Joe A. Reidhead the desk of the Superintendent From The following report is a report to the Board. It is not inclusive of all activities in the District. It is an attempt to give an overview of some of the major accomplishments of the past school year, some measure of evaluation of the year and an indication of projects and plans to be carried out during the 1970-7- 1 school year. As a new superintendent I feel that I have an advantage in giving an overview of the District and that I am at a disadvantage in not knowing the complete operation, tradition, etc,, which grows up and surrounds an organization. My general evaluation of the District is that it is basically a good district and that the majority of the personnel works hard to provide better education. I feel that we are not as well organized to take advantage of our opportunities as we should be. One of the things I have been impressed with is the positive attitude of the administrators in the District and the willingness to try to improve educational opportunities in the face of a rather difficult financial squeeze. I personally feel that we have had a good year and I am happy tobe associated with the Nebo District. I would like to also commend the Board of Education for the outstanding effort they make to study the problems and work to improve Nebo District rather than just tend the store. I appreciate the unity that the Board displays and the support they have given me as superintendent. There can never be a good school system without a strong Board of Education willing to establish sound policies and support their administrators in carrying out those policies. of the particular Some improvements and projects which have been accomplish i transportation facility,, revamping the transportation operation, district-wid- e studies on sex education and home work, preparations for moving modular scheduling into Payson High School and Spring-vil- le High School, a new' team teaching project at Springville Middle School, shifting funds to retain the R.C.C.D., a district wide reorganization which has reduced administrative costs, development of many new services on our data processing equipment, work on a long range site acquisition and building program, a comprehensive evaluation of the middle schools, development of several new administrative policies, publishing of a weekly district bulletin and increased emphasis on public relations, development of a pilot program of industrial arts in four elementary schools, reorganization of the summer maintenance progam, utilization of District facilities for community needs, and almost doubling the use of media. These are some of the major changes. There are many others. We still have many problems in the District and if we are ever able to reach a point where we cannot improve, then we are probably stagnated. Some of the problems we have failed I to solve include need for better organization and taking care of our grounds, a lack of adequate definition of job roles and responsibility of administrative staff, fragmentation of resources and programs, need for evaluation of counseling and pupil personnel services, the lack of a definite long range plan for vocational education, we have almost insurmountable building problems, we still need to improve our public relations program, we need to improve our inservice training programs for all employees, we need to complete the codification of District policies. Some of the ideas and plans which I would like to initiate next year include a complete study of our pupil personnel operation, completion of a long range building plan and hopefully a building bond election to begin implementation of the plan, establishment of a program for coordinating volunteers who work in the schools, implementation of the teacher leadership program, continued work and of individualization of indevelopment struction, development of a procedure of reporting and accountability for all administrative personnel, increased emphasis on improving the transportation system improving the schedule of meetings to allow more dialogue with principals, scheduling a monthly meeting with PTA leaders and consideration of a monthly public in- - move. Theyre looking for combs, sweatbooks, lunch money and looking for shoes. Is it exciting! Our biggest problem is the missing shoe. The kids get all ready for school except for their shoes. We usually find one right away, but it takes a little longer to find the mate. Those who are fortunate enough to have a complete pair join in the search to help someone else. Through past experience weve found that this missing shoe can be one of many places-undthe couch, piano bench, table, the TV, in the bathrooms, and occasionally in the closet where theyre supposed to ers, Between the Headlines By Shirlene R. Ottcsen er be. We try to remember to get all the shoes rounded up the night before and set out on the fireplace like the night before Christmas in Holland, and it sure does help. But the next morning it seems like a little something is missing without this usual ritual. Then theres the broken shoe lace, but thats another story for another column. I hope all of you are enjoying your summer.

Well, when you have kids in elementary, middle and junior high school it can mean a variety of things. It could be one of Dads old shirts to put on while finger painting; it could be gloves and a scarf to wear while going on a field trip to the library; it could be a shoe box full of egg shells to make a picture out of; it could be sea shells, cows teeth, a sovenir from a trip, cake coloring, newspapers, or a dozen other things. lace, ric-rBut thanks to the patient teachers, all these things come back home in pretty pictures, art work, puppets, gifts for Mothers Day, Valentines, Christmas or ironing board in use every that final rush to get books, and all the other stuff Youre probably wondering drown all fires.

Our kids catch the bus about 8:15 and were fortunate in that we can see the bus coming on a road to the north of us so that means that the kids have about three minutes to get out to the bus stop. So when The bus is down to somebody hollers, Crumps," boy -- - you should see five kids formation meeting, the development of a plan to coordinate the fragmented earmarked programs which are now so frustrating. I am sure that many more worthwhile projects will be initiated during the year, depending on finances and the availability of personnel and time to get the job done. I hope that the Board and the school community will continue to analyze the total District program and feel free to make such comments and suggestions as they deem appropriate.
