HEALTH SERVICES: In order to provide adequate health services for the
s venth grade youngsteJ:s and abo to wo1·k a cooperative relationship with
the Elementary School that will now be taking care of two schools with the
servieee of one nurse, the following arrangement wae eugg sted. H the
High School di etrict nur e could be scheduled a t the Elementary School
three a!ter;.1.oons a week to serve both seventh grade and Elementary School
youngsters for emet-gency purposes, the Elementzi.ry School nurse, in a
reciprocal arrangement, would be available to serve the seventh grade
youngsters during the mo1·ning e each <lay o! the weeko h1 thi way, there
would be nurs ing servicee available on the Element2..l"Y School campue £01· all
youngeters located there for all but two afternoons in th~ week. The Health
Offices and othe l" f a cilities would be available for use by high s~hool diatrict
personnel. lt is assumed that E;ome conti·actual relationship betweon the two
districts would have to be entered into in ord r to cover the question 0£ legal
responsibility# l iability, in$uranee and other related matterso This arrange-
ment has been discus se4 tentatively with both nui· ee s invol ved, and they eeem
to !eel that it is. a ve1·y satisfa(!tory one.
TRANSPORTATION: It is recommended that the seventh grade students be
loaded and unloaded at the bu.s loading area now utilized by the Elementary School
on Eleventh Street near Newhall AvenueQ The opening and closing hours of school
for the seventh grade youngeter s will be suc:h so as to not inter!ere in any way
with the transportation arrangementt5 of the Elementary School. The Elementary
School reque &ts consideration o! assistance from the High School in transporting
approximately two bua loads o£ students from the Newhall Elementary School to
the Peachland Elementary School each morning at 8:45. The·se are the youngsters
who would normally be attending school at Newhall Elementary, but who are being
hous·ed at the Peachland School in order to make room space available to the
seventh grade on the Elementary School campuso The elementary school buees
are in use at thie particular time bringing lower elementary grade youngsters
to school for the nine o'clock session. These eame youngeters would need to
be returned from Peachland to Newhall Elementary at approximately 3:40 ea.ch
afternoon. · It i~ pol sible'-that the Elementar y School could accommodat~ at leaet
one bus load at that time, but would like to consider possible reciprocal arrange ...
ments !or the High School buses taking care of these youngsters in the a!ternoon
also. There is also the possibility that we would requeet assi6tance from the
Elementary School in transporting ce1·tain seventh graders to the High School
campus daily at two o'clock There a1·e a few c la~ ses scheduled for the laet
period of the day, in which it would be desirable to have both .seventh and eighth
grade youngsters, and it would be neces sary to t ransport the seventh grade
youngsters to the High School campus.
CUSTODIAL SERVICES: It would seem most pi·actical to have custodians em-
ployed by the High School District under the supervision of Mr., Kes singer to be
assigned to cuetodial work in those classrooms and other building facilitie,s on
the Elementary School campus utilized by the seventh grade.. This would include
a pro rata shar-e o! the responsibility for the auditoriumo All supplies and equip-
ment would be furnished by the High School. When necessary, heavy equipment
euch a& waxer e and the like could be made available by the Elementary School.
It would be expected that Mr. Ludlow would work out with Mr. Kessinger whatever
coordination was necessary to assure satisfactory care o! the facilities. All
grounds maintenance would be taken care of by the Elementary School custodial
staff. Emergency custodial servie es will be prw.ided by the e" ementary school
during the day.
