And the expansion of Clearfield High School should help the high school picture a great deal, Mr. Stevenson said, although that'll probably be filled r to capacity within years, as most population growth continues to hit the high school areas. ALTHOUGH double sessions, where some students attend from say 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and others go in the afternoon, weren't talked about, although Mrs. Allen admitted to a questioning parent that a really careful analysis for building use will be necessary in the next few years with "significant public input sought within the next couple years. Mr. Stevenson noted that unlike other large districts, especially Joran, fast tugging on the heels of the neighboring Granite District for size supremacy, in Salt Lake County, havent always been so fortunate in being able to meet needs before crisis conditions. Part of Davis "saving grace has come in the ability to add classrooms onto smaller schools, such as facilities that then become 26 The next five years should see even more ;1 changes, to the landscape, school-wise, from construction of a new . junior high to the addition of scads of elementary school classrooms. A . r . THAT NEW junior high, talked of over the past few months for the Syracuse area in north county, will be needed to meet the expected surge in junior high enrollment as an increasing number of youngsters are born to residents and the rate of move-in- s continues at a healthy three-fou- fast-growi- pace. But a new high school Layton-Clearfiel- d wont be forced into the picture, at least for now, Asst. Supt. Gayle Stevenson has told the board of education, much to the relief of those in the know about building prices, such as Board Pres. Sheryl Allen, calling it a saving grace that the $20 million (or more) for such a facility T' can be used elsewhere, crediting administrators and buildings and grounds department officials for keeping on top of growth. ; FACED WITH 10,000 more students within the next five years, boosting enrollment from 46 to m or schools, in line with a policy adopted several years ago to m maximize at that level, where feasible. CURRENTLY, the "average school has 22 'A classrooms, nearly three more than just three years ago, with only two more schools. Two small schools Stoker, with only 10 rooms in Bountiful, and Hilltbp, in Layton, have been put to other educational uses-- , meanwhile, with South Weber now the smallest, at 15. Thats due to the - peculiar geographic constraits drawing students only from that city, however, the board was reminded. A look at births in the county and their impact five years later as those youngsters enter kindergarten, shows growth from 2,488 in 1971 to double that this year, pro- jecting elementary enrollment at school year. That compares to 26,127 now but reflects a slowdown from next years 1,723 new elementary arrivals vs. under 950 at decades end, Mr. Stevenson said. JUNIOR high enrollments will grow from 9,749 now to 12,014 but for the next two years there will even be a decline of 50-6- 0 students in some junior highs down to the "critical level in some, or about 32,350-plu- 600 s where in the 1989-199- 0 its costlier to staff per Steam Contract Still Undecided - - BOTH CITY councils last Tuesday night refused to sign the resolutions for sale of $64 million worth of Industrial Revenue Bonds needed for construction of the proposed facility.

BLODGETT Clipper News Editor CENTERVILLE-ARE- FARMINGTON - If you converted the Davis County Courthouse into a jail and then built a new courthouse in a neighboring community, there probably woud not be much opposition to the new facility. -- THE NEW facility, of course, being the lic office building instead of a jail. residents packed A the Davis County Courthouse a couple of weeks ago in protest to reports that two tentative sites had been chosen - in West Centerville north of Syro Steel Company near 400 South and 950 West; and the other west of Interstate Highway 15 and north of Parrish Lane. But the group was told that these two sites were not prime sites and that they were being considered only because property owners had approached Davis County officials and said they would consider selling their property for a future jail site. -- pub- THATS why its difficult for the SHERIFF Johnson said all sites considered will be given a numerical rating based on loca- tion and several other factors, and public hearings will be held. It is estimated that a new jail will cost an estimated $15 to $20 million. Meanwhile, there is no money allocated in the 1985 county budget to build a new facility next year, according to Commission Chairman Glen Saunders. IT IS also uncertain whether Davis County d will continue to have its own jail or to join with the state in a combined (regional) prison. A new county about 280 beds, necessitate would county jail but a combined prison would require an additional 75 beds - or a total of 350 to 360 beds, it was explained. BUT THIS may not be for five years or more, according to Sheriff Brant Johnson. We are studying the jail problems on a regular basis and someday a new facility will be needed.
