The existing facility at Walkerton Hgh School dot not lend itself to accommodations of a three year comprehensive junior high school both because of the small number of usable • lass»o nns and because of the lack of adequate special areas such as shops, home economics, library, and science. This facility is adaptable however, to the exploratory program that is desirable in the modern junior high school.

The modern comprehensive senior high school program olfera opportunities for specialized studies for pupils in grades 9 thru 12. Consequently, highly trained and skilled subject matter specialists. are needed as teachers, and adequate jqiecial facilities are needed An enrollment appreciably less than 400 pupils would not enable the personnel and facilities to be utilized efficiently. Provision of sepajate time year junior and senior high schools would require duplication of costly facilities. For expedient development of the instructional program for the new high school, it would be advisable to consolidate the existing two senior high schools one year in advance of occupancy of the new high school. Admittedly, this will result in overcrowding and rigid scheduling, but a better instructional program should result from this action. f. The Walkerton Senior High School be used for pupils in gtades seven and eight. Consideration should be given to renovation of all areas to meet minimum standards where possible. g. As soon as possible after the n«tw facility is constructed, the Tyner plant should be renovated to obtain suitable facilities to house one class each of kindergarten through grade six plus music and art. physical education, and administrative areas. Archito tural services should be utilized to renovate the present structure in such a manner as to obtain a desirable educational environment for the boys and girls of the area to be seived. h The proposed construction schedule is as follows: PROJECT — Construct high school — start planning imediately Renovation of Tyner Building OCCUPANCY DATE — 1967-68 1968-69 ESTIMATED COST — $1,250,000

$125,000 Finance In relation to school finance, it is recommended that: a. Additional revenue be budgeted for instructional purposes as recommended elsewhere in this stu4y. b. The suggested financing plan described elsewhere in this study be followed. The new construction would be financed thru use of a non-profit school building corporation, accumulated funds, and state grants. The renova’ion of the Tyner plant could be financed by issuance of general obligation bonds. No increase in taxes would be required if this plan were followed. c. The corrections of the defects in the Walkerton High S» hool be financed from current operating funds. d. Present indebtedness be repaid out of state funds. S<4iool Transportation Tn relation to school bus transportation. it is recommended that: a. The Board of School Trustees provide for the establishment of policies which would govern the operational aspects of the transportation system. Said policies should be subject to periodic review. b. A systematic method of cost accounting be used in order that detailed cost studies of wh individual route can be readily’ obtained. c. Provision be made for centralized purchasing of supplies and equipment such as gasoline, oil. tiros, and other needed items. d. Routing of buses and time schedules be thoroughly studied so that the greatest number of children may be transported with the minimum number of buses. (This aspect of the study will be carried out at a later date.)
