The Citizens for Better School Planning was a civic organization, organized circa 1961, and was composed of residents from Fargo's north side.  The organization formed to protest the proposal to build the new high school in the northeast corner of Fargo.  The group defeated the proposal and achieved their goal of having the school built on the old Red River Valley Fair Grounds.

The records consist primarily of newspaper clippings but also has pamphlets and correspondence that documents the organization's activities.  The collection also includes a transcript of a 1961 television show paid for by the group as well as a PTA Study Committee report regarding the need for a new high school.
