In mid-April, a seventeen
page report by the Citizens Ad-visory
Committee was turned
over to the East Rockaway Board
of Education. Members of the
Committee had been appointed by
the PTA's (3), by the ER Teach-e
r s Association (1) and by the
School Board (6). They were:
Mr. Joseph Coulon, Mrs. Anne
Cohn, Mr. Ludwig Brooks, Mr.
Francis Brown, Mr. Earl Cole,
Mr. Jirah Cole, Mr. Robert Heu-ser,
Mr. Walter Kirch, Mr. Lu-ther
Kirsch and Mrs. Irene Ru-bin.
Starting in November they
met weekly, interviewed princi-pals
and teachers, inspected sch-ools
and solicited comments from
interested citizens.
The following Summary was
available at the School Board
meeting in May and we carry it
here as we feel it should be of
interest to East Rockaway resi-dents
in School District #19.
The basic problems the Com-mittee
encountered related to a
need for additional classrooms,
a reduction of overcrowded con-ditions
for students and teachers,
provision for some flexibility so
that our school system can ex-pand
its curriculum if and when
necessary to keep current with
educational trends and methods,
and elimination of certain sub-standard
conditions.
The following are the Com-mittee's
recommendations for
the correction of the problems
at the various schools:
Centre Avenue School: Addi-tional
classrooms - Two kin-dergarten
classrooms and three
standard size classrooms should
be constructed adjacent to the
eastern end of the present school
building; General purpose room -
the present auditorium should be
converted to the much needed
general purpose room (this has
already been done); Library -
the library should be moved to
the auditorium balcony which is
presently used no more than
once or twice a year. In the
event that this balcony room
were not approved by the State
for use as a library, it should
still be renovated and used as
a teachers' room or a confer-ence
room, or in some other
suitable manner.
Rhame Avenue School: No
major renovations, alterations
or additions are proposed for
the Rhame Avenue School at this
time.
East Rockaway High School:
Additional classrooms - a new
two-story wing with a minimum
of 12 classrooms should be con-structed
at the rear of the p r e s -
ent buUding; Athletic faculties -
Land north of the present ath-letic
field up to the general area
of Garfield Place should be ac-quired,
if it is available; Music
Department - four small, sound-proof
practice rooms and an
instrument and storage room sh-ould
be built south of the exist-ing
music room; Industrial a r t a -
ing music room; Industrial a r t s -
A new combined metal and auto-motive
shop should be construc-ted;
Library - The present li-brary
facilities should be ex-panded.
The Committee also consid-ered
and discarded as imprac-tical
the erection of a middle
school.
After a careful study of the
report and further meetings with
school principals and teachers,
members of the Board of Edu-cation
and the Superintendent of
Schools will present their pro-posals
to the district, probably
some time in September.
