I Page 2. To the City Council of San Marcos grown tremendously in number of students and the public schools have also grown. The college in the last few years has been under an expansion program and recently under funds borrowed from the HHFA has furthered their expansion program. The College has felt it necessary, with the increased number of students, to request that the public schools move the children out of the Campus school. The College, because of this expansion and growth feels the urgent need of this building. This brings a burden upon the public of San Marcos to replace this building at this time, because in the past twelve years the citizens of San Marcos have built an entire school plant. I The public schools are presently overcrowded. There is no place to house the children coming out of the classrooms of the Campus School. There is only one solution apparent to the San Marcos Independent School District Board of Trustees and that is to build a building to house these children. We solicit the City's careful consideration to help us in the public school problem that faces the citizens of San Marcos at this time. 1. Under the City's Community Development Program we request that the public schools be given the consideration of a location composed of approximately 20 acres in the Dunbar Elemen- tary School area for the purpose of building a complete Junior High School. This Junior High school would house approximately 900 children in 1965. This Junior High school would serve the entire community. The present Junior High school would be converted into an elementary school because of location to replace the Campus Elementary School. I The present Junior High school will become inadequate for a Jl.Ulior High school but would be suitable and adequate for an elementary school for the forseeable future.
