Nome School Board
Asserts Gym Change In
Planning Stage Only
Hay Tveter of the Nome School
Board reports the follcrwing activ
ity of the board.
The Nome School Board is pres
ently making tentative plans for
enlarging classroom space and
facilities. Sketches and sugges
tions for a proposed building pro
gram have been presented to Ju
neau for action and much civic
interest has been evidenced local
ly.
Plans provide for converting
the present gymnasium into nine
rooms, seven of which are outside
classrooms. This is to be construc
ted during this summer, if pos
sible.
in anotner year, it is nopea tnat
a new gymnasium could be fi
nanced and built which would be
more adequate than the present
one and be separate from the pres
ent school plant to provide safety
from the fire hazard now existing.
It would also establish for the
community a far more adequate
civic meeting place.
It is the desire of the School
Board to stress that the nature of
present planning is absolutely em
brionic—no construction may be
authorized without much prelim
inary planning.
It is hoped that joint meetings
of the City Council and the School
Board may be held in the near
future to consider the matter.
Within the last eight years, en
rollment in the Nome School sys
tem has grown from 140 to 386,
during which time only one tem
porary three-room structure has
been added to its facilities. Plans
to expand are imperative.
