Show JEA ASKS SCHOOL BOARD FOR BONUS WITH EXTKA FUNDS An unbudgeted $ 1 i 7,500 the Jordan School District it receiving for the sale of the Bingham Central School to Kennecott Copper Corp. is bringing problems, the Board of Education discovered last Thursday night. The Jordan Education Association Associa-tion last Thursday requested the board to use the money as a "bonus to all certified personnel employed by the district. This would give each one an extra $180 for this year, a letter signed by the JEA executive board pointed out. The Board agreed there is a legal question whether this money can be taken from the capital funds into the operating budget and instructed Supt. Reed H. Beckstead to obtain an opinion from the achool district's attorney. No decision was reached on pending the $137,500. C. N. Crawford, board member from Midvale, had at an earlier meeting asked the board to consider con-sider using these funds to help construct con-struct a swimming pool at Midvale Junior High School. He pointed out at that time the district't two other junior high's, Mount Jordan and West Jordan, both have pools. John Wheadon, board member from South Jordan, said he already has received three requests for portions por-tions or all of the money for other projects. In other action, the board named nam-ed the new elementary school at 10400 South between 800 and 900 East which is in the planning stage. It will be known as the Alta View Elementary School. A change in the spelling of another an-other school name was approved. The new Copperview Elementary, 8400 S. 150 West, will be spelled in. two words. Copper View. |
