The Center for Field Studies at the School of Education made public yesterday the results of a nearly year-long study in Pittsburgh's public schools.
Their recommendations for a long-term education plan were presented to the city's Board of Public Education, which commissioned the study.
The researchers urged the board to spend $110 million--$42 million of which is to be contributed by the Federal government--to build five "education centers" and three "middle schools." The centers, which would be carefully located to avoid racial imbalance, would be super-high schools having student bodies numbering between 4000 and 6500.
The middle schools would serve grades 5-8. Students in these grades could also be accommodated in buildings now used as secondary schools after the planned centers are operating.
The report makes no specific recommendations for the fourth grade and below.
