The Plainvile school committee,
after several months of hard work
with the Bristol school board, has at
last received the consent of that body
to allow the Plainville pupils who are
ready to enter high school to attend the
Bell City institution the coming year.
according to an announcement by the
Plainville committee through l.. S.
Mills, secretary, this morning. The
decision of the Bristol board was
reached at meeting yesterday but it
| is modified by the statement that un-
der no consideration will PlainVile be
accomm odated for more than the next
school year.
The following statement has been
made by the Plainville school commit
tee through Mr.. Mills: THE town
school committee is unable without
the help of the tax payers to do all
that it wishes for the schools of
Plainville. Two years ago, we had as
surances from New Britain that it
would be possible to continue our pu-
pills in the Junior High school for sew
eral years. A little over a'year ago, we
had contract with Bristol to take
from Is to 80 of our graduates for a
period of three years, Unexpected in
crease in numbers of children have
caused both Bristol and New Britain
TO withdraw these agreements. AS
soon as this happened, the committee
went over the situation very carefully
and made the following recommends
tons to the taxpayers of the town of
Plainville. These were printed on
page 66 of the annual report for the
year ending August Is, 1922, and were
presented at the annual business
meeting of the town last October.
These were not accepted by the tax
payers
Recommendations
uC lnt
selection of a site and the erection Of
four room grammar school in the
eastern part of the town during the
year 1922-1923. Said school to be so
located that intertown transportation
will not be necessary, except to the
central grammar school where a ninth
grade may be added for the year 1928
1924. This will give us a Junior
High school. During the year 1928
1924 central site, accessible from all
parts of the town without transporta-
ton, should be selected and a high
school building erected. Said building
to be ready for use at the opening OF
the year of 1924-1925.
The above recommendations are in |
the last own report, and on the records
in the office of the town clerk, we
find statement saying that they were
not accepted.
I'm view of this, Bristol felt that
Plainville planned to depend on it's
neighbors indefinitely and voted not
to accept more Plainvil& pupils.
Conditions Made
Later, the Plainvile school commit
tee conferred with Bristol concerning
the acceptance of the graduating class
of this September. The Bristol board
stated that If Plainville would select
a site and vote by the close of school
in June to build at least a grammar
school and thus show disposition to
meet its own problems, the city of
Bristol would use its best endeavors to
find place for Planville's entering
class.
Plainville was very slow in securing
he site, as it will be remembered by !
he many town meetings held on the
question, and Bristol again voted not
o accept the entering class from {
olainville. S
Consent For One Year /
Yesterday, at the solicitation of the !
olainville committee, the Bristol
BOARD met, reconsidered the question
md voted to accept Plainville pupils I
n the Bristol schools this September i
N condition that it would be the last I
ime. {
The boys and girls who were grad /
lated last June from the Plainville
.raded schools and who are qualified, !
nay now plan to enter the Bristol a
1igh school on September 5, the G
pening day. They will provided they il
ave met the required standards re-
uired for certiication for high school, n
e entered in the new high school t
rected recently in Bristol. F
Special Town Meeting
There will be a special town meet o
'g in Plainville in the near future II
'r the purpose of appropriating C
loney for a new school building, a s.
rammar school building large enough
