GCISD Plans New Vocational Building
The Glasscock County Independent School District’s Board of Trustees, meeting in regular session Sept. 13 looked at and discussed a preliminary plan for a new vocational arts building. The plan is for a 125 foot by 110 foot building that would include a large shop plus woodworking, welding and painting areas, wood and steel storage rooms and two classrooms. The planned site is the area immediately southeast of the entrance to the high school. School Board President Jimmy Eggemeyer suggested going ahead with the bidding process.
Pointing to a growing program under second-year teacher Rusty Hollingsworth, Secondary Principal John Petree said all eighth graders are enrolled in various vocational arts classes and approximately 43 high school students are enrolled in the program.
Superintendent Steve Long reported that approximately $103,000 was left unspent from the 2003-2004 budget.
