Mrs. Palmer, who was in organizing the booster club, said that new leadership is needed to keep the strings program and the districts other music programs. She stated that ap- any leadership in the parently music program will have to come from parents. The group noted that part of the problem has been that strings teachers have been changed too often. There was also a feeling that the board of education, in looking for places to trim the budget, had decided that the strings program was not important enough to fund. Dr. Roy Ellefson, North Sanpete High School music teacher, said the district had hired a new music teacher for the high school. He said the new teacher would be teaching six classes and that when he was selected emphasis was placed on band, choral and strings in that order. Dr. Ellefson said he would be teaching one music class next year. Dr. Ellefson said the new band teacher was not a strings major.

This sum is $54.2 million, or 4.3 percent more than was approved this year and $173.3 million or 15 2 percent greater than the aifiount '"expended for education last year. Of the total appropriated for education in 1986-8public education will receive $978.0 million and higher education will get $334.9 million. The study points out that a substantial portion of the new money allocated for education next year will be used to accommodate expanding enrollments. Because of anticipated growth in school memberships, the number of regular program weighted pupil unit was increased by 2 percent. Foundation analysts indicate that the Consumers Price Index (CPI) has risen by only 1.6 percent over the past 12 months and has actually declined during each of the past three months. Consequently, the added funding provided this year should allow average salary increases that are at or above the g index changes in the during the past year. The report emphasizes, however, that actual salary levels for local school emare established by ployees negotiations held in each of Utahs 40 school districts and are determined by local factors and considerations. Significant cuts originally were made in the number of weighted pupil units (WPUs) authorized for the adult high school completion, compensatory education, and the community education programs. A special session of the 1986 Legislature meeting in May, however, restored $1.6 million to the appropriation for the adult high school completion program. Sanpete officers in marathon bv Ida O.

According to a report by the Utah Foundation, the private research organization in their detailed annual analysis of educational funding in Utah, all districts will receive financial increases from state funding, but not in the amounts they have received in other years. Operating fund in the North Sanpete School District will total $4,468,160 next year, according to the report. This sum is $134,851 or 3.1 percent more than the amount available during the current (1985-86- ) school year. It is expected that 2,855 weighted pupil units will be allocated to the North Sanpete School District in 1986-8and this represents an increase of 97 units from the number allotted this year. The percent increase going to North Sanpete schools is smaller than the percentage increases in surrounding districts, however. The South Sanpete School District will operate on a $4,864,527 budget with a $173,968 increase or 3.6 percent more than last year. It is expected the district will operate on 3,208 weighted pupil units or an increase oT.101 over last year.
