Citizens for Better Education Presents Survey Results With Recommendations to Board of Education Findings, recommendations and questions were presented to the school board of Alpine school district by the Citizens for Bet'er Educa'ion at the recent re-cent Board of Education meeting. meet-ing. Citizens for Better Education Educa-tion is an organization of interested, in-terested, independent c'tizens which recently completed a survey of Orem schools. "We were curious to find out just what was the situa-t'on situa-t'on with our schools," said an officer of the group, formed form-ed March 1962. Their goal is improvement of the schools, according to Mrs. Lee Engle-k'ng, Engle-k'ng, president. Mrs. Betty Munschel is vice president; Ms. Raymond Evans, program chairman; Mrs Blain Greaves, secretary, and Mrs. Ralph Dixon, treasurer. Members Interviewed teachers, teach-ers, school administrators, and workers in seeking facts regarding re-garding build'ngs, libraries, clerical departments , counseling, counsel-ing, custod'ans, student councils, coun-cils, fae'lities and equipment. All schools of Orem were surveyed sur-veyed in May of this year, and the findings were compiled compil-ed during the summer. Strongly recommended by the grouo is a full-day first erade. School officials replied that this Is one of the three paramount needs with which the district is most concerned, and lack of funds prevents this at the present time. I Orem has 15 makeshift classrooms, the group revealed, asking what is being done to alleviate this condition. Can we eliminate or reduce some of the costs on new buildings, and use that money to remodel other buildings? Why are some schools built in an adequate area of the district when there's a crying need else where in the district- they asked. The board pointed out that in recent years $8 million has been spent in Orem, and $9 million in the other three towns. The possibility of sending send-ing students by bus to the less populous schools was not mentioned. men-tioned. . Asked about a central kitchen kit-chen for lnca-1 schools, officials said they had inve?tigated the good and bad points of the system in use in Granite school district, and felt that it would probably not pay off here. Could a central library be incorporated in any of our schools? No, said officials, not until the district has more money. "We believe every district should have some type of experimental ex-perimental program in progress pro-gress such as team teaching, television, machine teaching, etc. Do we have any?" the board asked. The new junior high school now being built is designed to incorporate new teaching techniques, the board said. Facilities being built into the building will make possible other innovations in teaching. It will be roughed in for TV, as in the new Scera Park school.

What does the district do to ac'ively procur teachers? Does it interview only those who cfrme of their own accord to the district? The board feels that it is better psychology if he teachers come to them. There is little active recruitment recruit-ment outside the district. Is encouragement and appreciation ap-preciation shown teachers by the board? According to the group's survey, only four teachers rated the cooperation excellent, and 28 rated it good. A fair rating was given by 74 teachers, while 81 rated it poor, and 36 declined to an-swerrThe an-swerrThe board assured them it would make every effort to improve this. What about the three-con tract approach to salary? This has been considered by the board, but they are not sure It is the answer. Even the teachers are divided on the auestion, which would offer a nine-month, ten-month Oi career-type contract for teach ers. The public needs to be bet ter informed about board policy, the citizens organiza tion declared. A policy manual is published by the board and coDies of it are at each school and in the school board office, officials said. These may be read by the public. Policy toward student dis cipline seems to rest with the individual school rather than the district, it was noted. Students Stu-dents are rarely expelled, but may be released from school after discussion of the problem with the student, parent, teacher, principal and minister or bishop. Such release does not give the student a black mark on his record. The citizens group recom mended that fringe benefits, specifically the Insurance program, should be more fully ful-ly explained to the teachers. Superintendent Dan Peterson Peter-son said the board felt the three primary needs of the d'strict were at full-day first grade and elementary libraries both recommended by the committees, and a seven-period seven-period day for secondary schools. He said these three programs, together with others recommended by the committee, com-mittee, could be put into operation with additional funds. The citizens committee would like surveys of this type extended to other towns in the district.

Status 0( Orem Court Changed The status of the Orem City Justice Court wa3 changed by me urem city Council Monday Mon-day with the passage of an ordinance or-dinance which created an Orem City Court capable of handling a wider variety of judicial matters. The Ordinance elevating the status of the court was proposed pro-posed by City Judge Merrill Hermansen as a means of expanding ex-panding the service of the court to the community. Under the ordinance, the city judge who heretofore has b?en appointed by the Orem City Council, will be elected by the people in a municipal election. Run For Election Thus, Judge Hermansen who has served by appointment for the ' past three months, must run for election at the next citv election In November, 1963.
