The elementary school, which had
888 students enrolled at the close of
the 1990-91 school year, expects an
enrollment increase next fall. A
facilities planning committee had
recommended installation of two
cafeteria serving lines to avoid
overcrowding. The committee also
had recommended installation of a
two-classroom portable building on
the campus and trustees awarded a
contract for the unit earlier this
month.
The trustees also approved
