MEETING OF JULY 1, 19^6 (Continued) Survey of Comparable | Wages, City and County j

A summary of a survey of comparable wages of City, County, and School Maintenance Employees was submitted by the Superintendent for the information of the Board. This summary showed that in most cases the salaries of school board maintenance men were not equal to those paid City and County employees.

Approval of ' Mr. Al Cook-, Chairman of the Taft Stadium Board, and Mr. Chas'. S. Wallace, Business Manager, were present in support of. the request of 0. D. and Ray Midget i Lavely, known nationally as the "Lavely Racing Promotion," to stage midget Races at auto racing programs in the Taft Stadium. Their proposal was as follows: Taft Stadium June 19, 19^6 Requested | i

"Mr. Charles Wallace Taft Stadium Manager Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Dear Mr. Wallace: "0. D. and Ray Lavely, a father and son partnership,known nationally as the "Lavely Racing Promotions," whose business address is 6503 Arnot, Houston 7> Texas, hereby submit the following proposal to the members of the controling board of the Taft Stadium, located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma: "The 'Lavely Racing Promotions" desire to stage midget auto racing programs in the Taft Stadium. We propose to present a minimum of one show per week during a minimum season of six months per year, it being understood that it would be impossible to stage the above minimum requirements duringâ€˘â€™1946 as the year is too far advanced. It is also understood that the accomplishment of the above can be made impossible by unfavorable weather conditions. We agree to not stage programs on dates conflicting with the regular football schedule, but would have to have one particular night, such as Monday, reserved for our weekly presentations. !â–

j j I \ |

"In consideration of rental for the stadium, sufficient parking space, janitor service, electricity and public address facilities, we are willing to pay ten percent (10$) of the net gate receipts after Federal and State admission taxas have been deducted. Should that stadium be filled, this amount would approximate two thousand dollars ($2,000.00). It of course is understood that the lessor's representative would be requested to check all tickets before and after each race meet. We expect to revenue from concession sales other than those considered to come under the heading of 'program sales' such as: Programs, racing papers, magazines, books and other items of like nature.

"To prepare the stadium for racing, the 'Lavely Racing Promotions' will accept the responsibility, financial and otherwise, of installing a special racing strip, crash wall, additional lighting facilities and other appurtenances necessary. j

| I |

| j j

"We contend that these changes and additional will in no wg.y prevent the staging of any events customarily held in the stadium during the past, or harm its appearance. Rather, these expenditures should increase the value of an already find plant and add conveniences and improvements heretofore absent. "The changes will consist of widening the turns to a maximum of forty-five (45) feet and installing a special clay racing strip, banked approximately one (1) foot on the outer edge. The banking would be done in such a manner as to not interfere with the staging of track events and the surface will be suitable for the foundation for the erection of portable bleachers for other events, such as football games. The crash wall, featuring two by ten inch planks on eight by eight inch posts and covered by diagonal black and white stripe paint, will be installed inside of the existing chain-and-link fence and is necessary to prevent a car or cars from leaving the racing surface in the event of an accident. Electrical changes include the installation of one pole outside the trace in each turn, necessary only if the present light will not sufficiently Illuminate the curves. One pole would be stationed directly behind the score board, the other would be a shorter pole on the hill behind the curved seats in the south end. .. The only other change would be the adjusting of the existing lights so that they focus properly on the racing strip. During football season, we would agree to adjust these lights for each race meet and readjust them for the following game.

"In closing, we might add that our files on our career are open to the Board for inspection and that we are sure these documents will prove that the two most experienced men in the midget auto racing promotional field are seeking entrance to this fine plant. We hope that permission will be granted and that we may present auto racing' on its highest plane in Taft Stadium for many years to come. However, should the contract be terminated after thirty

5 events have been staged., we agree to return the stadium to the lessors in the same condition as we found it, reasonable wear and tear excepted, if it is desired.

"Hoping this proposal will be accepted and passed upon favorably, we are

"Yours truly, LAVELY RACING PROMOTIONS (Signed) 0. D. Lavely Ray Lavely Mr. Cook stated that while this program deviated from the practice of the Board, in view of the need for funds for further development of the stadium and the probability of netting $25,000.00 to $30,000.00. The proposal of the Lavely Racing Promotions had been approved by. all of the members of the Taft Stadium Board except Mr. J. B. Greene who was not present at the meeting in which the proposal was approved.

Midget Auto Racing Approved bj Taft Stadium Board

After full discussion, Mr. Williams moved that this matter be left to the Taft Stadium Board, Mr. Richardson seconded the motion which was declared to have carried.

Left to Stadium Board

Mr. Cook took this opportunity to recommend again that land from the Northwest High School site be dedicated to the use of Taft Stadium Board for the purpose of development, and used during games for parking. The minimum amount needed Mr. Cook said was twelve acres. No action was taken by the Board on this recommendation.

Request to Dedicate Land from NW High Sit to Stadium

Report was made that the Business Manager, with the assistance of Mr. 0. D. Marshall, property clerk in the Business Office, had formulated a schedule for the depreciation value of movable contents of school buildings, which had been presented to the Insurer's Exchange. A letter from the chairman; Mr. Dave R. McKown, stated that the proposed system of maintenance of j "contents Inventory had been discussed with the School's Insurance Committee' and with the. adjustors and the proposed schedule had met the requirements of j an inventory/movable contents and a system of evaluation that, in event of a ! loss, the adjustors would have something tangible to work from. In fact,. j Mr. McKown said, Mr. G:eorgeJâ€™>-splan really amounted to an adjustment of losses j in advance and he was to be complimented most highly on this excellent piece i of work.

Report on Schedule of Movable Contents oi School Buildings

A letter was presented from The Bankers Trust Company urging that the date of sale of the $2,55Â°,000 bonds be advanced to a more opportune time, as the market had been unable to absorb all of the local issues during the past six months. No action was taken on this request.

"Mr. N. L. G-eorge, Clerk Board of Education LOO North Walnut Avenue Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

"Dear Sir:

j j

"As you know, the clock equipment now located in Harding Junior High School, i Roosevelt Junior High School and Webster Junior High School is the old, I straight impulse system. This means that the system does not have the automatic correction features.

"The new system to be installed is a supervising system which automatically supervises and corrects the time in case of any current interruptions. In most cases when a supervising system is used, it is necessary to have three wires from the master control to each secondary clock unit. Inasmuch as these present systems now have two wires, we can save you considerable expense by having our Duplex Regulating System which will supervise over the same two wires. To have this system it would increase the price of your purchase order for all clock equipment This would take care of the three schools mentioned above.

Minutes Approved

A report was submitted by Mr. John W. Prigmore, Auditor, directing the attention of the Board to attached schedules of 1945-46 General and Separate School Revenues Estimated and Collected during the last fiscal year, together with a Statement of Probable Income from all sources during' the Fiscal Year 1946-47, representing only what in Mr. Prigmore’s judgment might be reasonably expected to be received from such sources during the current fiscal year. Based on such Estimates of Probable Income for 1946-47 there should become available for General Fund Expenditures in 1946-47 an amount which would be $62,57^-00 in excess of 1945-46 actual expenditures; and for the Separate School Revenues $10,653.02 less than the actual Separate School Expenditures for 1945-46.

