The Bradenton Herald Wednesday March 8 1978 lMBM 13 Ellenton group uncommitted on school bond referendum He said he felt the bond Issue was being sought at this lime because die needs of area schools

380 classrooms and wholesale repairs to existing schools has been impossible for us to keep up with the maintenance of our buildings and construct new buildings with the capital outlay funds we get from the state or our local Mills said "I will not stand here and tell you $115 million will meet all the needs By RON SMITH HaraM Staff Writar The Ellenton Area Civic Association took no official position on the proposed 115 million school bond issue Tuesday night after hearing a presentation from a county school administrator But there was a hint of skepticism in the handful of questions directed at Dr Virgil Mills director of planning reports and federal projects for Manatee County schools The question of how much bond money would be spent in the Ellenton-Palmetto area north of the Manatee River was among concerns Almost 50 persons attended the public information meeting which was called to acquaint area residents with the bond issue A countywide Mills replied that the two new elementary schools that have been proposed are for the west and southeast sections of tiie countv but that sites for future schools have yet to be determined He said the sites will be in areas with the greatest need for additional schools In response to another question Mins said the last school bond issue sought by the county was in 1972 when voters approved more than $6 million for improvements in the school system He was unable to identify any community organization that publicly has endorsed the $115 million issue "Certainly we would covet your support" he told members of the civic association area did not support our bond issue last time and I know why I appeal to you tonight though for your support" he said The Manatee County School Board has established that voting in the referendum will take place between 7 am and 7 pm April 4 we presently have or can forsee he said Mills warned that school districts will have to be rezoned and double sessions undoubtedly will be needed if the bond issue fails One person interrupted Mills to ask there anything In here to help us on this side of the river?" referendum on the $115 million issue which would be financed by
