Look Back ... to Anniston schools' plan to spend $1.7M, 1999

Jan. 6—Jan. 6, 1949, in The Star: Dr. E. L. House of the Division of Dental Hygiene in Montgomery, will be in Anniston next week to help in the organization of a new dental clinic for Black children, says Dr. G. A. O'Connell, director of the Calhoun County Health Department. He will also help complete plans for a mobile dental unit to be installed for a month in one of the city schools. It will use a sodium fluoride treatment for the prevention of cavities. Also this date: Approximately one-sixth of the student body at Jacksonville State Teachers College made the dean's list for the fall quarter, it was announced this week. To be eligible for this list, grades must average a 'B' or above. The quarter ended shortly before the Christmas holidays.

Jan. 6, 1999, in The Star: All five school systems in Calhoun County have had their five-year capital improvement plans approved by state authorities — freeing them to draw on their shares of state school bond issue money for planned projects. Anniston wants to use its share, about $1.7 million, in the context of its long-range strategic plan to close and sell Anniston Middle school as well as the old houses that provide space for the school system's central office just north of the high school. Money would be spent adding classrooms on the city's elementary schools to make them K-8 and building a new central office somewhere else.
