Alf L. Freeman, Box Elder high school principal, will he master enabling schools outside of cities to consolidate. Almost immediately the consolidation was affected, making Box Elder county one large school district under one administrative head and school eliminating separa'e hoards or trustees for each community in the countv. When this occurred the county's 3.830 school children were 61 Each schools. attending school served an aveiage area of 91 square miles and served an average of .58 pupils Then all students walked to school. Though school enrollment has now increased to about 5300. the number of schools has dropped to only 29, each serving an average of 183 studen's from an area of average surrounding f 193 square miles two and times as large an area as in one-hal- easier, more efficiently and economically managed than almost any others. Rather than a myriad of schools, in which teachers are handicapped in teaching dozens of subiects. students attend larger schools where instruction is much more specialized and effective. With consolidation of schools it became necessary to transport many students to the larger school houses. Wagons, sleds and teams were Stuthe first transportation. dents attending Box Elder high school. the only secondary school in the county until 1921 had to board in Brigham City.

The largest huses now have spaing capacities for 66 sudents. vet some of these (buses, because thev serve moip than one school, transport to and from school in excess of ,100 sudents each dav. Though the Box Eider school district covers as much area as state. The extensive area, and the wide dispersion of population In the disttiet makes it necessary for our buses to travel more B. E. miles than do the buses in any other school district in Utah, though not as many students are transtxrrted as some of the geo graphically small districts. All students up to and including the sixth grade living one a half miles from a school must be furnished transportation. If in the upper grades students must be supplied if living twro transportation miles or more from school. The actual bus miles traveled annually is near 250,000 miles. If one student did all the traveling, it would be equivalent to circling the earth 180 times. So, it is apparent that transportation of students to school, to evening activities and field trips as well, is big business with the school dstrict. It takea a chunk out of the school budget to operate. In 1950 it cost $70,000 to operate or about 4.5 percent of the school budget that year. |
