The seven-member ad hoc committee charged with studying the possibility of cutting the Lehi High School area out of the Alpine School District got a feasibility study Tuesday from Brigharn Young University's Uni-versity's Marriott School of Management. Four students stu-dents from the school have been studying for several months the impacts of creating cre-ating a new, smaller school district. No matter how they looked at it, divorcing the district will be financially messy, Jan'ce Houston, one of the students, told the committee. Now the study is done, the committee will digest the financial information, determine what will happen hap-pen to teachers and staff in the split and make a final recommendation to the Utah County Commission on June 29. Commissioners will decide if the issue will appear on the ballot in November. "I'm afraid this portrayal says it's totally out of the question and not financially viable when there are other things that could make a huge difference in the bottom bot-tom line," said Rep. Dave Cox, R-Lchi, a committee member, school teacher and the sponsor of the law that allows for district splitting. A new district wouldn't be all bad, however. The study points out that the new district would be smaller small-er and could be successful with the right combination of local control and leadership. leader-ship. Also, it could become a pilot district and eligible for extra federal funding. The BYU students reported that residents of the proposed new district, which would be called the Pioneer School District, would see significant tax increases up to 89.5 percent per-cent while taxes for residents resi-dents of the remaining Alpine School District would steadily decrease. By 2010, Alpine School District taxes would be 16.6 percent lower than they are today. Taxes would decrease in the Alpine School District and increase in the new district dis-trict because of growth and assessed values. According to the study, the value of a home in the Pioneer district averages $128,000, and there is little commercial development in the area. Values in the rest of the Alpine district average $163,900, and the area has most of the commercial development in the current district. Also, the enroll ment in the Pioneer district is projected to grow faster than the rest of the Alpine School District. Those tax rates assume that the new district would bond for an average $12 million per year, and the Alpine district would bond for an average $20 million per year. The Alpine district now bonds for an average $35 million per year. Property Prop-erty taxes pay for capital projects through bonds. Cox said property taxes might not have to climb that much. The new district would have thousands more elementary school students than secondary school students, stu-dents, who are more expensive expen-sive to educate, so the district dis-trict would save money. Rob Smith, committee member and business administrator for the Alpine School District, disagreed. dis-agreed. He said the impact on taxpayers won't change because of the number of elementary school students versus secondary students. The study uses a constant amount for state funding, and that takes into account other unknown costs, such as students. The increased taxes could create a disincentive to move into the area, Houston Hous-ton said. It also could decrease home values, making mak-ing houses harder to sell because of the higher tax rates.
