Show Members split on hirings BOX EIDER NEWS, Brigham City, Utah 3 Bus issue, stipend policy Cupfuire bourd A busing issue at Tremonton was left hanging fire pending further investigation and a new service policy on extended-da- y was solidified at Wednesdays Box Elder Board of Education meeting. The bus question is one raised at a previous board meeting and involves transportation of secondary students living in the Sandallwood Acres subdivision of southwest Tremonton. Residents want their youngsters bused to Bear River High and Junior High. However, it was pointed out that of about 60 students in the housing area, only about 17 qualify as living at least two miles away from the schools. The state sets this distance as a minimum when reimbursing school districts for transportation expenses. Not Only Concern But distance is not the only concern, it was explained. Parents are concerned about the hazard of crossing a canal and railroad tracks and walking along a busy state highway. We are hauling in hazardous areas and have done for years, Supt. J.C. Haws pointed out. If this truly is hazardous then it ought to be included with the others but you should be certain in your minds, you ought to be consistent, he told board members. My feeling is that it is hazardous and there is no way to improve the situation where it is not hazardous, board member Deloris Stokes stated. It was finally agreed to table the question until board members could make a personal inspection. They do plan to meet Tuesday at Tremonton on this and a related concern involving access from Sandallwood Acres to McKinley Elementary school. Envisioned is the opening of a new street from the south end of the housing area east to the school grounds. Tremonton Councilman Charles Taylor was on hand at Wednesdays meeting to discuss iffemifDOiri) the situation. Also present was Richard Roche, representing parents of the area. Tuesdays meeting is on-sit- scheduled at 4 e p.m. Stood Firm The board stood firm in its previous decision to have extended-day services of teachers paid from funds at the individual schools involved. Principal Robert Morgan at Box Elder Junior High has agreed to pay $300 for a yearbook adviser and $600 for an activity superviser. At Bear River High, Principal Darwin Woodbury was authorized to pay a stage superviser $300 from school funds. A letter to Principal Carroll C. Nichols at Box Elder High where there has been more extended day stipends paid read inpart: In accordance with our previous agreement and with full school board approval, you are hereby authorized to reimburse your drama coach ($300), your debate coach ($300), your Rockette supervisor ($300) and Pools, auditorium: Board likes layouts The design of proposed swimming pools and an auditorium have taken more definite shape as Box Elder School district voters look to a $2.5 million bond election Nov. 4. The board of education Wednesday stamped their approval on preliminary layout drawings for the new school facilities after a presentation by architect Ralph Edwards. The architect showed the design for an pool with six lanes 25 yards long to serve Box Elder High school. An identical facility will be built for joint use by Bear River High and Junior High if voters approve the bond issue. school Not only a pool but a physical fitness room will be included in each of the buildings, providing another teaching station, As for the proposed auditorium at Box Negotiations 'Continued From Page One) administrator of curriculum, and Richard Kimber, director of pupil personnel, on the boards negotiations team. G. Ray Holt, Utah School Employees association executive director, is acting as spokesman for the employes with local representatives including Jay Matthews, Eugene Bott, Max Baugh, Mary Jean Jensen, June Craner, and Marlene Kapp. Contacted Thursday morning, Morrell said an informal session with Matthews and Holt would be held Monday morning. Morrell said the federal Fair Labor Standards act requires that classified personnel be paid on an hourly basis and it has been necessary to convert their rate of pay accordingly. Only lunch workers have been paid on an hourly basis in the past. He further noted that Holt has said weve got to get off percentage increases because the poor get poorer and the rich, get richer. There are about 250 classified employes in Box Elder district. your stage supervisor ($200) for school year, from the 1975-7your surplus school funds that with the you hold in joint-tru6 st district. "This particular payment is for one year only and if and when these particular individ- school uals receive additional compensation for such services in the future, then such agreements are to be made directly to the superintendents office, as authorized by the board, and paid from district funds. It is further assumed that the yearbook adviser ($500), the stage supervisor ($300) and the B'Ette advisor ($300) are being accepted as individuals forming services directly ficial to the studentbody and, therefore, will be paid from current studentbody funds for school year.

All Will Reduce Contracts Letters were also authorized informing eight summer music teachers that, at the end of this contract year, they would be h reduced to a regular teaching contract.

Its construction would require the closure of Forest street between Fourth and Fifth East and also involve construction of a corridor connecting the old gym building with the main complex. At Board Meeting Edwards made his presentation at a regular school board meeting. It was intended to provide voters with a more definite idea of the facilities theyre being asked to finance through the bond issue. Board members endorsed both designs, later in the meeting heard Supt. J. C. Haws describe the educational campaign planned to familiarize interested citizens with all aspects of the total undertaking. by participants. However, before letting the extended day issue rest once more, board member Winston Benson said he wanted a review of the districts athletics program which seems sacred for reasons not apparent in the pro- gram.