Report of Auditor

Mr. Prigmore made the following recommendation:

*In order to have a constructive plan of Budget operation for 1946-47 it will be necessary for the Board of Education to direct that the General Fund Budget voted for this year, be reduced item by item, until its total is reduced from $3,5^9,3^4.00 to $3,439,270.00 and a reduction in the Separate School Budget from $357,33^-94 to $304,732.63, thereby bringing each Budget within the amount of Estimated Probable Revenues.

i 1946-47 i Budget ‘ Reductions Recommendec

“When this is done you will have a Tentative Operating Budget for the year, based on the plan of supplementing all estimated surplus accumulations as they accrue, and the administrative officials should then be directed to plan and to keep their expenditure program for the year well within the approved figure in the Tentative Budget.* After full discussion Mr. Williams moved that the administrative officials be directed to reduce the General Budget item by item to $3,439,270.00 and the Separate Fund Budget similarly to $304,732.63, as recommended by Mr. Prigmore.

i; Employment| Mr. Williams moved that the Board employ Dr. Thomas H. Allen, Jr., as Associate Coordinator of Instruction on a salary basis of $4,300.00 for the Not calendar year, as recommended by the Superintendent. Mr. Richardson secondApproved ed the motion. Upon roll call the vote was as follows: Ayes: Mr. Richardson and Mr. Williams; no: Mr. Hisel. Under the rule requiring a majority vote of all members of the Board for the election of any teacher or employee, the motion was declared to have lost.

MEETING OF AUGUST 5, 19*1-6 (Continued) Mr. Prigmore reported that he had filed a protest with the State Board of Equalization against any ratio changes in tax valuations that would fail to give Oklahoma City Schools their full pro rata share of the basic aid. This protest, Mr. Prigmore said, would be considered with other protests on August l^th. The protest was only for the purpose of protecting the school district rights for a hearing before the State Board of Equalization, since it now appears that the State Tax Commission ratio will be fixed at a figure as high or higher than last yearâ€™s and if such is the case will not reduce the revenues of the district.

Report of Auditor on Protest Filed With State Boagd of Equalization

Mr. Williams moved that the Board adjourn until Wednesday, August 7> 19*1-6, at one-thirty oâ€™clock P. M. -Mr. Richardson seconded the motion which was declared to have carried.

Mr. Vance has an option contract on the land on which he is to start building houses within the next two weeks. Mr. Vance will rent the ground size 140' x 266* for $1,000.00 per year.

Action on Creston Hills Deferred

Letter from Dr. Hart Received and Ordered Filed

Dear Mr. George: "I have spent some time on two different occasions studying the proposed alterations and revisions of the separate schools. I have been somewhat handicapped in the details of my study by not having either the full floor plans of the present building or a vivid mental, picture of the buildings themselves in mind. The plans do, however, seem to incorporate all of the changes that we discussed when I was there and that we ennumerated in our memorandum. I therefore suggest that the architects be authorized to proceed with the further development of the projected changes, alterations, additions, etc., and when the plans are further along that we have the privilege of having another look at them. "The plans are going forward by the same airmail as this letter.

"Very sincerely yours, (Signed) Frank W. Hart Staff Member

Gentlemen: 124531246

The original Budget allocations for the Fiscal year 1945-46 were as follows:

$2,322,274.16

$263,124.54

552,972.19

INSTRUCTIONAL SALARIES

The original appropriation for this year provided for the estimated minimum requirements for each account for the year, with the exception of Instructional Salaries, Account No. 1-1

The requirements for the year in this account, based on salary scale and authorized personnel as scheduled by Administrative Offices is as follows:

MEETING 0F.^AUGUSTm2ÂŁ,^1946. ,( -0on.tinued_) Report of Auditor on 1946-47 Budget

Original budget provisions for the year 1946-47 are as follows:

373,605.15 $

NONE

34,515.00 $ 38,364.27

Subject to slight adjustment in determination of County Transfer Fees.

The following factors must be considered in relation with the above analysis of accounts. iI First: That the full amount of the maximum Revenue Estimated to June 20, 1947 must be collected and available for supplemental appropriation by that date.

Second: That the drastically reduced appropriations for all accounts other than salaries will be found sufficient to meet such needs and that no emergency arises requiring additional amounts to be appropriated. Third: That all Instructional Salary requirements be closely restricted to the approved scale and personnel, as authorized in the detailed schedules supporting the Budget requests.

Any major deviation in any one of the above will cause a deficiency in appropriations to meet General Fund Instructional salaries and an increase in the Separate School deficiency in this account. CONTRACTS

In order to provide for the above contingencies all Instructional contracts are to carry a clause "Subject to available appropriations" and a provision for a pro rata reduction in payments, if found necessary.

General Fund.teachers1 contracts are to be met in ten payments, each to be 10% of annual contract, less any necessary pro rata reduction.-

Separate School teachers' contracts, because of the deficit in estimated availability of funds are to be met in ten payments of 9% each, less any necessary pro rata deduction. On this schedule the Separate Schools ninth payment (81% of full scale contract) should be met at the close of school on May 31, 1947 and the tenth payment would pro rate any available funds to all contract personnel. By this means all of the Separate School appropriations for the entire year are to be used so far as they are available to meet contract schedule obligations, but the actual monthly payment plan is so arranged that the actual pro rata reduction will be spread over the entire term rather then from the last payment alone.

A letter from V. G. Thompson, Consulting City Engineer, was presented concerning proposed paving of Altadena Avenue, Eubanks to North West ?6 Street, along the east side of the Sequoyah School ground. A blueprint was attached showing the lack of street right-of-way. It was Mr. Thompson's understanding that the Board of Education was agreeable to dedicating the east 25-feet of its property for street right-of-way; and it would be necessary to obtain additional right-of-way from the owner of the North 1/2 of Block 6, West Point Addition. As to obtaining the right-of-way in addition to that from the school, Mr. Thompson said, it would be up to the City to successfully negotiate with the owner or exercise its right of eminent domain.

[ j j ! ti

The Central Office was instructed to inform Mr. Thompson that the Board of Education had already dedicated 25 feet on the east of the Sequoyah School property for street purposes and would not oppose the paving if the City would secure the land needed for a street of the desired width.

i October 13, 1946 j Oklahoma City Board Education I "Dear Sirs:

As owner of lot one (1) in block ten (10) Ridgecrest addition, this is to inform you that I have had my lot surveyed and find that your school extends past the surveyed line of my lot, also according to the Information I have received the said school is built on ground bought by the city to be used exclusively to the building of Grand Boulevard, therefore, this is to inform you that I expect you to move said building before thirty days from this date at which time I intend to take legal action.

Letter in Regard to Adams School Siti Received and Filed

Yours truly, George Heid"

i Following discussion and question as to the extent of previous annexations | Prigmore from contiguous districts to the Oklahoma City School District, Mr. Pearson I to Prepare moved that Mr. Prigmore be requested to check the legal school district Map of lines and prepare a map showing the boundaries of the entire Oklahoma City School | School District as constituted at the present time. The motion was seconded District ! by Mr. Williams and carried. Sj I | A letter from Oklahoma City Park Department regarding Adams Site was also I Letter froi i presented as follows: | Park Dej partment j October 25, 1946 j in Regard ! to Adams j "Mr. N. L.

Subject:

School on Northwest 27th Street and Grand Boulevard

The other day, I received a telephone call from your secretary, Mrs. Ramee, seeking the following Information: You wanted to know if your building extended beyond our property line. This was surveyed this morning and we find your building extends six inches off city property on one corner and three feet on another. This extends onto Lot 1, Block 10, Ridgecrest sf Addition. I I j j

i t

Mr. Turner Van Nort, our engineer, warned your contractor when the grading work was being done on this location, but was assured by a man from the Board of Education that this was all right; he was told, also, by the people living in the house on this lot that their land did not extend east of a i sewer line. I The City's title to the Grand Boulevard right-of-way does contain a

j reverter clause. We own this land by quit claim. The reverter clause I states, "For purposes of boulevard only, and to revert to the first parties or their assigns if used for any other purposes, or if not developed and not used as a boulevard within three years from date hereof."

