trict was previously visited for
accreditation purposes in I960,
at which time the district was
continued as fully accredited for

The district, encompasing 212
square miles of farm and ranch
land and small industrial con-

of the district s patrons. How-

the immediate need for estab-
lishing a financial plan to en-
sure the development and ade-
quate support of their program
of education. A 25 acre building
site nearby had been donated by
a former student. However,
