1975: Construction delays at junior high force split shifts

June 4, 1975: As a strike the by Iron Workers Local 111 continued into its fifth week, construction remained halted on the new North Scott Junior High building. With completion on the building now slated for no earlier than Oct. 1, the North Scott School Board voted to institute a split shift schedule for students in grades 7-12 so all students could start the school year in the high school building.  The shifts would run from 8 a.m. – noon and noon – 4 p.m., although no decision was reached on what instruction levels would go in the morning or afternoon.
