A recent patron survey conducted by the would be phased in over a four- to five-year period, with a total district indicated that some two-thirds two-thirds of those surveyed would be willing to increase taxes in order to accommodate the district's enrollments. "The students are coming whether we pass the bond or not," concluded board president JoDee Sundberg. "We realize that this places an additional burden on taxpayers, but we hope the public will support us on what we feel is an inescapable necessity." "If the bond doesn't pass, well have to find other ways to handle students, whether it be double sessions ses-sions or busing." "I think we have a moral obligation obliga-tion to go for the bond," said board member Marilyn Kofford. "We ' have junior high schools bigger than high schools; elementary schools bigger than junior highs. If it (the bond) fails, at least we tried." Prior to the approving of the resolution, many Lehi residents spoke at the public input portion of the meeting, asking the board to use bond monies to construct a new high school in Lehi, not just add on to the present one. "Lehi currently sits on 20-acres of land with no room to expand," said Claire Walker. "Taxpayers money would be better used with some forward looking to solve the problem, instead of making a quick fix that in the long run is really not going to work." American Fork and Pleasant Grove High Schools both have 40-acres 40-acres so have room to expand. Another resident asked that they use the present high school for a junior high and build a new high school.
