Naugatuck, July 1s.-Possibility Of
q special meeting Of the board Of
education early in August to con-
slider the protest Of the closing Of
the Millville school dimmed today
with the statement by Emil Mann
weller, chairman Of the school board,
that he does not think at present
that 1t will be necessary to hold
q meeting before the one scheduled
for August 30.
Mr.. Mannweiler did not entirely
rule out the possibility Of an earlier
session but indicated he could see
no reason for it 1t present.
He pointed out the August 10th
session will be held before school
opens and business requiring trans
action prior to school opening can
be acted upon then.
There Is some speculation as to
whether or not this means that the
board will refuse to change its stand
on the closing Of the Millville schools
ordered closed at the last meeting.
At the session late in June the
board ordered alterations made at
the second floor OF the Tuttle house,
including fire escape, to permit an
additional number Of high school
students to use this structure.
It also ordered new treads for the
high school stairs and some new
seats and desks. In addition prelim-
mary steps toward improving the
futile music shed with the idea in.
mind Of possibly having the high
school manual training classes there
was advised.
These things will run into a con-
siderable expenditure and the
board members apparently felt the
money for them would come from
the savings to be derived by the
closing Of the three schools and the
special room.
It is certain that If the board
should retract its stand on the
Millville school closing, some Of the
expected savings would not result.
And II such retraction occurred,
there would probably be a clamor
from residents Of Pond Hill that
the school there be reopened. In
the meantime the work at the futile
house viii have been done and the
treads and seats Tor the high school
bought. So II the board changes
its mind on the closing Of schools
at the August 90 session, 1t will have
some trouble finding the money to
pay for the work ordered for this
summer.
