Show t. Alpine School Dist. Board Ed Ucafional Productivity Project Presentation At PJIeeting liar. 9 The Alpine School District Board room and hall were packed with patrons who were anxious to hear the board and express their views on an innovative alternative educational plan. The three principals - Daniel K. Adams of Highland Elementary, Brent Milne of Bonneville Elementary, and Brian Page of Alpine Elementary - recently presented their productivity program to the State Board of Education and received their support and approval. 'Page explained to the board that with growing student population and shrinking budgets, creative ideas needed to come forth. "We have caused ourselves a chance to investigate different problems." A film was presented by Adams showing business and education productivity - quality control, research, technology, incentives and participation. He explained1) "The proposed school productivity plan would have children going to school four hours a day, and have the alternative to come the additional number of hours to a community com-munity educational program which would double the school's usage." He also said the proposal would cut the school day from the current 5'2 hours to four hours, with sessions running from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. During the community education phase, the students could take enrichment classes such as art, piano, foreign language, etc. Adams noted that the basic of the curriculum proposed iVi hours for language arts; hour for mathematics; VM hours for science, social studies and. reference skills; and xk hour for physical education; which would give a quality education. Four patrons addressed the board concerning the program. Spokeswoman for the Highland area, Ann Adamson, said the Utah Board of Education has mandated a certain number of hours for elementary and secondary students to attend school. ; "This provides each child in Alpine School District with 5.5 hours of free education a day under the direction of a certified teacher," Mrs. Adamson said. "The program presented here tonight would only give the children four hours a day of free education." Doug Warner, Bonneville parent, said he was worried about adequate funds for the community school. ' Paul Blacker, a patron of Alpine Elementary, said he took issue with those who said they could not afford the community school enrichment. He noted that in his area he sees boats, campers, and other recreational vehicles. Another patron from the Orem area, Rolayne White, said she and her husband were concerned with the education of their children and appreciated the open meetings the principals were conducting, giving patrons a chance for input. Adams explained to the board that by using creative help of the community resources, the Equality of education in this program would be 'surmountable. "If I thought our kids were going to be hurt I would not propose the program," Adams said. f Superintendent Max B. Welcker expressed his appreciation to the three principals for the work and time they had devoted to the project. He said their program was a result of a meeting with him over a year ago and their attendance at a Productivity Conference sponsored by the State Board of Education last fall. He told the principals that they would have to be innovative. President Dan Fugal said the purpose of the presentation at the special board meeting was purely for information. He suggested that action to .approve or disapprove the project be set for the regular board meeting on Tuesday, March 23.

For Cable Subscription Call: 226-2418 Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: Several issues impress me regarding the proposal for a four hour school day at Bonneville Elementary and two other schools in the district next year. I can see how some people are seriously considering the plan. The school will be used to a maximum during the winter months. It is cost efficient on paper. Of course, when you add extra maintenance costs, added teacher salaries and the extra hundreds of dollars parents will be paying out of their own pockets, one might wonder, cost efficient to whom. Actually, I'm all for those very good and dedicated teachers at Bonneville getting paid more, but I think offering them a choice of teaching ftVz hours while maintaining present salary or teaching 8 hours while earning salary and a half is very unbalanced. The basic problem here has always been that they need 12 month jobs. Benefits to parents are really confused. However, their voices won't be heard much after the political maneuvering of front page ' announcements in local papers that local, district and even Governor Matheson have approved the plan. When we were informed at meetings we were asked to give an immediate, no time to think about it, yes-no vote on a plan that was presented as if there were no viable alternatives. Yet we are the ones being double taxed by helping to pay for other children to have 6 hours of school and then pay extra to have our own children have an 'extra 5th hour . . at a cost that for most families will run into hundreds "of dollars each year. To have these 'enrichment' classes our children will have to walk back and forth from school at least twice a day to be taught in some instances by non-certified teachers. Yes, I can really understandwiy anyone of any clout is for this plan. After all, as Mr. Blacker pointed out at the Board meeting March 9, it isn't HIS children who are involved. I still maintain a high regard for Mr. Milne, chief author of the plan and principal of Bonneville Elementary. I merely feel he is using he very weighty influence in the wrong direction this time. You see, the only people who are really hurt by this program are the children ." . .and as we all-know, all-know, a child's influence on a political community is very limited. Few people are going to recognize what happens to them when they have no spelling instruction, when they don't have full hours of math and reading, when there is now time for extra instruction, when the positive aspects of school are taken away because ther is not time for assemblies, , physical education and just time of feel close to their xeachers. Then there are those children who can't afford the classes and those families who can't supervise getting 2-3 children back and forth from school a minimum of two times, a day. Then there is the delinquency rate that goes up in areas of split sessions, as shown in studies. Now I recognize that our school district has serious financial problems, but there are other alternatives. There are empty classrooms within walking distance of some students attending Bonneville, there is re-alignment of school boundaries, there is the building of a primary school on Bonneville school grounds, there is year-round school, there is busing, there are modular classrooms, there are even' ways to obtain more. funding. Please don't sacrifice my children's education for another "innovative" idea. Please don't insult my intelligence by offering more aerobic dance classes to get me to vote for the plan, don't offer computerized analysis of my child's performance because that doesn't impress me, don't offer me goal oriented teaching because I would hope my children receive that without the plan. Don't compare business productivity vs. educational productivity because no matter what wording you are using, we are still dealing with delicate human minds, not computers. Most of all, don't tell me my children no longer have a right to 5.5 hours of free education under a certified teacher because no matter what "creative" ideas have come out of this my children, along with all other children in this state still DO have that right. I hope that we as parents never loose sight of that priority. Mrs. Judy Merrill 1575 N. 650 W.