Judge Jeffrey, Municipal Counselor, feels that you have nothing to worry Letter about because Grand Boulevard can still be used as a right-of-way; it Park Department | retains its landscaping, and is being leased as an emergency measure to i the Board of Education, and is for only a short term, and the building located upon it is of a temporary nature. i s

Yours very truly,

Mr. Tom Rucker, Promotion Director of W.K.Y., appeared before the Board and requested that the schools be dismissed on November 25, 194-6 for the parade, celebrating the presentation of the opera "Oklahoma1* scheduled for appearance in Oklahoma City the week of that date. Various organizations and colleges from over the state would be represented in a parade and bands from all of the city schools would participate in a pageant of the State of Oklahoma. After discussion of the advisability of dismissal of school for a full or a half day holiday, Mr. Richardson moved that in view of the fact that Oklahoma City is host to the celebration depicting the history of Oklahoma and in order that the school children might witness and participate in the pageant, the request be granted and the schools be dismissed at noon, on November 25, 194-6, and if necessary the school bands be excused earlier. Mr. Pearson seconded the motion which was declared to have carried.

As requested by the Board at the previous meeting, Mr. Prigmore presented a map of the school district as constituted at the present time, showing the Oklahoma City limits and the territory that had been brought into the City and not into the school district. The Martindale Addition and a part of the Ridgecrest Addition had been taken into the city by ordinance, from the Putnam City District, between 193$ and 1944, and the taxes from these additions subsequently had been assessed and paid to the Oklahoma City School District. Mr. Lybrand again told the Board that under State legislation and a recent court decision annexation of territory to the city does not bring that area into the School District. It was suggested by Mr. Lybrand that a letter be written to the County Assessor advising him that the properties in question should not be assessed in the Oklahoma City School District in 1947, and that the Board of Education will not educate children from those districts. Attention was also called to the location of the Adams Neighborhood Primary School at North West 26th Street, Just west of Grand Boulevard, in the RidgecreBt Addition which was annexed to Oklahoma City in 1941.

Map of School Districts Presented by Mr. Prigmore

The question of attendance of children from Will Rogers Field at Carey or Columbus Schools was discussed, Mr. Lybrand stating that the Board could not legally permit these children to attend school in the Oklahoma City District without paying tuition.

Attendance of Pupils at Carey and Columbus Schools Boundaries to Apply to Present Enrollment

Mr. Richardson moved that, since the question had come up concerning school district boundaries and the Board now has a map showing the exact boundaries of the Oklahoma City School District, these boundaries apply to the present enrollment and any children residing outside of these boundaries be required to pay tuition or go back to their own districts. Mr. Pearson seconded the motion which was declared to have carried.

Conference with Putnam City

It was agreed that Central Office officials would go to Putnam City for a conference with the Putnam City Superintendent concerning the boundaries and the situation at Adams School, and that a letter be written to the County Assesor as suggested by Mr. Lybrand.

In talking with Mr. Wallace, I find that the real question of the Taft Stadium Board is whether the Board of Education would make such a long-time lease with the Taft Stadium Board, as would enable the Taft Stadium Board to issue bonds. This would be a question which only the Board of Education of the City of Oklahoma City could answer.

TO: FROM: Pupils from Will Rogers Field

Dr. H. B. Bruner C. S. Wallace. N. L. George

Mr,. C. S. Wallace and the Business Manager made a trip to Will Rogers Field, Rockwood and the County Superintendent’s office. We contacted Mr. Luttrell, Manager for the Veterans at Will Rogers, and find that they have the following veterans units in process of repairing for habitation. Will Rogers Courts’ proper - 459 units, OGU 163 units, 10 units occupied by special officers, making a total of 6J2 units. If the present trend of school children continue to enroll there will be a minimum of 250 children to educate from these units. We contacted Mrs. Dowell, County Superintendent, and also, Mr. Emans of the State Department of Education, and we find that under section 305 of the 1943 school laws the State Department of Education will pay the tuition of these pupils to the Oklahoma City School District if the district out there is willing and the Oklahoma City School Board is willing.

Situation | 2. The Rockwood building situation: We contacted representatives of the at Rockwood firm, Mill and Stanford, 9°° North West 20th Street, who are building 187 School houses south of the Frisco tracks. They are striving to get these ready for occupancy by January 1, 1947. We contacted representatives of the Jenay Company, JOO Apco Tower, who will have 111 houses ready for occupancy by January 1, 19^7, a total of 298 units estimating 5/l°ths of a child per house will give approximately 150 children.

J. The representative of the Jenay Company states they have purchased ground and are going to construct, by next September 1, 200 additional houses north of Rockwood School. 4. Conclusion: a. In light of the above construction the 4 classrooms at Rockwood will be used in full by spring.

b. There will have to be either additional temporary construction or permanent construction to care for the children in this area in September, 1947-

Unfortunately, this year it has been necessary for him to assume a full teaching schedule at Capitol Hill Senior High School, conslsting of five classes running from 7:40 A. M. to 12:40 P. M. daily. This situation is due to the fact that no industrial arts substitute teaching personnel are available."

Following the presentation of the request of Mr. W. C. Haller, Principal of Capitol Hill Senior High School for permission to transfer the balance of the inactive Oklahoma City Junior College fund to the Band Uniform account. The following report was submitted:

Request of Capitol Hill High School for Transfer of Junior College Funds

November 26, 19^6 To: From: Subject:

Dr. H. B. Bruner M. J. Burr Junior College Funds - Capitol Hill Senior High School

A meeting was held with Mr. Haller, Miss Selken, Miss Long and Miss Fischl on Tuesday, November 19 to secure information relative to the Junior College Funds now in possession of Capitol Hill Senior High School.

The Junior College was organized under the auspices of the Oklahoma City | University. The University collected the tuitions and used their teachers I for instructional purposes. In 193^ "the responsibility of the Junior Collegej was assumed by the Capitol Hill Senior High School. Regular teachers | employed to teach in Capitol Hill Senior High School were given teaching assignments both in the High School and Junior College. For this service | they received two warrants, one from the Board of Education for teaching in the high school and another from the Junior -College Funds to pay for teaching classes in the Junior College. In a regular Board of- Education meeting of October 2, 1939, the following recommendation was submitted by the Superintendent and unanimously approved by the Board of Education:

"To the Board of Education: "Mr. Walter A. Lybrand, Attorney for the Board of Education, has rendered the following opinion concerning the effect of Senate Bill 123 upon the operation of our Junior College:

Report on Junior College

"This bill contemplates that a junior college shall be conducted by the Board of Education. This being so, the Board of Education should collect any tuition fee that is charged and should pay the teachers. This should not be delegated to the principals, although, of course, you can use the principals in this connection in a ministerial capacity."

"In view of the above opinion,, and after a conference with Mr. Stearley, Clerk-Business Manager of the Board, I recommend that the Board of Education pay the entire salary of the junior college teachers and supervise the collection of tuition of fees and auditing of same. Fees thus collected shall be paid to the Board of Education under the direction of the Clerk-Business Manager."

> -

The Junior College was discontinued at the end of the School year 1944-^5During this school year the teachers who taught in the Junior College did so with the understanding that they would receive additional compensation for teaching classes in the Junior College, however, no additional compensation was received.

i ! | | j

The Ledger of the Junior College carries at the present time the following accounts; General Fund, Tuition Fund, Book Room Fund and Junior College Association Fund. The Books disclose that beginning in October, 1939 and ending in August, 1944, there was a total of $9,57^.66 paid to the Board of Education. Mrs. Haney, the former School Activity Auditor, orally reports that this amount represents only a part of the tuition collected. Beginning in September, 1944, an account was set up in the ledger under the heading of "Tuition". This account at the present time has a balance of $1,122.14. The records also show that there is $5,027.9^ due the Junior College Fund from students who have not paid their tuition. It is my understanding that requests for transcripts are not being granted to students who have not paid their tuition. Several dollars have been collected recently from the delinquent list because of the fact that a number of the students have requested and are anxious to receive credits earned in the Junior College.

