Riggs and USCO proposes open-school
Masonic news
BY HENRY HEDGEPATH
project to Southside community
A community-school project that would make more use of public school buildings and add cohesiveness to the community was proposed and challenged to the parent, teachers, and school officals of district No. 5, at Manual High School last, week. Speaking at a meeting cosponsored by the United Southside Community Organization (USCO), Jim Riggs, vice-presi-dent of school board and district No. 5 representative of the Southside, told a group of concern Southside citizens that if several areas of the community is interested in the proposed opeti-school project it could be initiated. He added
that other districts are also considering the project. If accepted, the proposed project would give the community, after school, access to the school buildings and its facilities for learning and recreation purposes and any other means the community wish to use the buildings for. Riggs believe this would bring the community closer together and motivate parents interest in the schools. Although it is not sure how the project would be funded, Riggs said a minimum charge would come from the community and hopefully, contributions from businesses and organizations.
. William Brooks, neighborhood coordinator of USCO, said that depending on the feedback from the public and the School Board Council it remains to be seen as to when the proposed project will be initiated. Riggs and USCO hope to cal^ another meeting before the end of the school year concerning the open-school project.
