TRIDAY, MARC FAIRFAX SCHOOLS WILL BE MERGED : County Education System. | Gpeclal Dispatch to The Star. | FAIRFAX, Va, March 22.—The first | step in a consolidation and reorganiza- tion program for the high school system of Fairfax County was taken this week by the County School Board, when' it decided to consolidate the high school work at Fairfax and Oakton. All first | year instruction will be given at Fair- ! fax, with the class operating in two sec- tions, under two teachers. The size of {the elementary graduation classes in- dicates an enrollment of between 50 and i ent overcrowded conditions at Oakton will be relieved, and second, third- and fourth year high school instruction will be given there. A more drastic change was made. in | Branesville district, where it was ten- | tatively decided to abolish entirely the high school departments at Porestville and Floris, concentrating the academic subjects and the agricultural and me- chanical courses now given at Floris in the Herndon School. Public Hearing Ordered. The board agreed that before such drastic action became final opportunity should be provided for a hearing of the o.infons of the different communities affected. A public hearing will be held in the boardroom April 13 at 10 o'clock. Each community will be limited to three speakers. The clerk of the board has been di- rected to prepare a statement showing both the present cost of operating the three high schools and the cost of oper- ation under consolidation. From the information now before the board, it ap- pears that the estimated saving in cost of instruction in high school work would amount to at least $3,000 per year. | High school instruction this year at Floris cost the county $6,450, a portion of the salaries of the two vocational in- structors being paid by the State. At Forestville the one high school teacher, with $10 a month part-time pay for a second, cost $1,350; at Herndon, high school instruction cost $4,950. Of -this $470 wes paid by the town of Herndon as a contribution toward the cost of a commercia! teacher. Fewer Teachers Needed. The board estimates that under the consolidation plan seven high school teachers could take care of the 150 pupilgon roll, instead of the 11 now em- ployed. The Herndon building will ac- commodate 400 pupils. ‘The board has not completed*its con- solidation program. Other schools will be studied, both elementary and high, of Proposition.
