A continuing building program has modernized all ten schools. Attractive classrooms and teacher facilities are characteristic of each shcool building in the system. Group Hospitalization and Health Plans are available on a payroll deduction plan, partially paid by the county. Teachers are reimbursed for graduate credits according to specified rates in the negotiated contract.
