THE BOARD of Education em
phasized in its arguments that
it was seeking to provide for
children already enrolled in its
schools who would be filling the
high school shortly and that it
was seeking to protect an in
vestment of over $650,000 in a
school plant that could easily
become hemmed in by future
housing developments on sur
rounding property.
It pointed to developments in
the Carmichael Dr. area as in