It is worth noting that from the very beginning of the Junior College an attempt was made by those concerned to create a fund that would be used to perpetuate the Junior College and make it an institution that would be a credit to all concerned.

The balances of the accounts at the present time are as follows: Tuition General Book Room Jr. College Ass'n. Grand Total In March, 1944, $1500.00 Capitol Hill Senior High from the general fund of Capitol Hill Senior High

was paid from the Junior College Fund to the Athletic Fund. In May, 1945, $1926.65 was spent the Junior College to purchase curtains for the School Auditorium.

[

J |

Those present at the meeting, namely Mr. Haller, Miss Long, Miss Fischl, | recommended without reservation that money now credited to the Junior j College be used to purchase band uniforms for the Capitol Hill Senior High | School. Miss Selken made no commitment as to the disposition of the fund. | She has given much of herself physically and mentally to the promotion of the: Junior College and is greatly disappointed that the institution no longer > exists. She is in hopes that some day this money can be used to further | aid the Junior College. ! j In view of the policy determined by the Board of Education in their meeting i of October 2, 1939 stated above, all tuition money belongs to the Board of I Education to be desbursed at their discretion. The ledger shows this amount | to be $1122.14. The remainder in the accounts amounting to $1253.30 could j very well be Interpreted asbelonging to the general activityfund of the | Capitol Hill Senior High School. | 5

Respectfully submitted, j Signed: M. J. Burr j Administrative Assistant & ยง Coordinator of Personnel | I Payment of Mr. Richardson moved that the $1122.14 collected for tuition, as Shown by the balance statement in the Junior College report, be paid into the Central Tuition Fees Order- Office General Fund and that the remainder in the sum of $1253be transferred to the Capitol Hill Senior High School Band Uniform Account as | ed Paid to requested, and all future collections of tuition be turned over to the j Central General Fund. - The motion was seconded by Mr. Pearson and carried.

I I ■ | Dr. Bruner suggested the following points in procedure: i ! 1. Take care of all repairs to existing buildings. \ 2. Complete modernization of present buildings. * 3. Acquire additions to sites and new sites. (These three points, Dr. Bruner said, were under way at the present time. ) 4-. Build small additions, such as 2 rooms at Nichols Hills and 4- or 6 rooms at Rockwood Schools. 5. Lay out a long range plan Britton High School was indicated as being.a first priority. I Dr. Hart said that the Board would not be able to build for some time and I the delay in building might be a blessing in disguise, and to wait until | prices stabilize would be the better part of wisdom. Dr. Hart went into | detail as to the method to be used in making a general estimate of the I number and type of rooms required, the approximate demensions and area of each type of room and the total area figured at 110.00 per square foot. Dr. Hart suggested that the Central Office prepare and bring back to the Board an abstract of present needs and recommend what should be attempted with the money available; that the architects be selected and requested to draw a pencil sketch of a plot plan showing the ultimate development, that is, work" out the design of what the Board can do now showing which part of the project will have to be completed as one unit and which part of the project can be done on a deferred plan. After further discussion the Central Office was requested to bring in a picture of present and future needs with a statement of money available.

Exhibit X 6. 10 pupils who ____live in Ridgecrest Addition. In addition to the above, the principals report 67.pupils who are living with persons other than parents or legal guardians: but have not cleared their tuition status with the Clerk Business Manager and have reported 133 other pupils with insufficient data, to classify. Exhibit 1 “We. have enough data to warrant the following statement of current practices A.

I Upon motion of Mr. Richardson, seconded by Mr. Williams, the report of the School District Treasurer for the month of December, 1946, was received and | ordered filed. The following committee of patrons of Westwood School appeared before the Board: Mrs. T. J. Hays Mrs. W. Fred Scott Mrs. A. D. Biggerstaff

Mrs. Don Denton Mrs. Frank J. Ward Mr. Don Denton

Mrs. Scott, Acting as Chairman, spoke in the interest of the request presented in the previous meeting, that is, that additional ground be acquired for the school playgrounds and to straighten the property line on the west. Attention was called to the one-story construction of the school building which occupied more ground space than a two-story building, and the need for fencing, for an auditorium and a teachers rest room. Mrs. Scott said that a committee from the City Flanning Commission would recommend to the Commission, at its next meeting, that the property adjoining the school grounds on the west not be zoned for business since the Bartholomew program had recommended that the City Park Board and the .Board of Education cooperate in acquiring the property in question for park and playground .purposes. Dr. Bruner told Mrs. Scott and the Committee that he .had conferred with Mr. R. R. Murphy, Park Superintendent,concerning this matter which' he would take up again with the Park Board.

There being no further business to come before the Board,, the President declared the Board adjourned sine die. •ft

Dear Mr. George: Several days ago, Mr. Wallace asked as if it would be possible to make a place for the parking of cars at the BroC}£ Primary School, There is already an established lot south of the clubhouse building. However, there is considerable repair that needs to be made here so that the water will drain out of this area. We will make these repairs'. At this writing, we have had a number of requests from the patrons of this school, living west of the creek that goes through this park. They are complaining that their children cannot use the footbridge we have in place, due to high water going to and.from the school. These requests have gone so far as to be presented to some of the City Councilmen. If we will furnish the labor and assume all responsibility in building this footbridge, would it be possible for the Board of Education to> furnish some of the material?

Information to The Board of Education

The following report was submitted on sewer facilities for Mark Twain and Carver Schools: Sewer Facilities Carver School

"The Business Manager contacted Mr. Ralph Lee, City Engineer, on December 3, after considerable discussion the Business Manager was directed to contact the Benham Engineering Company who are planning the sewer additions for Oklahoma City. The Benham Engineering Company reports the following points of interest: 1.

The original plans in sewer extension in Oklahoma City proposed that a sewer line follow the Rock Island track to the Cor£>j.n Park Addition. *

The Engineering Company stated that because of the increased cost the sewer line would probably stop at the city limits on Pennsylvania.

Under the proposed plan and its auxiliary lines the sewer line would be within 1000 feet of Mark Twain School and J000 feet of Sandtown School.

The size of the line would be about 10" and cost approximately $3.00 per foot installed.

If the auxiliary lines are not constructed in these areas, a sewer line would be 2000 feet to Carver School in the Sandtown area and 1000 feet to the Mark Twain School from the Rock Island tracks.

The construction of the sewer line .would be extended to Pennsylvania within the next year."

This recommendation has been followed by the principals of these two schools and children living on '■ . both sides of North West 29th Street between Pennsylvania and Swatek Park are attending school at Gatewood. "In order to validate this action and bring our school maps up to date I am recommending that this change in boundary be presented to the Board of Education for approval.

"At the same time I would like to recommend that the boundary line which divides Gatewood and Cleveland Schools between North West 25th Street and North West 29th Street be extended to JOth Street and west on JOth Street to Villa to square up the Cleveland School District. This is a part and does not involve the transfer of children from one school to-another. This recommendation was approved by Mr. Nuzum and Miss Richardson."

