The attorneys told those present at a Thursday news conference the group was not saying that the district and teachers weren't concerned about student welfare but that certain citizenship guidelines were excessive. In a letter to the Nebo School District from attorneys, the group asks the district to do away with eight hours of community service to replace two citizenship 'U"s. "We feel this is excessive and would ask that students be given two hours of service at school. We would also like to see the removal of the fee for taking the required citizenship classes because this affects students that are level," said attorneys. They also asked for better communication between parents and school in the giving of failing grades. They stated that often parents are not given sufficient notice in order to have a hearing with the principal and teacher. Also discused was mandatory transferring of students from a regular high school situation to Landmark High. Parents were informed that they could protest and resist such a move and should have a proper hearing with school officials. - LIBRARY Christopher Bevard, 27, of 535 N. 1300 West, Pleasant Grove, is charged with attempted criminal homicide, a second-degre- e felony punishable by one to 15 years in prison.
