Education ’77
may be permanent
The board of directors of
Education ’77, a group pushing
Tuesday’s school bond issue, is
thinking about making their
organization permanent.
Members have been working
to inform the voters of the
school system’s needs but their
goal is quality education, ac
cording to Mrs. Jean Boggs.
“We feel that if Education ’77
is continued, it will give the
citizens a chance to become
more involved in our school
system, not only in the
development of the new high
school and other improvements
contained in the bond
referendum, but in other areas
of education,” she explained.
She defined quality education
as a combination of several
factors — proper facilities and
equipment, superior teachers
and administrators, parental
involvement, a fair and sound
school policy and community
concern.
At a public meeting sponsored
by Education ’77 Thursday
night at the library, moderator
Bart Searcy said the quality of
the school system is one of the
first things asked about by

industrial prospects.
Os around 50 prospects who
looked over Spalding County
last year, only 5 located here,
Searcy said.
He pointed out that the tax
base broadens as the business
community grows, therefore
reducing each taxpayer’s share
of the tax.
Mrs. Yvonne Langford,
school board member, and Tom
Jones, assistant superin
tendent, discussed the role
facilities play in building a good
faculty and strong curriculum.
Griffin High School cannot
offer certain advanced science
courses because there are no
labs in which to teach them,
Jones said.
The biology lab has no run
ning water. The chemistry lab
is not properly ventilated,
therefore, some types of experi
ments cannot safely be con
ducted and must be omitted
from the course, he said.
Each year’s delay before a
new high school is built costs the
community not only dollars and
cents, but quality teachers,
Jones continued.
He told of a well qualified
math teacher the system lost
last year. She would not accept
a position here because the
system could not offer her a
classroom of her own. She went
with another school system
instead, Jones said.
Os 187 school systems in
Georgia, Spalding ranks 140 in
the amount spent per pupil or it
spends less than 147 others in
the state, Searcy said.
Each delay in constructing a
new school increases the ex
pense. During the three years
since the last referendum, costs
have escalated by some $2-
million, Searcy said.
“We are not trying to un
dermine the school board and
administration, but to work and
communicate with them and the
citizens of Spalding County.
“We all want quality
education for our children. The
more involved we became in the
process, the better chance we
have of obtaining the finest
education available,” Mrs.
Boggs said.
Approximately 20 people
attended last night’s meeting.
Governments
must relocate
poor families
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Lo
cal governments must face the
problem of poor families dis
placed by preservation of his
toric buildings instead of wait
ing for a national movement to
do something, the president of
the National Trust for Historic
Preservation said Thursday.
James Biddle of Washington,.
D.C., told about 200 pre
servationists and planners here
for a national conference on
displacement of poor families
from inner city neighborhoods
that his organization is “com
mitted to helping conservation
of neighborhoods whenever and
wherever we can...”
But, he added, ”We should not
be expected to do it all.”