MEETING OF FEBRUARY 3>19^7

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION1 OF THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, MET IN REGULAR MONTHLY SESSION IN THE BOARD’ROOM, ADMINISTRATION BUILDING,

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1947, AT FOUR O’CLOCK P. M. I

PRESENT:

Ira Williams, Vice-President N. L. George, Clerk Edd L. Hisel John C. Pearson, Jr. J. Wiley Richardson

ABSENT:

James A. Sinex, President

Other officials present: Dr. H. B. Bruner, Superintendent, George H. C. Green, Treasurer, W. A. Lybrand, Attorney, John W. Prigmore, Auditor, and Flora W. Penney, Secretary. The minutes of the meeting of January 20, 19^7> were read and upon motion of Mr. Hisel, seconded by Mr. Pearson, were approved as read.

Minutes Approved

Mr. J. Hawley Wilson, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Citizens Committee Report of Citizens on Majority Schools, accompanied by Mr. Henry Browne of the Legislative Committee Committee, came before, the Board, confirming the informal action’of a . large group of committee members in a meeting with representatives of the P.T.A., the Classroom Teachers Association, the Legislative Committee of the Oklahoma City District of the Oklahoma Education Association, the Council of Administrators, and the Citizens Committee on Separate Schools. These groups had met on January 22, 19^7> Mr. W. R. Payne acting as chairman, and had endorsed the legislative program presented by Mr. Ferman Phillips, who had given a detailed report of the proposed state educational legislation sponsored by the Oklahoma Education Association and others interested in education. This program included support of an increase in basic aid from the present allocation of $7-5Q per pupil to.$20.00, and the additional five mills for majority schools, which could be applied to the increase of teachers’ salaries. It was understood that an unrestricted one mill levy, proposed for the separate schools, which would permit equalization of teachers’ salaries, while not adopted as part of the Oklahoma Education Association Program, would not be opposed, and Dr. Bruner said he would bring this matter before the Oklahoma Education Association at its next meeting. Representatives of the Executive Committee of the Negro Chamber of Commerce were present and the question of the unrestricted one mill levy was discussed. Mr. Lybrand was of the opinion that it would be necessary to submit a Constitutional Amendment to vote of the people either by Legislative Action or petition. A conference on this question was arranged between Mr. Lybrand and Mr. J. J. Bruce, Attorney, of the Separate School Committee. The following patrons of the W. J. Bryan School came before the Board: Mrs. T. E. Wilson, President of the P.T.A., Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Ruble, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Barton, and Mrs. Harry W. Clark. Mrs. Wilson speaking for the P.T.A., presented a request that Mrs. Clemont McKane who had acted a principal during the absence of Miss Edith Grove, who died on January 30, 19^7, be retained as principal of the school as the patrons felt she was the logical person to succeed Miss Grove. The Superintendent said he was not ready to make a recommendation, but would take the request under advisement and make a recommendation at the next meeting.

Committee of Patron; from W. J. Bryan School

Mr. N. J. Reding came before the Board concerning the Board’s offer of $500.00 and $600.00 per acre for land on which he had set a price of $1,000.00 and $1,150.00 per acre. Mr. Reding said he could not accept the Board's offer; that land across the street from his property had sold for $700.00 and $800.00 per acre. Mr. Hisel said he was in favor of letting the court decide, and he believed the Board would stand by the decision of the appraisers. It was suggested that Mr. Reding, Mr. Lybrand and members of the Board be present when appraisers are selected, and that Mr. Reding confer with Mr. Lybrand concerning condemnation proceedings.

I Resolution ! on Death j of Edith Grove

Miss Edith. Grove The Board of Education has learned with deep regret of the death of Miss Edith Grove, which occured on. Thursday, January JO, 1947, after an illness of several months.

Miss Grove served in the Oklahoma City School System from 191°> first as a teachers, and from 1935, as Principal of the William Jennings Bryan School. She was a faithful and efficient teacher and proved herself to be an able administrator in her work with handicapped children, loyal and thoughtfully.considerate in her dealings with her associates, but never compromising her own ideas of right and justice. BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Education of the City of Oklahoma, State of Oklahoma, that in the death of Miss Grove the Oklahoma City School District has lost one of its most useful and worthy employees; and.that sincere appreciation of the many years of valuable service rendered the Oklahoma City Schools and the community be and is hereby expressed, with the assurance to the members of the bereaved family and.the instructional staff of the William Jennings Bryan School that the Board of Education and the officials share their loss and extend their profound sympathy.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution be made a part of the records of the Board of Education and that a copy be transmitted to the family of Miss Grove.

The following resolution adopted by the elementary principals was received and ordered filed:

RESOLUTION Miss Edith Grove The principals of the elementary schools of Oklahoma City sense keenly the loss sustained by the death.of Edith Grove, which occurred on January JO, 19^+7• In her.fifteen years of service as principal of the William Jennings Bryan School for Crippled Children, her contribution to the growth and development of these less fortunate boys and girls demands that we give consideration to these values..

Resolution | on Death of Edith Grove Adopted by Elementary Principals

Some of the. problems which for them she met and solved were: No speech because of never having heard. Defective language from other causes, such as malformations and deficiencies as were responsive to surgery. Urgencies from spastic paralysis.

But the great contribution was in finding the answers to the important question of how to make the handicapped child take his place- normally in life, for it .is comparatively easy to take care of the physical needs in contrast to saving the morale of the boy or girl.

These accomplishments received state and national recognition.

THEREFORE, the loss to this professional group, to the city schools and to the community is great. We request that this recognition be submitted to the family of Miss Grove and to the Board of Education.

Committee Pearl Scales Grace Bennett A. H. Von Tungeln Ethel McMillan, Chairman

LeaseAgreement for Films Approved

Permission was requested for authority to enter into a lease agreement with the Teaching Film Custodians for the use of certain films on deposit with that organization.

Reasons for this request are: (1) A class of better documentary films can be secured only through this agency, (2) the single local depository is the University of Oklahoma. Extensive demands on this depository make booking almost impossible at the time when materials are needed (3) our needs are such that profitable utilization could now be realized if materials were on deposit for full time and would result in saving in rentals and carrying charges sufficient to offset lease costs.

Conditions of the lease Include: 1. No charge directly or indirectly for showing the films 2. Showing of films for educational purposes only J. Minimum costs of $150.00 for five black and white films for a three year period, with additional costs of $3^’00 per reel for three year period for any other title selected. (Technicolor prints at a higher rate.)

The basic lease would be for 25 titles, more or less, as is determined by i needs. This number could be changed any time under terms of the lease.

Lease Agreement for Films Approved

i These costs wil-l stay within our Sensory Aid Funds.

Motion was made by Mr. Richardson and seconded by Mr. Hisel, that authority be granted to enter into a lease agreement with the Teaching Film Custodians as requested. Upon roll call the motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Al Cook, President of the Taft Stadium Board, addressed the Board of Education, first reviewing the history of the Stadium, calling attention to the taking over and financing of the Stadium by the Junior Chamber of Commerce 15 years ago and improvements having been made at no expense to the Board. At the present time, Mr. Cook said, a committee of five men appointed by the Sports and Recreation Committee of the Chamber of Commerce,

Employment Approved Request of Taft Stadium Board to Issue Revenue Bonds

lequest of â€™aft Stadium loard to issue Revelue Bonds

had recommended that the seating capacity be increased from the present limit of 17,000 to approximately 35,000 at the earliest possible time because of the need of Oklahoma City for a stadium of that size. It was estimated that $450,000.00 would be needed for this purpose, for new lighting and sound equipment, and for developing the Board's 42 acre tract east of the Stadium for football practice fields, baseball, softball, track and parking facilities. The project would be financed from the sale of revenue producing bonds. Since the Stadium was the property of the Board it would be necessary to have the Board's permission to issue the bonds and they would like to have enabling .legislation passed at the present session of the legislature; The law would then be tested in the Supreme Court before the bonds were issued. Mr. Cook also said that the bonds would be tax free and bear interest of 2-|$ or less* and that the revenue from the Stadium for this year was estimated at $24,000.00.

