Whether one Is supportive or Is in opposition to the major changes sought financially and programmatically on a statewide basis this year is not my point of focus today. There are good arguments on both sides of those Issues. My specific concern today is the rural VjS. urban distinctions now being eliminated. n . r. . . Common sense tells any thinking person that small schools can offer competitive course selections only by use of one, or a combination of two curriculum approaches: 1. Expansion of course choices. This Is most often done simply by offering more classes. In small schools the result is smaller classes. Obviously the cost per pupil goes up under this option. 2. Expanded use of technology -operated e.g. computer all-sta- o, Hutchings honored Principal Alfred Mar shall learned this week that Susan Roberts and Steve Hutchings have been selected Recent admissions to the Milford Memorial Hospital were: February 20 - Nancy Small, Milford.

Under this approach, It Is not difficult to conclude that these items are expensive too, so costs are also high under this option. In the past: 1. We have benefitted financially by a state reimbursement formula which recognized high attendance e.g. our schools have averaged around 95 percent daily attendance as compared with some larger city attendance comparisons in the low 80 s. The outcome was a financial advantage for districts such as ours with good attendance. This year the legislature stopped that Incentive for getting students into schools. but Maybe Im a bit it seems a bit tough to teach the seems student who Isnt there sensible that funding should be tied to attendance . We will now be funded by how many names are on the rolls wont need to fuss about whether the students are in school or not do you get the picture? 2. Small districts have traditionally been provided with the same extra fundingas large districts to provide a central office administration of from 3 people (45 WPU). Excess above that minimum funding (for larger staff operations) has come from local funds. We don't need the larger staff operations but we certainly do need the basic funding.

Great Intelligence! I can Imagine the ruckus If students on the Wasatch Front were asked to ride a bus for 4 to 5 hours daily or were asked to move closer to the school.

Perhaps a the constitutional guarantee of equal opportunity for education ought to be pursued only problem with that Is that the money to fight the case would have to come from local money -- - yours and mine, and we have too little now.
