MICKELSEN FARMINGTON Three state prison inmates, unhappy with conditions at the Davis County jail, were recently ordered to serve out back to the remainder of their sentences. ALTHOUGH Sheriff Johnson admitted the jail is understaffed, he said additional state prisoners have not been a problem. Housing the inmates doesn't require any more effort, he said. Prisoners moved to the Davis County jail are strictly minimum security." he said, and are serving out the last days of their sentence. ACCORDLNG to Sheriff Brant Johnson, the inmates kicked off a disturbance in their cells several weeks ago due to a lack of recreational activities and library materials at the jail. At he said, the inmates have access to library facilities and a number of recreational programs. The trio was returned to the state prison facility after they became unruly and began banging on their cell bars. Want To Bum?

If the local prison population at the jail goes down. Sheriff Johnson said he would like to continue supplementing the population with inmates from the state. HE SAID he is considering asking the county for more money to hire additional jail personnel. The current jail capacity is 101 prisoners, more than double the space available prior to completion of the new Farmington annex. Sheriff Johnson said there are too many demands being placed on jail personnel and not enough time to handle the number of problems that arise. DURING THE past three months, Davis County has housed up to 15 inmates from the prison. Sheriff Johnson said there are now seven prisoners being housed, but added, "we probably won't bring any more out because our (jail) population has been increasing. The plan is part of a statewide effort aimed at reducing the number of inmates at Heights citizens should contact Fruit Heights City office, 5464)861.

And that, says Sheriff Johnson, "is quite a sizeable amount." IF BRINGING additional state prisoners then I wouldnt allow it." Up to this point, he added, there hasnt been a problem. in added to that burden, he said, Hollow check with Davis ASKED whether or not the county commission approves of housing additional inmates, Chairman Ernest Eberhard said, we approve generally, I think." It's a help to our budget, that's for housed 15 prisoners. Money collected from the state, he said, goes back into the county general fund. Members of the Davis County Commission are then responsible for determining sure." rgy By TOM BUSSELBERG FARMINGTON Year round schools may be an alte- rnative to help meet the burgeoning enrollments anticipated in the Davis District within the next few years, but theres doubt on some sides that much would be saved in the process. BECAUSE OF continued projections that district enrollment will accelerate at more than even the ,000-pla year experienced in the past, the board of education has set a March 30 bond election, where voters will have a chance to say "yea or nay to a $40 million bond authorization. It would mean no increase in taxes, school district officials 1 emphasize, and would only, allow the board to sell those bonds as needed over the next five-seve- n years. THE DISTRICT has been studying other alternatives to a continued building program that has seen completion of one junior high last year and planned opening of another this fall, for instance. But Assistant Supt. Gayle Stevenson has indicated new schools will be needed along with other alternatives to stay in the ballgame" of educating stu- dents close to current quality levels. About 30 Davis County delegates attended a convention d schools outlining last August in Orem. Representatives from Colorado who participated in two forms of the program provided input. year-roun- WHILE MANY advantages were raised, ranging from the d ability to house up to more students in a secondary school to the chance for some students to attend school lon one-thir- ger per year and study tional courses addi- cost-savin- didnt show up at the forefront in advantages. Bernell Loveridge, Davis District energy coordinator, has said the cost of air condi-- . tioning our schools to make then endurable for year round use would be astronomical." AT AN 18 percent annual electricity bill increase, he estimates energy costs without air conditioning would be $5 million by 1985, vs. less than half that now, and would total $7.1 million with air conditioning. In eight years, that would total $1 1.5 million without and $16.2 million with. He estimates the extra cost of operating air conditioning systems at $25 million by 1990, and according to a study of Denver area schools, air conditioning added to buildings increased electrical consump- - tion 61.2 percent. In addition, turning lights on during the summer can add up to ten degrees temperature. IT WOULD cost $ .2 million 1 to air condition Viewmont High School, $400,000 for North Davis Jr. High and $200,000 for the average elementary school. Total cost would be $17.6 million. While the swamp-coole- r method would only cost $7 million, it has several drawbacks, Mr. Loveridge has noted. When humidity is high and rooms are crowded a saturation point is reached nullifying any cooling. Heat loss during the winter could be high with swamp coolers, as well. Three-nin- e months per school would be needed to install either system and up to five years to wire the entire district, he says. TWO PLANS were outlined in the Orem meeting. In the struction and two vacations at opposite times of the year. The student school year is 172 vs. 180 days although students can receive additional up to 235 days. 5 plan students are divided into four equal sessions with enrollments kept as even as possible. School operates 240 days vs. 180 with students 45-1- attending three consecutive quarters. Each section of students is enrolled in four, y sessions with each session foly lowed by a vacation. Sections rotate so three groups n are in school and one on with all students having some vacation during all four seasons and a common vacation during part of June and July. vac-tio- IN THE plan, two-thir- Concept Six of the stu- dents attend school at one time with a third group on vacation. School operates on six, y terms with students attending four of six terms, usually two consecutively. Students normally take two blocks of in Teachers normally contract for a . 184-da- y minimum. PANELS AT the confab agreed that studies indicate test scores are no higher, in general, for their students, though, the potential for more learning exists than under traditional programs. One student who experienced the program said she enjoyed the variety in classes under Concept Six where classes can be changed every two months. A student may have the same chemistry teacher all year, for example, but take English composition one block and literature the next. A principal said the student dropout rate went down a CM great deal" while attendance and participation in extracurricular activities remained constant. He said emphasis was placed more on the individual rather than how good the choir would be, for example. Under Concept Six teachers can opt to teach up to 225 days a year but he said "well under 20 percent" are teaching five quarters. v 5 UNDER THE plan, participating teachers felt they were one up" on traditional-prograinstructors with one calling the rhythm and pacing of four blocks "very beneficial," thinking its more productive, although, better planning is necessary. He said stu45-1- m dents are really ready and can look forward to the next block with virtual elimination of "make-u- p time" to review material required after three months vactions. Students from the same family were generally placed in the same block with neighborhoods assigned to a block. A choice of blocks was also generally given. STRONG community involvement was needed to set up recreational programs that would coincide with block breaks, and co-o-p babysitting set up. Parents were involved in original planning although some problem with family vactions resulted, it was noted. About 200,000 elementary and secondary students are end rolled in programs year-roun- across the county with the program's high point coming in 1976 when districts in 28 states participated. Its declined to "at least 19 states still with the program in some areas. JEFFERSON County, near Denver, is probably the district with the largest participation at 32 schools and 30,000 students. |