It was requested that the Board's attorney work with the attorney representing the Stadium in preparing a bill to pre.sent to the legislature. Mr. Cook asked the Board to consider this matter and he. hoped that favorable action would be taken at the next meeting.

Reque sts Taken Under Consideration

Mr. Sinex said that the Board would take these requests under consideration and if the plan worked out, it would not be out of line to have the attorney for the Board of Education work with the Stadium Board's Attorney.

Mr., Al Cook, President, other members of the Taft Stadium Board and its attorney, Mr. George Fagin, came before the Board following up the proposal presented at the previous meeting that the Board of Education approve a bill to be introduced in the Legislature authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds for the expansion of the stadium.

After discussion, Mr. Richardson moved that the Board comply with the request of the Taft Stadium Board and have its executive officers and attorney, together with the attorney for the Taft Stadium Board, go over the proposed bill and confer with city officials in an effort to combine it with the similar bill introduced in the Legislature for the City, which would give the City and the School District authority to issue bonds for stadium construction or expansion purposes.

Revenue Bonds for Taft Stadium

It was pointed out by Mr. George Fagin, Attorney for the Taft Stadium Board that this legislation was only of a permissive nature and the Board would not necessarily be committed to follow through with the Taft Stadium Boards proposal.

Request of Mission Board of Christian Churches t Purchase Site from Board

Gentlemen: At a recent.meeting of the Mission Board of the Christian Churches of Oklahoma City a new church was organized for the purpose of serving Northwest Oklahoma City. This committee has authorised me to purchase a site somewhere in the northwest part of the city for a new church building.

In checking the records I find that the Oklahoma City School Board is the owners of the N. E. Quarter of the S.W. Quarter, Section 19, Township 12 NR 3 - which is bordered on the south by 27th Street, on the west by May Avenue, on the north by JOth Street and on the east by Miller's Boulevard, providing this street ran through to N. W. Street. Our committee is interested in purchasing from your board a plot of ground 200 x 25O feet at what would be the corner of N. W. 27th and Miller's Boulevard.

If this can be purchased I will be glad to submit a purchase contract and cashier's check to the Board at any regular meeting for their consideration. Any consideration given to this will be greatly appreciated by the writer.

Sincerely yours, (Signed) 0. R. Black 0. R. (Riley) Black Mr. Richardson moved that the Central Office notify Mr. Black that the Board will be unable to dispose of any of this land until the entire building program is worked out. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pearson and carried.

The following letter from Mrs. Massey J. McCombs and Mrs. William H. Stockwell, patrons of Horace Mann School, was-presented: March 22, 1947 j The Board of Education . j Attention: Mr. James A. Sinex, President j

Gentlemen:

I When the last bond issue was voted for the Oklahoma City Schools in 1945, ! a two-room addition plus some alterations which would make a third class; room was included in the program. We patrons of Horace Mann School support-! ed the bond issue on these promises. We find now that due to increased j prices the complete program cannot be completed and therefore our project ! was one of those eliminated in the plans for immediate building. !

We feel that this District who will annex.and the old but have now been

is an injustice to the children of Horace Mann School be forced to continue to attend school in the.wartime scout annex which were supposed to be used temporarily incontinuous use for five years.

We were told by Dr. Bruner that lone range planning will take care of our needs but we cannot believe that adding to some schools where no annexes are used, building auditoriums where no school housing shortage exists, building swimming pools, overbuilding schools where the present enrollment does not justify, or even the construction of a new Board of Education Building is more important than the elimination of these crackerbox school rooms.

We are not opposed to the construction of the above mentioned projects, nor even the purchasing of bare gound where no urgent school needs exist, for we, too, favor long range planning but not at the expense of our children. Even if our project is included, we are informed that It will be approximately two years before we can use the addition and at least six additional years if we .must wait for another bond issue. We are informed that our present permanent building has a capacity of 455 pupils and that while our enrollment has fallen off the past year it now has leveled off to 55° pupils. Thus, the proposed addition would adequately care for our present enrollment without any thought of the future, and we may expect growth, for new construction is constantly going on in our area.

We have the utmost confidence in our Board of Education and feel that you getleraen are endeavoring to do the best possible for the school children of all Oklahoma City and will, therefore, give this your very earnest consideratlon at your earliest possible time. If you so desire we shall be glad to appear before you to further discuss our case.

Report to the Board of Education on Boiler Insurance:

Boiler Insurance

"Dave R. McKown Co. April 18, 1947 i

Mr. N. L.^George, Business Manager Board of Education. . ......................... Oklahoma City,. Oklahoma

Dear Mr. George:.

....

| |

j |

The Board's insurance committee, in meeting with you Thursday, adopted i the. following resolution, which, we. now transmit to you for the consideration | of the Board of Education: [

"Resolved that the insurance committee.recommend to the Board of Education that it cover its liability to loss through boiler explosion by the purchase of a boiler explosion policy----- and that this business be placed with Employers' Liability Assurance Corporation." A boiler explosion contract covers as follows: ! j

| I j

ji I

1. To restore property of the school system for damage resulting from j boiler disruption or explosion—--up to the limits expressed in the policy with respect to each separate school or location. These limits vary depending primarily upon the value of the property exposed. 2.

To restore the property of others damaged by boiler explosion.

J. To expedite repair, or restoration of property d.amaged (extra expense involved, if any).

Since your properties are adequately covered with Fire and the Extended Coverage endorsement, we find it practical and advisable to eliminate certain features ordinarily included in boiler policies. The Extended Coverage feature includes coverage for explosion Inherent in the occupancy of a building, except boilers. Consequently, we recommend that the firebox & pressure piping feature be dropped from the boiler policy. Then, too, since the boiler policy is a "legal liability" contract as to bodily injury to others, we doubt the wisdom of carrying the "bodily injury" feature which could be included. All this is an effort to cut the premium down on this policy and avoid over-lapping coverage.

| | I ! ;

Your Board may doubt the wisdom of paying for boiler insurance. While your equipment is of the so-called "low pressure" type, nevertheless the records are full of losses sustained through boiler explosion. A lowpressure boiler becomes a high-pressure boiler quick if someone•fails in his job or the pop-off valve sticks.

1 j |

Boiler explosion insurance under the "broad form" we propose to use covers cracking, bulging and burning of boilers arising out of inefficient operation of carelessness of the operator. Thus, great damage is possible without an actual explosion,

| I

Moreover, and of greatest importance, is the inspection element provided for in such coverage. Manifestly, it is far better to avoid explosion than to pay for it after it has happened. Accordingly, we include expert inspection service as a part of this contract. Twice each year each and every boiler in the system will be carefully inspected by two competent engineers maintained right here in Oklahoma City for that purpose by the company we recommend. Frequently, these men run into examples of inefficient operation and are able to guide you in correction with ultimate economy. We, the members of your insurance committee, most urgently recommend that the Board continue its policy of carrying this type of insurance. Our responsibility to you dictates this frank expression of our judgment.

We are supplying a policy written by Employers' Liability Assurance Corporation of Boston. There are five excellent companies with which this coverage can be written and we believe it wise to pass it around. All publish the same rates.

Your renewal policy calls for a three-year tern premium of $4,614.44. We suggest, however, that perhaps you might wish to take advantage of installment privileges afforded by Employers’ Liability contemplating a first year premium of $2,061.04, and the second year $1,394.07, and the third year $1,159«35- Notwithstanding your renewal date is May 1, premiums may be paid after July 1 to suit your budget situation.

