RICHMOND, Oct. 31.-A
Recommendation has been made
by the Virginia School Boards
Association that could mean a
possible saving of millions of
dollars to the rapidly expanding
Washington suburban area.
Members of the association,
which ended its annual session
here yesterday, unanimously
recommended a revision of the
State school building code to
eliminate unnecessary expendi-
lures without sacrifice to the
safety of students and facilities
essential to classroom instruc-
ton"
At the same time, the board
went on record in favor of a
State sales tax Gin order to in
crease revenue available for the
support and expansion of the
public school system" 1t asked
that a MAJOR portion Of the
revenue provided by the sales tax
be earmarked for public educa-
ton.
The association also asked an
increase in the minimum salary
for teachers, and requested that
the major portion of the minimum
salary requirements be assumed
by the State. The association
did not include a specific amount
lin its recommendation in order
that it might see what addi-
Itional tax sources are to be
tapped before setting a minimum
figure.
A Northern Virginia spokes-
man said after the meeting that
Iof the approximately $4,000
square feet of floor space in a
l20-room ele m ent ary school
about $4,000 square feet is nom
Institutional space.
The State building code re-
quires, for instance, a specified
number of square feet for
clinics, Libraries, Offices and
other facilities. If music in
struction is to be offered. these
rooms must have a definite
square footage.
In Northern Virginia the
square foot cost of school con-
struction is about $13. BY elm
Iinating or reducing the square
Ifootage of some noninstruc-
tional areas. many thousands of
dollars could be saved on each

Lot Requirements
The school building code also
requires the size of the school
lot to be minimum of 5 acres
for elementary schools and 10

pupils. the size must be increased
