FISHER By ROSELYN KIRK Parents from the FARMINGTON Kaysville and Burton Elementary Schools in Kaysville won a commitment from the Davis County School Board to table the decision for two weeks and reassess priorities before deciding whether to bus liKh grade students to another school. BUT THE board did approve boundary changes which will affect elementary students to five other elementary schools. The move to wait on the decision at Burton and Kaysville Elementary Schools may also affect boundary changes for students in Centerville as well, Deputy Superintendent, Lawrence Welling said. Boundaries in those schools as well as the Kaysville schools will not be set until a later date. The move to postpone the busing vote will also involve the scheduling of meetings with community representatives to work out other alternatives, the board said AN OVERFLOW crowd filled the auditorium at the school administrative in Farmington to put pressure on the board who two weeks ago had heard the recommendation of the administration to bus fifth grade students from the Kays-wll- e area to the Jennie P. Stewart School in Centerville to be completed this fall To representatives, one from each of the two schools addressed the board, each pointing out that parents felt the busing of students was unacceptable. Fleming of-lic- Hillstead, who represented Kaysville Llementary School, relied heavily on a letter from Dr. Russell Williams, administrator of the Davis County Mental Health organization. The letter pointed out that emotional stress and readjustment would result from children being transferred out of their area and bused to another school Mr. Hillstead said the Jennie P. Stewart School was almost 10 miles away HE ALSO argued that the long ride on the school bus, waiting at bus pick up acspots and curtailment of after-schotivities were disadvantages to be considered in the busing of students Cdrice Christensen, representing Burton School, questioned whether a lack of planning on the part of the board and ad- Oma E.

This organization operated the Kind Care Day Care Center in Layton until the state legislature gave the state Department of Education the responsibility for educating all mentally retarded people in Utah At the present time, the North Davis Association contributes money towards helping the mentally retarded dmg written statement of priority building Parents expressed concern over a decision also made by the board to accept a $4 2 million bid by Culp Construction, Salt Lake City for the construction of gymnasiums at Bountiful and Clearfield High Schools. Mr. Hillstead said 230 classroom modules could be constructed lor the same price. THEO Italasano, school board member, said construction of those facilities had been in the planning process for ten years and that the gymnasium facilities were "long overdue " She pointed out that secondary school needs are priority items and said the Woods Cross High School students have not had an auditorium although they have been in that building for six years You must realize that the school board is concerned about the entire district and that all schools have need, she said. IN TABLING the decision on tne busing issue for two weeks, Superintendent Ber-ne- ll Wrigley said the board will meet with small committees to discuss other alter natives The parents had asked for portable classrooms, but last month the board said that this alternative would be too expensive. In a letter written to parents in the area, the administration also said the rental of other sites in the area would be too expensive and also argued against putting children on double session. Sheryl Allen, school board member, in making the motion for tabling the decision, commented that parents sometimes tend to their children who need to be aware of change. over-prote- LUCILE Reading, school board president, urged parents to consider what the agitation and concern might be doing to their children.

Changes at the Pioneer Elementary will call for a transfer of 40 children living east of the Union Pacific Railroad trac and North of 225 North, including all of Jamaral Acres, to Wasatch Elementary next year Another 35 students attending Pioneer Elementary and living along South State Street and east of the railroad Hacks, south of 650 South will attend South Clearfield Elementary next year TWO transfer plans at West Bountiful Llementary will alleviate overcrowding problems there. Dr Welling said About 61 students living north of Pages Lane east of 700 West will move from West Bountiful to Meadowbrook School next vear About 15 students living along both will be sides of 500 South and west of transported to South Bountiful Elementary next year.

Ihese students probably will be bused. Dr Welling said IN CHANGES at Whitesides Elementary about 38 students living along Morgan and Knowlton streets, as well as those will be transported to living west of Layton Elementary next year. In approving the low bid on the Bountiful auditorium, Mrs Allen expressed concern that the bids were higher than the estimate which had been $1,185,000 for each building Culp Construction, the low bidder, bid the Bountiful gymnasium at $2,128,600 and the Clearfield gymnasium at $2,116,600. ASSISTANT Superintendent John S White said that since the construction had been almost a year in planning, construction costs had risen. The administration will review the capital outlay budget lurther to determine that funds are available before finally accepting the low bid for the gymnasiums as approved by ihe school board. A special treat was enjoyed Saturday by 388 Relief Society of members the Farmington Utah Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints.

SUNSET - This comReemphasized certain munity, like neighboring Clearfield, is in the process of ironing out its home occupation ordinance. SUNSET Mayor Norm Sant said Sunset's ordinance is too general and has asked the uty council to submit their ideas for improving it. The council is expected to discuss the matter at its next meeting, June 8. ID LIKE to see Sunset have an ordinance similar to Clearfield, but there are some facets of Clearfields ordinance that I dont agree For with, the mayor said example, Clearfields law prohibits use of garages and I feel that a garage is part of the home and certain business ventures should be allowed in them." businesses adding that automobile repair shops should not be allowed in home garages ITS important that home occupation businesses do not infringe on the rights of others or change the character of a residential neighborhood. Sunset has never had a large business district and home occupations have been a part of our city," he said The mayor noted that a levised ordinance several months ago allowed beauty and barber shops in homes but he feels that the revised ordinance is now a little too general and would like a efined one ordinance that will have control but still permit reasonable ventures, grb better-d- |