Comments; From the revenues reflected in the above analysis, it appears that if the additional estimated revenue of $10,000.00 is realized and appropriated, prior to June 20, 1947, there will still remain an excess of $}1 ,*240.^5 in Salary Schedule Requirements over available appropriations.

The same restricted expenditure program on non-salary accounts has been in effect during the year and the appropriation of surplus accruals from current years collections has been made as in the Q’eneral Fund accounts but the maximum revenue provisions as controlled by present statutes have not been sufficient to permit full payment on the adopted salary scale. The ninth payment to teachers of 9$ annual contract will be made as of May 29, 1947, bringing thfe total payment to 31$ of schedule for year.

A final payment of approximately 5% will be made late in June, 1947, bringing the total payments for the year to approximately 36$ of the adopted scale, and covering all of the appropriations and revenues realized for the period.

Letter con|cerning The following letter was presented from Rudolph N. Evjen, Executive Director School of the Oklahoma City Community Chest: Feeding “May 15, 1947 Program

“Mr. H. B. Bruner, Superintendent of Schools Board of Education 4-00 North Walnut Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Dear Mr. Bruner:

^MEETING. QF MAX 2Z, 19*17, CONTINUED BUSINESS CONTINUED INFORMATION TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION

"For a good number of years the Community Chest has made an allocation of approximately $^000.00 a year to the Board of Education of Oklahoma City to help finance its School deeding Program. Funds which you have received have been used to provide to children from low income families. Recently, because of the increased need involved, our organization made an additional grant of $500.00 over and above the $^000.00 appropriated for this purpose.

School *eedlng Program (cont’d)

"The Community Chest Budget Committee is about to begin hearings on agency requests for next year’s operational budgets. Budget hearings will probably get under way about June 15th. In the meanwhile, we are asking all participating groups in the Community Chest to submit a request for their needs for the coming year no later than June 1.

"At a recent meeting of our Budget Committee it was brought out that the Community Chest is financing a large number of programs that ought to be assumed by public agencies. This situation, in effect, has placed the Community Chest in a position of being unable to finance many health and welfare agencies which should be provided to the community under private agency supervision. In other words, the diversion of our funds for purposes which are clearly the responsibility of public agencies has prevented the carrying out of other greatly needed services in the community. This fact was emphasized by a survey made last summery by otftslde specialists who point out, among other things, tfeat the School Feeding program was a responsibility of the County Welfare Board. "I have therefore been instructed by the Budget Committee to petition your Board to contact the County Commissioners.in an effort to have the County Welfare Board assume financial responsibility for the School deeding set-up. If the efforts of your Board in this connection prove to be unfruitful, then your only recourse will be to submit a request to the Community Chest for continuance of its subsidy for the coming year.

"May I h'fear- from you in this regard? Cordially yours,

I I ' I 1

Assumptions; 1.

That the maximum capacity of the school shall not exceed 1250

That when the .school reaches capacity, the plant will progressively be converted into a four-year junior high school or a senior high school

That if both the cafeteria and the swimming pool can not be constructed within the funds available, the cafeteria be given first priority.

Comments and Recommendations; Re:

Architect’s s Sketches

Cafeteria capacity: Assuming a maximum enrollment of 1250, that 90$ students will use the cafeteria, and that the cafeteria will be operated a three-shift basis, the seating capacity required would be 375.. The fit x 12,5 or 4,688 sq. : space required for this number of seats would be 375 1

In order to be on the liberal side, we recoifimend a capacity of 400, which at 12,5 per pupil would require 5000 sq. ft,

The preliminary plan presented shows the pupils’ dining room seating 500 with a floor area of 6000 sq. ft. 2.

Teachers’ Dining Room: As shown on the plan, this room is J^3..x 32 or 736 X 12 sq, *ft* sq. ft., with a seating capacity of 61, figured on the b t, instead per seat. The allotment per seat per teacher shoul^he^ '"'seating of 12. Assuming that teachers would be serve^'in tw| eat this would capacity of 30 would be more than ample. sq. r require 450 sq. ft.

Recommendations - Continued

The Food Preparation Arpa: The food preparation area Is shown in the plans as 1856 sq. ft. This Includes kitchen, storeroom, service room, passage ways, etc. Based on total meals served in a day; namely, 112*5 pupils and 40 teachers,.the total meals served equal 1,165, The food preparation required for this number of meals would be, according to' established standards .9 x 1165 or 1,0^6 sq, ft. This is $08 sq. ft, less than the area shown. We recommend that the space assigned to the food preparation area be'1100 sq, ft.

Dish Washing and Serving Units: These units are not as yet blocked out in the archite c t1 s sketch. The area-required, according to standards for these units,, is seating capacity of dining room multiplied by two, or 800 sq. ft. Conference Room: We recommend the elimination of the conference room as shown and that it be provided for within the teachers' dining room by folding partition.

SUMMARY OF FLOOR SPACE

Pupils ’ Dining Room----------- ------ 5000 sq, ft, Teachers ’ Dining Room------------- 736 sq. ft. Food Preparation Room —----- —» 1100 sq. ft, Dish Washing & Serving Unit— 800 sq. ft* T0TAL7636 sq, ft. . ■The total area shown in the plans for a pupils' dining room with a capacity of ^05, together with accessory rooms, teachers' room, and conference room, is 77^0 sq. ft.— a difference of 104 sq, ft. If, according to the plans, the cafeteria were developed on a basis of a 500 seating capacity, the additional amount of floor space would be 1250 plus 104, or a total of 135^ SQ« ft. The cost^of this additional space would probably range between $16,000 and $.20,000, 6.

Swimming Pool: The plans show the swimming pool -30 x 7§h with a pool area of 2250 sq, ft. The standard "long pool" (bee Manual page 79.) is 25 x 75* The standard "short pool" is 20 x 60. We recommend that the standard short pool - 20 x 60 - be adopted for the Northeast High School. Wb recommend further that the width of the floor area on the'north side of the pool be reduced from 13 to 8 ft. in width. We further recommend that the floor area on the south end of the pool be reduced from 16 to 12 ft. The total reduction of the area of the pool equals 1050 sq. ft. — a total reduction in the floor area, surrounding the pool, 1562 sq. ft. — a total of 2612 sq. ft.

With the foregoing reductions, it is probable that a reduction in cost of approximately $40,000 might be achieved,

I have reviewed the preliminary architect’s sketch for the development of additional shops space, I have also visited the school with the architect, the Superintendent, and the Principal, with a view to arriving at an agreement on some suggested changes designed to solve two problems; namely, the cafeteria situation, and the need for additional classrooms. The agreement reached was to the following effect:

That the present cafeteria space be converted into six or possibly seven additional classrooms with provision for an additional means of egress as shown in the architect’s sketch,

That a new cafeteria be constructed as an independent unit between the high school building and the stadium wall, I recommend that this cafeteria be developed giving special consideration to its.use as a community building, providing facilities; for many types of civic and community services not now available in the area. Located on the ground floor and separate from the main building, it would stand as an open invitation for community use and simplify the problem pf administration when the building’is used fjor community purposes. .1 recommend that the cafeteria be developed as a distinctive architectural and aesthetic unit of the plant so that it may become a social hall and an attractive environment instead of just a place to "feed” students. Its location on the ground floor would also solve the safety problem.

The above recommendation would necessitate a relocation of the architect’s sketch of the shop facilities to be added. Tho architect and Principal agreed that the shops would be easily relocated to the rear of where they are shown on the present sketches,, with some advantage in articulation of the added shops to the existing shop.

