It is hoped that the Budget Committee will consider the fact that the County Commission may be in need of these monies for mental health facilities, which determination wiH be made by you this fall when the Comprehensive Mental Health plan is submitted to you for approval. It is my further opinion that the United Fund committee should carefully consider the public relations effect of soliciting volunteer contributions from the general public on brochures indicating that Cache County Mental Health Clinic as a participant in the fund drive. It is reasonable to expect that some donors would expect that part of their contributions to go for this purpose. The above factors and others will have to be resolved by the Budget Committee of the United Fund as their decision will undoubtedly have great Impact on public confidence and the donating of funds In ithe future. A copy of this letter to the Cache County Commissioners from County Attorney Harris was sent to Miriam Parkine Also concerned wi!h attendance has been the Sky View High School Principal Steven Thruston, who says the responsibility of the school administrators is to provide a top quality curriculum for the students, not to be a watchdog for them. Thurston noted that over the past several years his staff his come up with same relevant and meaningful curriculum changes, ana that a proposal to the board of education recently was merely a continuation of that philosophy. Recently Thurston presented a proposal for study by the board which would change the attendance policy at Sky View high school and place mare responsibility on toe students ana the parents. The policy would be such that no excuses would be required by students, but the home would be contacted personally and by letter when the student is absent. It would then be the students and the parents responsibility to take care of attendance. Also under the policy, only a certain number of absences would be allowed before the student would lose complete credit for the semester. We want the students here and we want them to want to come, said the principal. We feel we have an obligation to let parents know when the student isnt here.
