School Attendance
Drops Forcing Release
Of Two from Faculty
The Grand Saline schools will
suffer a loss of two teachers next
year because of a drop in average
daily attendance during the past
year.
Although final figures were not
complete this week for the at-'
tendance report on which state
educational aid is based, it was
learned that the decrease would
bo sufficient to require the elimina-
tion of two teachers under the
state program.
Superintendent of schools Guy
C. Pryor said that compared to
last year, there has been an aver-
age daily attendance of between.
50 to 60 less this past school year.
The number of school age chil-
dren on this year’s census roll
dropped by 80 compared to last)
year. Children between the age*
of 16-17 inclusive, are counted <m
the census.
Teachers who will be dropped
from the faculty will be Ynada
known in August, Pryor said.
