HIGH SCHOOLS WARNED -- Pamela Gray Bennett, director of the secondary school commission of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, told Plymouth officials at a joint board meeting last week that both of the town's high schools are in danger of being placed on probation by her agency, which accredits schools. Both Plymouth North and Plymouth South are now on warning status because overcrowding, outmoded science facilities, libraries too small for current enrollments, a dearth of academic elective courses and other issues are resulting in inadequate education for the town's high school students, Bennett said. Both schools will be asked to file a report by February demonstrating they are taking positive steps to address their problems, she said. She spoke to a joint meeting of selectmen, the School Committee, the Planning Board, and the town's building committee, which have been meeting throughout the summer to form a plan to respond to problems at the high schools. The meetings are evidence the town is working to deal with the shortcomings identified by her agency, Bennett said. -- Robert Knox
