Fall Opening Off For Huron High

Hurón High School will not open this f all. The Ann Arbor School District's planner-expediter, Sooren Gozmanian, made official last night what had been apI parent for several weeks. He told the Board of Education that because of the labor strikes which began May 1 and have not yet been settled, Ann Arbor's second high school "definitely will not open in September." There is a possibility that Huron High will not open by the winter semester of 1969, either, iGozmanian said. But this has not yet been officially determined. [ Gozmanian said he and Charles W. Lane, one of the kr chite ets for Huron High School, will decide within a week or two whether the school could be opened by February of 1969. Supt. W. Scott Westerman Jr. said that alternative plans for classes at Pioneer High School this fall will be revealed at the next Board of Education meeting, probably next week. One of the alternatives being considered by school officials is a doublé shift at Pioneer. This arrangement would separate the Pioneer and Huron students into two different groups, with both "schools" being separately run and separately staffed. One "school" would be open from early morning to early afternoon, the other from afternoon to early evening. Huron High was originally scheduled to open last fall. Gozmanian said the length of the labor strike is "impossible to predict." It may be over to-l morrow, he commented, and could continue for weeks. Gozmanian also informed thd school board that the opening of Martin Luther King Jr. EleJ mentary School, at the interJ section of Green Rd. and Gla-I cier Way, will be delayed be-l cause of the strike. The build-j ing had originally been sched-l uled to open its doors this Sep-j tember. The planner-expediter did notl give a revised opening date fon King School. Gozmanian did give one pieca of good news to the trustees] There is "no question," he said, that Scarlett Junior High School will open in September. The school is in "very good" shape, he declared. The opening of that school, however, is also behind original schedules.
