Roxanne Lawson, another anoth-er patron, asked, "What happens if there is a need for a high school?" Bradford said there will be an addition to Lehi High School and the other school's should still have the capacity to hold enough additional students. "That will most likely be included in the next bond in five or eight years," he said. Bruce Armstrong from the Lindon Elementary PTA said he felt the survey may have been skewed to get the results the school district wanted. The Alpine Life and Learning Center was also discussed: It will have to be moved soon from its current location to a new site in Lindon, on 1600 North. Cardon also mentioned later that he felt the district had no concern for the taxpayers. tax-payers. "There are social security recipients you should factor in. You ought to consider we are your employers." "The state has many programs," pro-grams," said Bradshaw. "No one has lost a home in the state of Utah" due to ' increased property taxes. The PTA president from Grovecrest said she was concerned that not all of the work had been completed at Grovecrest with the money from the '98 bond. "Some things were promised, that's why we voted." She wanted to know if there were some way patrons could be updated on how the school district uses the bond money. Kay Clark, Grovecrest principal, said, "I want to applaud the board for forward for-ward thinking and implementing imple-menting costs in. increments incre-ments that will be more affordable and manageable." manage-able." Bradshaw concluded his remarks by adding, "We haven't made the decision yet if we're going to bond, we have to determine if patrons will support it." t L VM - . wmmmmmm!mmB!mmmwm!i rr ni m inn ;s wt ibers !

Pleasant Grove Review New Utah! - Wednesday, March 7, 2001 - Page 3 District says $200 mil. bond has something for everyone Alpine School District officials plan something for nearly everyone if the proposed pro-posed $200 million bond issue is put before the public and passes. Although not all the wishes would be granted for the 41 schools in the district, the list includes new construction as well as remodeling or renovations for the majority major-ity of the present schools. Land purchases would also be included for future growth. The proposal was discussed by members of the district school board and the district administrative staff on Tuesday, Feb. 27, prior to Wednesday and Thursday meetings with the public. Officials said the bond monies are needed need-ed if the district is to catch up to the growth that the district is experiencing. The estimated esti-mated cost of $205 million now shown on the list would be pared down to fit the proposed pro-posed $200 million bond, cutting out some of the items. "There's nothing sacred about the list," said Keith Bradshaw, district business administrator. "All say draft on them." Gary Seastrand, assistant administrator, administra-tor, K-6 south, said officials met with "every single principal individually" to put together togeth-er needs of each school. "We feel we really need four new elementary ele-mentary schools and two junior high schools in the next year or two," said Superintendent Vern Henshaw. "These need to be started so they would be completed com-pleted within reason in the north end (of the district). These schools are fairly critical." criti-cal." The projects would be done in phases with the most urgent needs taken care of first. ' Officials said in addition to new schools, window replacements are needed in nearly every school for energy efficiency, air conditioning condi-tioning needs to be installed in some schools; electrical upgrades are needed to meet the need in computer labs, etc. and brick-and-mortar additions are needed to replace some satellite units. "We have to get the electrical systems up to standards in all the schools," said Supt. Vern Henshaw. If the bond is approved, five or six new elementary schools would be constructed in the west Lehi area and two-or-three in the Highland-Cedar Hills area up to two schools in each of four years, two new junior jun-ior high schools would be built, one possibly in the Highland area and one in the Lehi area; and a permanent home is needed for the Alpine Life and Learning Center. Lehi High School would have a brick-and-mortar addition to raise the capacity by another 400 students, brick-and-mortar would replace the satellite at American Fork High School and new office, counseling counsel-ing and lunchroom additions added along with a remodeling of the auditorium and music area. American Fork and Lehi High Schools opened in 1959. The old section of Forbes Elementary in American Fork would be demolished and replaced. Lakeridge Junior High in Orem and American Fork Junior High would get new band rooms. A new research computer lab, media center, cen-ter, counseling office, career center and science sci-ence classrooms are proposed for Pleasant Grove Junior High; a band room addition, new office and counseling area and a lunchroom lunch-room addition for American Fork Junior High; a new multipurpose room with stage, and renovation of the office area for Highland Elementary School; four new classrooms, and a new multi-purpose room with stage at Lehi Elementary School. The present multi-purpose room would be remodeled into classrooms. Two of the newest schools in the district, Timpanogos and Lone Peak, would get additions to their physical education facilities. facili-ties. Similar proposals are made for schools in the Orem area. A new shower and rest-rooms rest-rooms for 120 students is proposed for Clear Creek Camp. Henshaw said everyone but the newest schools has something on the. list of possible possi-ble bond projects. The proposal is designed to accommodate growth for up to 10,000 students. Henshaw said if the growth comes right now, the bond would only cover needs for about five years. If growth slows, it might go for ten years. "We might be able to extend the bond (monies) for eight years," said board president presi-dent JoDee Sundberg. "It could be five years, it could be eight years. We want to be prepared."
