program. “There’s only one area I have trouble with—the green house and horticulture classroom,” she said. “We have our program at Piedmont,” Mrs. Massie added, noting that the regional school was also planning to begin a capital outlay program.
“We don’t want to duplicate,’’ interjected Stokes.
Acknowledging that a formal proposal had yet to be presented to the Piedmont board, Dr. Bloomer reported that information from the regional school’s administration indicated there was no greenhouse in the school’s expansion plans. He added that Orange already had a green house while Madison and Culpeper were both considering construction.
Sewage System Costs
Masterson agreed with Stoke’s position that questions on modifications to the sewage disposal system should be answered before any expansion at the high school was approved.
“When we talk about priorities, we’re talking about what we’re taking to the board of supervisors. They’re mainly interested in our thinking on the projection of needs,” Mrs. Massie responded. “Are you saying that you don’t want to project (school) needs to the supervisors until we get cost figures (for modifications that may be needed for the high school’s sand filter system)?” she asked Masterson.
He countered that it was the capital outlay committee’s responsibility to project costs as well as need.
Noting that the proposed high school expansion would cost about $733,700 without modifications to the sanitary system, Mrs. Massie asked again if the board was going to make a recommendation to the supervisors.
“I would suggest we go ahead with our immediate needs despite not having information on sewage,” Nichols proposed.
Bloomer told the board that supervisor chairman E. P. Luke had indicated the supervisors “were looking for capital outlay ideas with more definite (cost) figures in the future...They would like to know our time frame so they can do fiscal planning,” he explained.