In our original report it will be recalled we recommended that no decision be reached on either the Willard, the Lincoln, or the Lee Schools until such time as an engineer's report on the structural adequacy of the old units of these plants is received. Such a report is now available from your architect, Mr. Nolen. With reference to Willard, his report is as follows:

Willard - I believe the proposal to tear out the interior and rebuild one or two floors at a lower level to be '.•* impractical. First, the window openings would not be the proper height for the new floors, thereby requiring so much cutting and patching of the walls, that probable damage to the walls would result, and since this is a wall bearing structure, such damage wodiTd. be serious. Second, the cost of such ah operation would probably not be any less than to wreck the Old building and build a new smaller building on th+ site,"

Recommendations:

In the light of this report, we recommences follows: 1.

That no addition be made to the Willard School,

Rearrange space' for a cafeteria on the first floor to Occupy space

approximately equivalent to three classrooms in the east building. Follow details of manual insofar as practicable in the working out

of this unit.

ture of money and will not improve the appearance of the building.” Recommendations; In the light of the architect’s report, we recommend that a wing be added to the southeast corner of the unit erected in. 1919, providing in this-school a library and four additional classrooms, the library to conform to the standard stipulated

locations in the city.

It is recognized that the permanent structure at C

The 2 3/1° acres of land purchased for the neighborhood primary school was entirely adequate, but it is conclusively evident now that a neighborhood primary school will not serve the needs of this district. • Recommendations:

That a full coverage elementary school be developed for North Creston Hills, comprising-a kindergarten and grades one to six. The plot plan developed at this time should include a kindergarten

and 11 or 12 regular classrooms, plus essential service units cafeteria, auditorium, health clinic, etc. -The architect's preliminary sketch as of now shows such projected development,

We recommend at this time that 4 of the classrooms shown in the

plan be developed at this time, leaving the major service units

and additional classrooms to a future program. J.

In view of the fact that this is to be a complete school, the

amount of land you now own will prove to be entirely inadequate.

Dr. H. B. Bruner Superintendent of Schools Board of Education 400 North Walnut Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Dear Dp. Bruner:

At the present time the City of Oklahoma City is paying the salaries of seven Assistant Librarians located as follows:

Jackson School, Capitol Hill High School, Capitol Hill Junior High School, Harding Junior High School, Webster Junior High School, and Taft Junior High School. These librarians are in charge of and administer the school libraries located in the schools above listed.

' j

Your attention is directed to three specific recommendations found on i pages 14 and 15 of the Survey of the Oklahoma City Public Library, pre- ! pared by Joseph L. Wheeler and Walter H, Kaiser, which are quoted below: j

Paragraph 13* { "The salaries paid are deplorable, totally unfair and inexcusable. J A classification and play plan is Imperative now, for resignations ! of the ablest are continuing, and for some unexplained reason, no : provisions whatever for increases has been made. Serious incon| sistencies in salaries exist. Pension provision should be arranged;, vacations lengthened, bonuses given for additional study, etc. i

Paragraph 14; "If no other means can be found fdr immediate salary increase, several school branches should be closed and the savings redistributed.

Paragraph 25: "The contract between the library and ^public schools, in effect since 1921, must now be challenged. Everyone is dissatisfied with results of a well-meant attempt to combine two different jobs in one, with about one-fifth enough money to do either properly. The schools rightly desire a first-class system of school libraries. We recommend its proper financing by the school board and operation by the public library."

1 I i

j j ?

; >

! j |

Particular attention is directed to Paragraphs 13 and 14-. At the present; time this City is under-financed in all departments, and if we are to raise salaries as recommended by the Survey, we must of necessity withdraw our support in the seven school libraries as listed above. The budget which is now being prepared by this office for submission to the City Council will not contain provisions for the continued payment of the salaries of Assistant Librarians assigned to the seven school libraries.

You will notfe in Paragraph 25 of the recommendation, the last sentence recommends that the School Board properly finance a school library system to be operated by the public library. If the Board is desirous of discussing this particular point, I am sure that this office and the members of the Library Board will be happy to meet with you and the Board at any < time.

to further substantiate our reasons for recommending to the Council that we discontinue support of the school libraries, I should like to point out that the Library Board, together with members of your own organlza** tion, have studied this problem and have recommended that the City support be withdrawn.

In the matter of the selection of the services of a landscape architect, the Board authorized the Superintendent to contact President Cross of Oklahoma University to see if the University landscap architect could be secured to help plan for new buildings in the Oklahoma City Public Schools.

After a discussion of additional money which may be needed at Central High School, Mr. Richardson was authorized to see Mr. Leo Copsidine* Attorney for the heirs of the Boyd property, about the use of the Inverness-Boyd property.

MODERNIZATION AND REPAIR - BOND ISSUE - CONTINUED INFORMATION TO THE BOARD-OF EDUCATION - CONTINUED "EXHIBIT IV Dr. Hart•s Reports on "June 27, 1947 Alterations & Additions for Capitol xo: Board of Education and Superintendent of Schools Hill High Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Proposec. Football By: F. W. Hart Field for Britton High Subject: Third Preliminary °raft of Alterations and Additions to capitol Accepted Hill High School. -

Note: I have studied this plan critically with a view to reducing the amount of floor space, but I have not been too successful. There are, how- i ever, a few points at which the possibility of reduction might be considered:? 1. That the space between the cafeteria and the present building be reduced from 30 feet as shown to 26 or possibly 24- by the following:

I i

Reduce the width of the girls’ toilet from 10 to 3 feet and reduce the length of the teachers* dining room to 20 feet,"educe the width of the boys’ toilet room and utility room by 4 feet and the width of the stairwell by 2 feet— an & feet stairwell would be adequate for stairs 43 inches in width, which is standard.

2. The size of the three new shops over-all 150 x 32 seems to be unduly generous in floor ar£a. I suggest th&t this problem be submitted to j Mr. Spady for his expert opinion on shop size. It is my Judgment that the woodworking area might well be reduced to approximately 5° x 6° and the auto > mechanics shop be reduced from 57 x 30 to 50 x 30. It is my opinion that considerable floor space may be saved by a restudy of the shop layout.

3. The cafeteria dining room floor space is standard for 500 pupils. Likewise the food preparation space figures out according to standards. ihe rectangular space extending into the food servihg counter 10 feet x 20 feet poses a problem of floor space that is difficult to correct. It seems necessary to have this inset in order to get the proper length of food serving counter for the two lines. The solution seems to be to plan Justifiable use of this space. Since this is not only to be a pupils’ dining room but a community social hall used for many purposes and in all probability a student social hall for parties, dances, and the like, this rectangular space may be used to advantage as the space for an orchestra. An easily removable plat- | form might be provided to fit in this space which could be used both by an ? orchestra and by speakers, entertainers‘and-the like that may appear before I school and community gatherings. j 4. The spce in the front of the dining room, namely foyer, wraps, and utility is not sufficiently worked out in the plan to make a final report on its Justification. To the extent that the cafeteria dining room is to be used as a community room will the space be needed for a coat and hat check room for men and for women, and a public pay telephone booth. As I look at the plan now, I think it would be advisable' to decrease the length of theee two rooms adding the space to the foyer, thus Including both of the doors exiting from the dining room directly into the foyer. If this is done, the width of the foyer might be reduced from 14 to 12 feet compensating for the reduction by the increase in length. 5. In the boys' toilet adjacent to the cafeteria, the fixtures are In the wrong order for convenience in use. The urinals should be where the water closets are add the wash basins should be between the urinals and the exit door. I think this can be arranged without any serious problem.

Recommendation: I recommend that the Board authorize the architect to proceed with the refinement of this sketch and that a new one, still in a tentative state, be forwarded to me at your convenience. "
