Show t Park City School District Funds To Increase 19.8 Next Year The Newspaper I iwrsday, May 15, 1980 Page 9 Operating funds for the Park City School District will increase by $277,924 or 19.8 percent next year, as a result of the school finance legislation enacted by the 1980 Budget Session of the Utah Legislature. This was reported by Utah Foundation, Founda-tion, the private research organization, in their latest analysis of school finance in Utah. The report shows the estimated esti-mated operating funds for the Park City School district will amount to $1,681,086 or $1,253 per weighted-pupil unit during the 1980-81 school year. This compares with operating funds of $1,403,162 or $1,102 per weighted pupil unit in 1979-80. For the state as a whole, operating funds for the support of public schools in Utah have climbed from $178 million in 1970-71 to $503 million in 1980-81, an increase in-crease of 183 percent during the 10-year period. Inflation has been the major factor in this dramatic surge in school costs during the past decade, according to the study. If expenditures are expressed in terms of constant dollars per school child, the change during the ten-year period would amount to about 21 percent. Other factors contributing con-tributing to the increase are (1) liberalization of the retirement program and other fringe benefits for school employees, (2) reduction reduc-tion in the average class size, (3) establishment of new and expanded programs and services, (4) increases in the ratio of non-teaching and support personnel to classroom class-room teachers, and increases in-creases in other operating costs beyond that caused by inflation. Foundation analysts point out that because of special programs and allowances there are about 25 percent more weighted pupil units than there are actual pupils attending Utah schools. Consequently Con-sequently when costs are expressed in terms of actual pupils, the 1980-81 basic program will be equal to approximately $1,167 per pupil in average daily attendance. atten-dance.

But farmers who prefer peas, broccoli, cabbage cab-bage and other leafy vegetables vege-tables needn't, wait for the sun, as these vegies enjoy the cool and damp weather that has plagues us these past two weeks. According to a Salt Lake garden consultant, Park City's elevation is too high for growing melons, squash, cucumbers and corn successfully suc-cessfully for most farmers.

Step three is planting the seeds, this will vary with each vegetable you grow directions on packages should be followed religiously! religious-ly! , Gardener Melinda Allen of the Mother Earth News reported that when growing green vegetables the seeds should be "sown" in rows that are a foot or more apart, and to ensure continuous spring green harvest, seeds should be planted in two-week two-week intervals.

In addition to the increases for operations, the 1980 Utah Legislature raised state appropriations ap-propriations for school building build-ing aid from $13.2 million in 1979- 80 to $17,655,800 in 1980- 81. However, because of rapidly rising school enrollments, enroll-ments, state building formula formu-la entitlements had to be scaled back in order to conform with the funds made available. The Foundation study notes that the 1980 Legislature also changed the school finance law to permit all districts to divert funds from capital outlay levies to operating purposes. In the past only the Salt Lake City School District Dis-trict had been given this option. Building Workshop Offered at U of U Just when the sagging economy is lowering your spirits, along come the experts ex-perts to raise your consciousness. con-sciousness. Your energy consciousness, that is. According to the Utah Energy Office, natural gas bills in the state are increasing in-creasing an average of 20 percent per year consumers con-sumers now are paying twice what they did five years ago to heat their homes in Utah. In response to that alarming rise, the Utah Energy Office is co-sponsoring co-sponsoring a workshop Saturday at the University of Utah that will address various techniques that can help reduce a homeowner's energy use. On the agenda is Park City builder and developer Jim Doilney, who offered a solar seminar to local residents in February. The "Built to be Energy Efficient Workshop" will point out that energy responsive respon-sive building does not need to be expensive. Conserving energy can be a matter of proper site selection, weatherization, insulation, window planning and ventilation. ven-tilation. The workshop is designed to address the needs of architects, builders and lay consumers and is open to the public. The intent is to demonstrate that energy demand throughout Utah will be reduced by increasing in-creasing awareness of effective effec-tive and sensitive building design among both professionals and consumers. con-sumers. The workshop will be held in the Art and Architecture Building Auditorium on the University of Utah campus and will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The agenda includes a welcoming address, Introduction In-troduction to Efficient Housing Design; Climatological Effects upon Design; Planning, Zoning and Landscaping for Energy Efficiency and Building Sites; as well as talks given by various guests.

County Schedules Mass Meeting Republican County sChaiman, Al .Cooper urged alT citizens of "Summit County Coun-ty to become involved in the political process by attending attend-ing this year's Mass Meetings, which will be held at posted locations throughout the county, at 7:30 p.m. Monday, May 19th. For residents of the Park City, Snyderville and Parley's Summit area, Mass Meeting locations will be as follows for Republican Party members: Park City High School: Park City 1, residents from top of Main St., to 7th St.; Park City H2, from 7th St. to 13th St.; Park City 3, from 13th St. to Hwy. 248 city limits, including Thaynes Canyon and Prospector Village; Park City 5, from Park Meadows; south of Old Ranch Rd. to Hwy. 248, and all east of there.

Silver Ch; all North " of 1-80; Parley's Park 10, Snyderville; Snyder-ville; Summit Park; all east of 248. "With 1980 being a Presidential election year, as well as having Congressional, state, legislative, and two county commission offices up for election, this year's Mass Meetings should be especially important," Cooper pointed out. According to the Republican Chairman, "only a small number of Utah citizens usually take part in the Mass Meeting process. In order to elect the best qualified, most capable leaders, it is important that all concerned people have a voice in selecting District party officers and Convention Conven-tion delegates to insure such input."
