Dr. Theo Norby
Here to Look Over
Proposed Sites
Dr. Theo Norby, Commissioner
of Education arrived here yester
day at the invitation of the Cham
ber of Commerce and looked over
the proposed sites for the new
vocational school which was ap
proved by voters last month.
Last evening Mr. Norby met
with the Vocational School Steer
ing Committee at which time the
Reasons for having the school in
Nome were presented him. The
location will be made by the State
Board of Education by recom
mendation to the legislature and
to Gov. Wm. Egan.
Some ideas were expressed in
relation to the kind of school it
should be and what its curriculum
should contain, however, no posi
tive thinking has been done along
these lines as yet. One thing was
made clear that unlike Mt. Edge
cumbe, the school is open to all
students both white and native.
There was also a feeling ex
pressed that students would have
a rounded course of student acti
vities along with their chosen
vocation.

Nome School Board io
Meet Twice Monthly
At its regular monthly meeting
held last night the Nome School
Board voted to meet regularly
twice monthly beginning in Jan.
1961.
The regular meetings will be
held on the second and fourth
Tuesday of each month at 7:30
p. m. All regular meetings are
open to the public. It is felt that
rapidly expanding school pro
gram, with its ensuing problems,
demands greater time and con
sideration which one regular meet
ing per month does not permit. i
The city’s request that the board
share equally in the purchase of
the Mulch property north of the
school plant was unanimously ap
proved and $3,398.42 was allocated
for this purpose.
The 1961-61 budget has been
finalized and approved by the
board and will be presented to the
city for approval at a special joint
meeting 2:00 o’clock Sunday, Dec.
18, at the school multi-purpose
room. In past years budgets were
submitted late in the spring. A
change in the law by the last
legislature now requires that the
final budget be deposited in
Juneau on or before Jan. 1 each
year.
