Show Wednesday, October 5, 1977 Page 3 Arts Festival May Change The Arts Festival Executive Committee met on Thursday, September 22 to evaluate this year's festival and make suggestions for improving or changing next year's event. The committee made several recommendations. 1. New Fee System It was decided to change the present system of charging a booth fee of $15-$25 and a 10 per cent commission fee on sales. It is difficult to process return fees for rejected rejec-ted artists and extremely difficult to police sales and get an accurate accounting from which to collect the 10 percent. It was recommended by the committee that a more favorable way, both to the artist and the chamber, would be to charge a nonrefundable non-refundable $15 application fee and an additional flat fee of 50 for those accepted in the show. 2. Dates The Committee felt it was important to set the dates for next year's festival now so that promotion work can be started star-ted as soon as possible. So... next year's festival will be August 12-20, with the 19th and 20th being slated for exhibitor days on Main Street. These dates will be released to Summit County officials, city officials, Utah Travel Council, etc. to avoid conflicts in scheduling events even-ts for this area. It was also recommended to try and send artist applications ap-plications out beginning December 1, in order to give artists a better chance to arrange their schedules to work with our festival. We will also advertise in specific artist's magazines to encourage en-courage additional applicants applican-ts from around the nation. 3. Positions For next year it was recommended, both by the Chamber Board and the Arts Festival Executive Committee, that there should be a marketing director in addition to the Arts Festival Manager. This person would be in charge of all marketing and promotion, to possibly include in-clude workshops, perfor- Utah Foundation Teachers Salaries Rise Teacher salary increases in Park City School District a total 78.5 per cent since 1972-73. Classroom teachers who began their teaching careers in the Park City School District five years ago have received salary increases totaling $4,935, or 78.5 per cent. This fact was reported by Utah Foundation, the private, nonprofit research organization in their annual survey of teacher salaries in Utah. The study shows that a teacher who began teaching in the Park City School District in 1972 would have received a starting salary of $6,289. In 1977-78, the same teacher with five years experience ex-perience would command a salary of $11,224. Approximately Ap-proximately $3,691 of this increase in-crease represents raises that have been made in the salary schedules during the past five years, with the remaining $1,244 accounted $r'$9P e"?n!' crements. According to the Foundation Foun-dation analysis, the above amounts were calculated for teachers with a bachelor's degree. Additional sums are provided for teachers who have acquired added academic training. For example, a teacher in the Park City School District with a master's degree and five years teaching experience ex-perience receives a salary of $12,375 this year, or $1,151 more than a teacher with only a bachelor's degree. Foundation analysts point out that the salary increases provided to Utah teachers during recent years have largely closed the gap that formerly existed between Utah and the surrounding Mountain States. During 1976-77, the average salary for classroom teachers in Utah was only 3.7 per cent below the average of the eight Mountain States, compared com-pared with a difference of 8.6 per cent in 1967-68. When allowance is made for the fact that Utah provides 5 per cent of the employe's share of retirement costs, a special .benefit not generally "Vvalable In thVother'lstates, Utah s average salarjr actually ac-tually is found to be slightly above the Mountain States averaee. This year salary schedules for classroom teachers in the Park City School District were boosted by an average of $785 or 8 per cent. In addition ad-dition to this general salary hike, most teachers in Park City School district who presently are not at the top of the salary scale also received annaul experience increments averaging another $411 per year. Thus, the total average increase for teachers who have not reached the top step on the salary schedule this year was $1,1, or 12.19 per cent. The Foundation study shows that the starting salary for a teacher with a bachelor's degree in the Park City School District is $9,276. This sum rises with experience and added academic training. A teacher with only a bachelor's degree could receive a maximum of $12,152 after 7 years. If the teacher obtained a master's degree the maximum could be as" high as $15,443.' These" amounts are for approximately ap-proximately nine months of actual service. mances and sale items suchi as posters and T shirts. i 4. Format It was decided to continue with the expanded expan-ded format we tried this year, including workshops, performances and various other arts experiences in addition ad-dition to the exhibitor days. . This year's festival served : as a learning experience for all involved in its preparation and should j provide a firm stepping stone to an even bigger and better festival next year.
