. We at Saltillo are proud of our
school. A recent visit to our school by
Dr. Ron Singleton, head of the three
member accreditation team that'
spent Vk days reviewing the different
aspects of the school, made us quite
happy with his report of the school.
They visited classrooms and
reviewed school records. The final
phase of the visit was held with school
administrators and members of the
board of trustees. The board mem-
bers were especially pleased after
being told that if all schools were like
Saltillo, there would be no ac-
creditatiori visits. Dr. Singleton said
“I see no reason why Saltillo school
should not continue as fully ac-
credited.’,’ Thanks to our teachers
and trustees.
