Latterner says this plan should decide how to get the most for the district's money; should study the proper ways to attract, pay, or dismiss teachers, and should decide what makes up a good education. Latterner Latter-ner believp his 30 vpars in Parrel Burns adult education qualifies him for those tasks on the board. "The school board could use some good management," manage-ment," Latterner told The Newspaper. With a school population of about 3,600 predicted for 1990, he said, Park City can no longer be considered a small town. The school district, he declared, must (1) define a basic philosophy, (2) develop the means of implementing im-plementing it, and (3) sup port the administration in using it. ("The day-to-day matters are not the function of the school board," he said.) "A basic philosophy isn't cast in concrete, but if you don't have a good plan, you're spinning your wheels," he added. He is not concerned, he said, with this special music program or that math class. "You should have an interest beyond getting get-ting your child represented," represen-ted," he said. A long-range plan, he indicated, in-dicated, should answer questions like these: How does the district get the most for its money? Does it utilize specific or general bonds? In the next few years, Latterner said, people will not be able to call for lower taxes and greater services ser-vices at the same time. "If people have to be honest with themselves, they won't talk about cutting the mill levy," he said. What kind of education should we have? How much academic and how much vocational? Latterner said students should be given as broad a base as possible, but he also cited the need for basic skills. "There are businesses that pay me to teach their employees how to write a letter," he commented. comment-ed. How should teachers be treated? Currently, said Latterner, Lat-terner, the district is not able to attract good instructors. "A teacher should not be paid as little as possible," he said. "It's sad when you supplement a teacher's-basic teacher's-basic pay with low-cost housing." He also dislikes the dismissal of teachers without hearing. "It's legal, but it's an immorality that should not be." Latterner said he's lived "in and out" of Park City since 1972 with wife Gwen, who is herself a 20-year resident. They moved here permanently in June, 1979. Latterner has held various titles in Training and Development for International Inter-national Telephone and Telegraph (ITT). He developed and implemented a complete training program for the Arctic Distant Early Warning Line, the UAR Telecommunications Institute, In-stitute, and Latin American subsidiaries of ITT. Latterner Latter-ner has authored several programmed texts, and is a member of many organizations organ-izations inlcuding the Society for Applied Learning Techniques and the C.G. Jung Foundation for Analytical Psychology. Latterner is seeking the school board post, he said, for "the personal gratification grati-fication of seeing people progress and grow." He is not interested in educating his children, who have already graduated. "I'm interested in-terested in educating all the children." 'Board Could Play More Active Role In Personnel Matters' college or for a vocation." Burns argues that the upper-level students should face more demands and be given more direction. He thinks too many students are drifting through school, thanks to a just-give-them-the-grade-and-pass-them-through philosophy in the system. He believes the same principles prin-ciples should be applied at the elementary level. "You start preparing kids for what they're going to do from the first grade on through.". , . He was asked whether he was satisfied that the younger young-er students were getting an adequate background in the basics. Burns replied that his role as a father of school children did not qualify him as an expert. ex-pert. "If I'm elected to this position, I'll spend more time in researching why, when and what has been going on," he said. If elected, Burns would also like to see a change in emphasis in athletic programs,' putting less weight in some areas and more weight in others. "I think too much emphasis em-phasis is placed on com petitive athletics," . he. said.i "( think football and basket-.' ball are overplayed. Here we have two resorts nearby and Park City does not field a ski team." 'Sept. 4th thru 14th Salt Lake City ft i "mm vy ' t JULIUS WECHTER and the BAJA MARIMBA BAND Darrel Darrel Burns of Silver Creek Estates is the owner of a tool design company, and believes that his experience in managing employees would be a valuable asset to the Park City Board of Education. Burns, a candidate for Precinct Four representative, represen-tative, thinks the board could play a more active role in personnel matters, and that he could provide important impor-tant input. "I've worked for myself for a lot of years, and I've hired and fired a lot of people," he said. Burns was born and raised in the Park City area, and graduated from Park City High School. His two oldest daughters also graduated from the high school, and he has three other children still in the system. Burns In light of the recent dispute over rights of un-tenured un-tenured teachers, Burns believes there could be a better bet-ter "employee-employer relationship" between the teachers and the board. "I think problems can be resolved without them saying, 'We're going to turn around and sue you,'" he said. Burns is one of. those not satisfied by the current level of education in the Park City School District. "I feel we need to upgrade the scholastic ability of the children before they graduate from high school," he said. "They need better classes, and not only those who want to go on to college. Everyone is not geared for college." "I think more emphasis can be placed either for USSA Moves To Park City The national headquarters of the United States Ski Association (USSA) has been moved from Denver to Park City. According to an announcement announce-ment from the association released last week, the move was prompted by the decision deci-sion last June to reorganize the USSA from nine regional divisions into two national divisions, Sports and Competition. Compe-tition. The Competition Division, also known as the U.S. Ski Team, is already housed at the Treasure Mountain Inn in Park City. The Sports Division now is also located at the same facility as of Sept. 1. The Sports Division of the USSA is responsible for organizing citizen races such as the cross-country events fS4 UKF held on the golf course last winter. It also handles an extensive travel program offering charter flights and package ski trips for its members. At present the USSA has about 80,000 members. The group hopes to expand to more than 250,000 members within the next three to five years. The Park City staff is expected to expand from an initial core of two to three people. All membership processing will be located at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Major Sports Division functions will be maintained at the region office in Los Angeles for the current season. Other USSA Sports Other USSA Sports Division offices are located in Chicago, Chi-cago, Seattle and Brattle-boro, Brattle-boro, Vermont.
