Teachers turned down what was billed as the board of educations final offer by a 0 margin at a meeting Friday night in the Granite 659-31- High School auditorium, with less than half of the districts teachers voting. Under a previous decision by the Granite Board of Education, the teachers rejection of the offer will mean that the board will withdraw, and Dr. T. H.

Meanwhile, teachers in Carbon School District were scheduled to consider the latest offer from the Carbon Board of Education this afternoon at 4, with a meeting between the two negotiating teams scheduled at 8:30 p.m. In the Uintah District, the third Utah district yet to reach contract agreements, a negotiating session has teen scheduled for Tuesday at 11 a.m. Utah Education Association officials are expected to join regular negotiators.
