Union school to close; Herriman may remain . The Jordan district board ot education Tuesday voted to close Union Elementary at the end of this school year and took under advisement a proposal to close Herriman Elementary. Students now attending Union Elementary will be split between four other elementary schools in the area, Oakdale, Mountview, East Midvale, and Midvalley. Oak-dal- e will open for the 1973-7school year. A large number of parents of students attending Union Elementary were in attendance at the meeting. Most voiced concern that they were not informed in advance that the school would be recommended to be closed and were concerned about the way that the children would be split into other schools and that no immediate plans were made to provide for a new school in the area. Supt. Donald J. Parr told the group that until the area is further developed that no plans' for a new school could be made because areas that have the greatest density of growth will have to determine the location of a new building. Supt. Parr presented a report from the state fire mar-shathat listed 24 deficiencies in the Union building that would have to be corrected before it could meet state building standards. He also, presented an estimate from Elden V. Talbot, an architect, that estimated that to make the necessary changes it would cost the district $553,-70to complete the changes.
