A case in point may be the recent requirement for dairymen to move the location of the facilities in a modern milkhouse.

A complimentary letter will be sent to thes schools. Mr. Bell also shared detailed information concerning the special education programs. He suggested the implementation of a f day learning disability program at NSHS and SSHS each on a junior high school level. A program of this nature is already in operation at RJHS and is serving the needs of students very well. Finances are available from a homebound fund. The program will help reach individual students who are now in need of help. This will require the hiring of a e special education teacher for next school year. Mr. Bell also recommended additional help in the directing of special education programs in the District. It was recommended that Duane Bresee, Special Education Instructor at RJHS, be placed a contract instead of a contract which would allow him to serve in assisting the direction of special education programs. Discussion resulted in a motion by Mr. Madsen, seconded by Mr. Hartle, approving the hiring of a f teacher to serve day each at SSHS and NSHS in teaching reading in the learning disability program.

Each has various and different types of coverage. He explained in detail the benefits and exclusions of the District's present Erros and Omissions policy and the Utah State School Board's policy. Sevier School Districts policy, with specific indemnity now underwritten by CNA, has a $1,000 deductible with a $1,600 per year premium. The Utah State School Board policy has a $50,000 deductible with a $200 per year premium. Mr. Madsen suggested the possibility of lowering the limits on the CNA policy to $50,000 which should lower the premiums. This will save enough to purchase the Utah State School Board policy, also. Details concerning the Erros and Omissions insurance will be examined and explored and presented to the Board at their next regular meeting. It was deemed feasible to attempt to lower the limits for a reduced premium and also participate in the Utah State School Board high-qualit- y n policy.
