Show Page C2 - THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, Manday, April 6, 1992 superintendent f schools seeks posit ive education reform Maw SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Utah School Superintendent Scott Bean will tell you he has more than enough challenges with a public school system bursting at the seams with students and lagging in funding. But he sees his biggest obstacle that of overcoming a longstanding attitude that "lets too many students crash." The state Board of Education selected Bean, 52, as the state's 23rd superintendent of public instruction. He replaces Jay Taggart, who retired March 31 after 18 months on the job. Bean was a logical choice for the $80,000-a-yejob, having been deputy superintendent since September 1990. He served as acting superintendent during the five months prior to Taggart's appointment. A Brigham Young and University of Utah graduate, Bean started more than 20 years ago as a math ar and science teacher in Salt Lake City and later in the Alpine School District. He eventually became superintendent of South Sanpete School District, a job he held from 1981 to 1987. In his new post, Bean will oversee the state's $1.5 billion education budget, the largest of any state agency. He sees the job as "an opportunity to change the system in a positive way. His biggest complaint is an educational system Bean considers too rigid, and therefore unable to adapt to the needs of students in an in- creasingly complicated society. d Bean would The like education to be flexible enough to let students learn at their reform-minde- own pace. The public-schosystem can't do that now. Bright children are ol not allowed to progress fast enough. Slower children are pushed too quickly. "Getting to the level of compe Foil: 59 percent less likely to vote for Owens because of overdrafts tency is crucial. How long it takes is not," Bean said. "They are different, but we expect them all to getdoneinl2years." He wants to see a Student Education Plan become part of every child's education. A teacher, student and parents would develop the SEP by getting together at least once a year to set education goals forme child. Bean favors more localized decision making in Utah schools, where teachers, parents and principals make the choices affecting their students. As for funding, Bean sees a correlation between money spent and levels of academic achievement but he accepts Utah's tight funding as reality. Schools will have to learn to get by on what they have as long as the children percentage of school-ag- e remains larger than its adult work force, he said. r ' : , Johanintr lanaaa.
