meeting were MGSD Board of Education Chairman Dr. Frank Fields, Assistant Supt. for Support
Services Roger Hyatt and Public Information Officer Annette Privette. Dr. Cummings said the new
wing at the intermediate school was progressing The expansion will consist of an arts and music

would be eliminated when the wing was completed. If additional space is needed in the future, ten
acres are available towards the back of the school. At the current time the school has an enrollment
of 915. The capacity when finished will be around 1,015 students, but Cummings said this would
not be until school year 2002.

14 classrooms were being built. He added that the class rooms were larger than usual because they
would be used for science classes.
