According to a report completed by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, this represented an increase of $17.7 million, or 1.1 percent, above the amount spent during the previous year, and was one of the smallest increases in recent years. Current expenditures in the North Sanpete School District during the 1986-8- 7 school year totaled $5,006,855 or $2,445 per pupil in average daily attendance. Approximately 63.2 percent of these expenditures went for classroom instruction, 10.3 percent for plant operation and maintenance, 13.6 percent for administration, 5.8 percent for pupil services (including transportation), 3.4 percent for instructional staff services, and 3.7 percent for all other activities. Within Utah, per pupil costs generally are substantially higher in the rural districts than they are in morepopulous urban districts. Last year, current expenditures ranged from highs of $5,371 per pupil in the Daggett School District and $5,051 in the Tintic School District to lows of $2,062 per pupil in the Washington School District and $2,087 in the Alpine School District. The Foundation study observes that the past ten years have been difficult ones for the states education system as well as the Utah Utah Because enrollments were growing rapidly while they were declining nationally, the state was placed at a considerable disadvantage when comparisons were made with other states. The problem was compounded by a struggling Utah taxpayer. economy. To cope with these problems, Utah Interstate 70 corridor according to the Utah Department of Transportation. The project involves surfacing, structures and signing on 11.3 miles of from South Rchfield to Sigurd in Sevier County. Of the sue bids submitted James Cape & Sons of Racine, Wis. had the apparent low bid of $14,171,461 which was below the engineers estimate of order to hold down rapidly rising education costs. The 1987 Legislature, for example, enacted the largest tax increase in the states history. This increase generated massive tax protests and led to an initiative movement designed to repeal or roll back the tax hikes. Measures also were taken to make better use of existing facilities and to increase productivity in operating programs. Foundation analysts report that of the $1,645,033,000 spent for education last year, $1,181,534,000, or 71.8 percent, went to local school purposes, $138,059,000 or 8.4 percent, state-operate- section of Except for a in Emery County which has only the eastbound lanes complete, completion of this project will make it possible for motorists to travel the $14,422,419.

The Foundation report points out, however, that per pupil expenditures are not always an accurate indicator of the quality of the education provided. It notes, for example, that differences in organizational concrete pavement, and all highway directional signs will be installed on this project. Work on this section is expected to begin in the near future and only minimal traffic interference is expected because the alignment is west of the existing highway. The project is to be completed by Sept. 1 according to the contract.
