BEACH DIST. MAKES PLANS FOR SCHOOL
SEPARATION FROM CON. "B"
EXPECTED SOON; TO
HIRE TEACHER
Separation of the Beach school district, ten miles south of Fallon, from the Consolidated "B" district, is being asked in petitions this week submitted to Churchill county commissioners. Patrons of the Beach expect that they will be independent of the large Fallon district in time to have a teacher employed by the first of the year.
Until this fall the consolidated district has been maintaining a school at the beach. Recently, however- it was contended by directors that the cost of maintaining the school there exceeded the cost of transporting pupils to Fallon, and the Beach school was discontinued. With a few exceptions, patrons at the Beach have refused to avail themselves of the consolidated school privileges and have been keeping their children out of school pending settlement of their divorce proceedings from the larger district. Separation of the district is approved by a large majority of patrons of the Beach district and directors of the consolidated district.
After it was announced that in- sufficient qualified signers were named on the petition for separation when an attempt was made early this fall to separate the Beach district, [ patrons of the Beach this week [ sought more support. The law requires three-fifths or the school pa! trons and taxpayers of the districts concerned before approval can be given by the county commissioners. These signatures have now been se¬cured, it is claimed.
There are 12 children of school age at the Beach. Only two have been sent to the Consolidated "B" school this year, it is said.
Attendance at Fallon requires 22 miles travel daily by children, it is contended, whereas the pupil farth- est to the Beach school is required to go but one mile. Primary pupils at the Beach can reach home early ) in the afternoon, while they are required to wait for the regular time of departure for school busses when attending at Fallon, is another point raised in favor of the local school. The Beach district comprises an area of approximately five square miles. The district is equipped with a school building in good condition.
Mrs. Ruth Rice has agreed to act as temporary teacher of the Beach school, providing separation is approval by the commissioners, until a regular teacher can be employed,
