The A&M Consolidated School
board voted Monday night at its
regular meeting to “approve the
concept of the plans” for landscap
ing and building improvements on
three of its campuses.
The plans include a new curb cut
for Consolidated High School which
will double the amount of parking
spaces from 80 to 160 and a reten
tion wall to prevent rainwater from
accumulating on the Middle School
campus. Plans for South Knoll
Elementary School include parking
improvements and sidewalks.
Middle School plans must be
presented to the Soil Conservation
Services which is aiding in the con
struction by Feb. 15. The high
school parking plans must be pres
ented to the College Station city en
gineer for approval before work can
begin.
Fred Klatt, architect for the
plans, said he will wait for approval
of the plans and begin taking con
struction bids sometime in March.
Trustee Bill Wasson urged board
members to consider planning the
elementary school playgrounds
now, and not after the construction
is finished.
Several local organizations have
volunteered materials and labor to
update the present equipment.
They are waiting for the board to
grant permission to begin the work.
The board voted to have Superin
tendent Fred Hopson “with admin
istrative input, formulate basic pro
gram requirements (for the playg
round) as soon as is practical.”
, In other business, Hopson urged
the board to appoint a site selection
committee to inspect possible loca
tions for the Maintenance Facility.
The district has $85,000 to spend
on the site, which will house
maintenance materials. On Hop-
son’s recommendation, the board
voted unanimously to begin screen
ing designer engineers for the
project.
Olie Grauke, assistant superin
tendent of finance, requested the
board to authorize the purchase of
four new buses at a cost of $76,000
to replace those that had more than
200,000 miles on them.
Although the board authorized
the purchases, it denied Grauke’s
request for two 19-passenger and
four 71-passenger buses until mem
bers could get more information.
These buses would be used for
transportation to sporting events
and to pick up students on the
smaller bus routes, Grauke said.
“It may be more economical to
drive the 19-passenger bus, but we
already have the big ones,” said
Trustee Elliot Bray.
The board is also considering a $1
million Texas Association of School
Boards insurance policy which will
cover board members, adminis
trators, teachers and student
teachers.
The board authorized the insur
ance representative to begin inves
tigation of the district to determine
if it qualifies for the policy, which
would cost the district $1900 a year.
Bray, chairman of the superin
tendent selection committee, re
quested a special meeting Feb. 12
to finishing screening applications
for Hopson’s job.
Thirty-nine persons have applied
for the position which will be va
cated on Tune 30.
