Show age B2 - THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, 10, 1993 Wednesday, February instruction By PAT CHRISTIAN Herald Staff Writer - AMERICAN FORK Weather and hitches in contracting have delayed the construction of junior nigh schools in Lindon and Highland. And delays are likely to pree vent an start of school at the two locations. Progress on the two construction projects was reported Tuesday night during the regular Alpine on-tim- School District board meeting, conducted at district offices in American Fork. Board members were told weather has caused delays, and de- velopment on some contracts had resulted in further delays. An updated construction priority schedule was presented that showed that classrooms will be constructed first and the gymnasium last. Board members indicated that administrators are looking at options to bring students into schools after classrooms, offices, band room, media centers are completed but perhaps before gymnasiums, lunchroom, kitchen and auditorium are completed. The goal is to get students into the two new schools when school starts at the end of the summer. The school in Highland has experienced the worst delays because of high winds that blew down scaffolding and newly constructed masonry walls. Highland had been scheduled to be completed by Sept. but the revised schedule calls for a Nov. 30 completion. Lindon had been scheduled to be completed also by Sept. , but the completion schedule there is re1 1 vised until Oct. 29. "I just worry a lot," said Gary Keeteh, the district official respon-- . sible for schools, 7th grade through high school. But he said he feels better about construction progress this month than he did last month when weather conditions were worse. Keetch spoke of one option at Highland, where students who are scheduled to move to the new school could temporarily be taught at the schools they now attend until they could move in to the new school. But he said at Lindon, there is not room at existing schools to do the same thing. He said double sessions at existing schools could be one answer. District officials indicated they had been worried that delays couid extend startings at the new schools until Christimas, but they said they are now more optimistic of an earlier opening. Superintendent Steven Baugh said the district is now proceeding with the idea of moving in as fast as they can on contruction and moving students into the schools. In other business, a policy was tabled Tuesday that allows students in the district to attend the school and eductional program of their choice. The board tabled the measure because state legislators are debating similar issues that could affect district policy. Victor Williamson was recognized by the board for being selected to receive a community award from the Utah Association for Gifted Children. Williamson is director of the District's Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center. Provo School Foundation delivering needed funds By KAYLENE NELSEN Herald Senior Reporter PROVO The Provo School District Foundation has brought in $86,500 to the dis- trict. Foundation director Steve Hall told the district board Tuesday night that $700 to 800 of that comes each month from district employees who participate in a payroll deduction. Other contributions have come from NuSkin International, Panda Homes, Utah County Medical Society, Mountain Fuel and individual patrons, many of whom want to remain anonymous. Hall said about $65,000 has donabeen received as tions of such items as computers, software, tables and chairs.

Romesburg has recently formed an accreditation steering committee to prepare for a full accreditation review in 1994. The steering committee will analyze how UVCC currently measures up to the "standards" which the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges uses to evaluate higher education institutions. The steering committee, chaired by Helen Ashton and assisted by Karl Worthington, met recently to give direction to, and carry out the data gathering and writing of the Romesinstitutional y will be said. "The burg the basic working document for the Northwest Association's site committee, which will visit during April of 1994," he said. The steering committee consists of 15 people from different areas of the college. Each participant will represent their corresponding department during the evaluation process. The committee includes the following people: Ashton, Worthingt, ton, Kay Anderson, Richard Wesley Bitters, Robert Burns, Bob Clark, Grant Cook, Thomas Hover, Linda Makin, Jan Miller, self-stud- y, self-stud- As-let- Marcia Rogers and Barbra War-di- e. Kay Andersen recently joined UVCC as a special assistant to the president for planning. Andersen served as executive director of the accreditation committee for senior colleges and universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, which included California, Hawaii and Guam. "I've gone through the accrediy tation process with many institutions," Andersen said. "Our accrediting committee s in California accredited 150 and universities.

The revised report will then be finished and sent to the commission several weeks before their visit to the camself-stud- colle-geg- self-stud- pus. "This process affords self-stud-y the institution a tool for discovering what we are doing right and what we may need to improve," Romesburg said. There are 10 standard areas set by the Northwest Association which UVCC must evaluate. ee Church must submit plats to Highland Zina Adelia Patterson Dunford fund projects such as the computer writing lab at Timpview High, chairs at Edgemont Ele-- ; mentary and Junior Great.; Books at Wasatch Elementary. , Hall ;aid the foundation board hopes to have one member assigned to each school when enough members are re- ceived. He said that will make it' so the individual schools are not just working with a faceless foundation but real people. Hall also works on g projects and said the district has received more than $550,000 in grants. He said the district is waiting to hear about another $500,000 in grants. Hall is teaching a Writing for Dollars Workshop to 15 teachers in the district to help them learn how to write grants. He said he spends 0 hours on getting a good grant put together. The teachers are spending 10 hours of their own time over a k period to learn about grant writing, he noted. - LDS Church officials appeared before the Highland City Council this week in an effort to gain a conditional use permit to build a stake center at 5212 West Contry Club Drive. At the meeting, they did not have any type of plats available. City recorder Wini Jensen said the reason the church didn't have a plat available is because city engineers had said it wouldn't be necessary. Upon hearing the request, the council decided it wanted a plat and plan to review the request at its next council meeting. The planning commission recommended approving the conditional use permit based on several conditions. Water needs to be provided, in the form of deeding the irrigation water to the city, before a building permit would be issued. When a secondary water system is installed, the LDS Church will submit its stock to the project and connect to the system. The church will need to commit in writing to pay for one half of the road along the east side of the property when it is developed. Also, the planning commission recommended that the city hire an outside inspector to do the inspections for the church and use the funds collected for the building permit to pay the inspector. The church building is scheduled to house the Highland East Stake, which consists of the Highland 2nd, 7th and 16th wards. The church also failed to have a plat for its proposal of a seminary building to be placed adjacent to the new Highland Junor High School. The building will be located on the northeast corner of the Alpine School District property.
