospective school housing facilities. First, plans to house seventh and eighth graders in a portion of the old Grass Valley High School were thrown out when the state determined that the old portion of the building was unsafe foroccupancy. The district then hired a structural engineer to see what it would take to bring the Grant and Washington Schools up structrual standards required by the Field Act for school safety. He reported it would be more economical to build new structures than to remodel the existing buildings. So the district went on double sessions and rented two portable classrooms and remodeled portions of the Hennessy School to house the students. The first phase of the new building program will end the situation of double sessions, but only temporarily, The second phase, now scheduled to meet needs of kindergarten through fifth grade until 1972 ‘will include 22 new classrooms. This second phase program including site, building and site work and furniture and roximately $826, 000. Under the present assesed valuation of the district, the board by law could only authorize a bond issue of approximately $1 million. There was some discussion by the board about asking for voter authorization to sell $2 million in bonds. The plan would be to sell additional bonds as assessed valuation increased, but it appears now that the district will now go foran issue of about $1.3 million. Figures presented to the citigens committee last week indicate that to finance phase 1 would raise local taxes 40 cents per $100 of assessed valuation and this would be amortized overa 20 year period with the tax decreasing yearly as the indebtedness decreases. According to school officials,a$10,000 home Hie assessed at $2,500 wouldpay $10 per year for bond retirement, a $15,000 home assessed at $3, 750 would pay $15, a $20, 000 home at $5, 000 assessed valuation would pay $20 anda $30, 000 home assessedat $7,500 would pay $30 per year. Faced with a steadily increasing enrollment and other avenues of. § housing the students cut off, the board of trustees is now firmly comitted to the building program and is going ahead with negotiations to secure the Gilmore Field site for the two phase construction program, New Editor Takes Over At The Nugget (Cont. from Page 1) Affairs.
