will studied extended-da- y schedules said there was ment to establishing double sessions at the high schools That would mean about half of the school population would attend school in the morning and the other half in the afternoon Ninth grade students who attend high school would be included in the double sessions That option would double the capacity of the school and eliminate the remodeling and air cond ditioning needed in a school setting Jarman said It’s not a perfect solution because it divides the school doubles the basing schedule and would mean a late end to the school day for students who attended the afternoon session Jar- year-roun- plead guilty Davis County Deputy Attorney Mark Andrus said the juvenile-cou- rt charge will be referred to the district court and Polete is expected to plead guilty to both Both are charges Tuesday second-degre- e felonies and carry a prison term of years each Polete is accused of shooting at n Trooper John T Mitchell in during the early hours of Aug 8 According to police reports Mitchell’s patrol car was fired upon after he attempted to pull over a car that had run a stop light near Fort Lane Road and Love Lane A Jared Lynn Valentine 18 of 631 E 2000 North Layton has pleaded guilty to eluding a police officer for his part in the incident and will be 15 Lay-to- sentenced Nov 29 Valentine had agreed to testify against Polete at trial Valentine told prosecutors that Polete shot at the trooper’s car with a shotgun and Valentine helped steer the car during the gun fire and Polete related a similar story Andrus said Andrus said the prosecution agreed to reduce the attempted-murde- r charge because of age He said Valentine told prosecutors that Polete did not intend to shoot the trooper but merely disable his patrol car Again Polete told a similar story Po-lete- ’s The theft charge included in Polete’s plea agreement stems from the burglary of a Layton-ar-e- a convenience store in late July man said “Even though there’s disadvantages to it it seems to solve the problem better than anything else we looked at" he said Another suggestion was developing magnet schools This concept would require the adoption of districtwide class scheduling to allow students to move from one school to another to take specific classes Andy Odoardi assistant principal of Bountiful High School said the program would require major changes in the expectations of staff students parents and the community of a neighborhood high school “Davis County would become one campus with six high schools serving needs and desires" Odoardi said Year-roun- school schedules d so were discussed In education students would attend 1 80 days of classes but their v would be scheduled during different times of the year This option would increase a building’s capacity by 20 to 50 percent and help prevent teacher and student burnout said Layton High School principal Paul Smith In terms of cost the option may be prohibitive because schools would need to be air conditioned It is also more expensive to cool a building than to heat it said Bemell Loveridge the district’s energy conservation director By MARJORIE public elementary school He was sentenced to 5 years CORTEZ 0-- FARMINGTON — Two weeks Defense attorney David Knowl- after he was sentenced to prison said he will appeal the con- ton on a marijuana possession charge viction on the grounds that the Lane C Stromberg of police search of Stromberg’s has been released pendSyracuse home violated his 4th Amending appeal of the conviction ment rights Second District Judge Douglas Knowlton said he also will chalComaby granted Tuesday a certificate of probable cause to Stromlenge the constitutionality of the berg and set his bail at $50000 felony enhancement attached tQ marijuana-possessio- n in one defendant the of charge!
