Show James Moss points to map showing new plan. School Board Approves Redistriction Plan In their recent March Board Meeting,' the Alpine School Board approved a voter reapportionment plan that would give Orem two new board members and put two current board members out of a job next year. The redisricting plan now goes to the Utah County Commission for final approval on March 31. James R. Moss, member of the Advisory Council to the Board of Education, outlined the recommended boundary changes. Dr. Max. B. Welcker, Superintendent of Alpine Schools, explained, "Every ten years reapportionment takes place and it is necessary for the Board of Education to make a recommendation regarding the reapportionment to the Utah County Commissioners." "The total population of the district is 93,979 with 59 percent of the district in Orem and Lindon (Orem population is 52,810 and Lindon population is 2,817)," Moss reported. The proposal would significantly redistrict existing precincts according to Moss. Moss reported that the plan would realign central and south Orem, recognizing the division between east and west Orem along State Street. "It would also reduce the fragmentation of Orem and Lindon by creating one precinct that would include all of North Orem and all of Lindon. The plan also divides North Orem from Pleasant Grove - a current precinct that has the largest population with the most potential for future growth. ' "The proposal would help insure that future growth within the district would be proportionate to the precincts," Moss explained. The proposal calls for West Orem to be in one precinct; East Orem in a precinct; North Orem and Lindon in another precinct; Pleasant Grove and South American Fork in a precinct; and Alpine, Cedar Fort, North American Fork, Highland and Lehi in a precinct. Moss said that because of large lot requirements in Alpine and Highland, growth expectancy in the north end of the county is not as great as other areas in the school district. President Fugal praised Moss for his work and the Board for approving the plan. "I believe this shows that the Board cares more about the district that it does of personal considerations," he said. He added that no district may be changed or altered within 90 days of an election, but since filing for schoolboard positions ends on June 30, "We would hope that any redistricting could be accomplished early enough for map preparations prior to the filing times," Fugal said. Drivers License Course Starts Monday, April 5 The April driver training course for adults who have never driven before or who do not now have a driver's license will begin Monday, April ; 5, at Utah Technical College at Provo.

The classes will meet daily 5:30 - 7:30 Monday through Thursday. Thur-sday. This will enable completion of classwork by the end of the month. Tuition is $65 for the course.

In the motion passed by the board, the productivity program was referred back to the district and the individual advisory councils for further study. "Details, mechanics and feasibility of voluntary participation would be developed in public meetings by the district administrators under direction of the Superintendent and in cooperation with patrons in the three areas," the motion said. More than 400 parons attended the board meeting to hear parents and the board discuss the productivity program. Most patrons attending the meeting were in favor of the pilot program. Kathy U'ren asked that the program be mandatory. "We do not want to manaate this program for anyone. We hope it can be worked out and those wanting the pilot program can have a chance to try it," said Daniel B. Fugal, Board President. Bruce Watts, patron from Highland, said it was time people realized that "we cannot continue to tax the people enough to keep the traditional education as it has been in the past." A Highland parent told the Board that the meeting was "stacked" by those who supported the program. Fugal noted that the last board meeting was probably stacked with the opposition. President Fugal told the audience that the Board had received more letters and phone calls on the productivity issue than on any other issue the board has faced. The project will have students in elementary attend four hours of schooling in the basics in either the morning or afternoon. During the other half of the day, enrichment classes in art, music, computers, etc. would be available through a community effort. Each enrichment class will cost between $6 to $10. Dr. Heaps, board member, explained that the details of the volunteer program will be brought back to the Board at its regular meeting on April 27. "Until the Board knows exactly how many students wish to enroll in the program, the board will not know how to assign building space, bus schedules, or teacher needs," said Heaps. Dr. Max B. Welker, District Superintendent, reported that special elections in the three school areas showed that 75 percent of the Bonneville parents supported the program, 56 percent of Alpine and 75 percent of Highland were opposed to trying the productivity plan. Dr. Welcker said he could see advantages to the program. "Those who want the program should have the opportunity to try it," he said. Alpine District cannot maintain the status quo with the outstanding growth. "We do not have the funds to draw upon that we have had in the past," Dr. Welcker said. He noted, "Alpine District is last in the state in their ability to pay, we rely on 75 of our operating budget from richer districts in the state. Alpine District has the distinction of being one of the fastest growing districts in the state. The well is going to run dry and we will not continue to have the funds we have been receiving," Welcker said. "We will have to look at many different fronts to solve our financial problems," the Superintendent noted. Squaw Peak Scouts Sponosor Shoivando The Squaw Peak District is sponsoring a 'Showando' for adult leaders to be held at Camp Maple Dell April 30 and May 1. This event involves dens, patrols, and squads from each stake in the district in an overnight camp. This program has received new emphasis since it is now required of all those planning to attend 'Wood Badge'. Those wishing to attend may receive information in-formation from their ward scouting coordinator coor-dinator about times, fees, and other requirements. Registration will be done through the Stake Young Men's Presidents at the Squaw Peak District Roundtable on April 8, final deadline April 15. The 'Showando' experience will give scout leaders an opportunity to learn and practice many skills such as campfire programming, patrol cooking, outdoor crafts, etc. Each den, patrol, or squad will spend time together learning the patrol method preparatory for the 'Wood Badge' experience. It is suggested that a 'Key Scouter's Meeting' be held in each ward to determine how may cub, scout, or varsity leaders wish to attend. The Stake YM-MIA president can make up dens, patrols, and squads from the ward people. Then if car pools are used, money and parking space will be saved. r 'A ' ft Orem-Geneva Times Thurs., April 1, 1982 geii Mi .
