junior high and high school courses. Currently in the grades <br />eight through twelve 136 credit courses are available. The City <br />and the County have under construction a vocational technical <br />school to be operated jointly after the completion of which a <br />total of 176 credit courses will be available for high school <br />students. <br />The Charlottesville school system maintains an adequate <br />staff of psychologists, resource teachers and language skills <br />teachers to assist pupils who are retarded or who have learning <br />or emotional disabilities. <br />The City currently operates six elementary schools, the <br />Jefferson School which is for sixth graders, two junior high <br />schools and one high school. In addition, there is currently <br />in planning a new high school with expected availability by <br />September 1973. The City's school facilities can easily be <br />expanded to provide for the children of the City and the annexa- <br />tion area. <br />Consolidation of the schools in the proposed annexation area <br />and their management, teaching and instructional personnel with <br />programs and opportunities afforded in the Charlottesville schools <br />is the only feasible way that adequate provision can be made for <br />children attending schools in the metropolitan area and for raising <br />the educational and training level required for the metropolitan <br />area as it becomes more urbanized and more industrial and commercial <br />enterprises locate in the area. <br />-16- <br />
