CAMPUS site development, including landscaping, walkways and roadways is pegged for $715,000, a figure Board Member Ray Briscoe raised his eyes at. "If we could do it, 1 know we would do it for less if we had the help to do it," Mr. Shell responded, emphasizing the state's work the school placed limits on what could complete. KAYSVILLE The Davis Area Vocational Center continues its growing pains, as its board of directors looks to the future and more expansion. THOSE PLANS reflect continued emphasis placed nationally and here at home on subject areas often taught at facilities such as DA VC.

Asst. Davis District Supt. Gayle Stevenson noted agreements have been reached with some teachers there over the years who work longer than the regular period. DR.

Emphasizing it should be separate from the school district's foundation that is also being formed, he said "most of them that get the most money are separate entities." HE SAID the board should have community members vs. all vocational center staff or board members because "we dont have time to go out and solicit contributions. They're composed primarily of business people with time (and ability) to go out and solicit. There were thousands of foundations created in the last five years," he added. The board also approved the 1983-8- 4 budget of about $1.2 million, reflecting only a fractional change from last year. Teachers were awarded no regular increase, due to fund scarcity although it's hoped some sort of additional compensation can be worked out. A spokesperson at the DAVC said meetings are still being held. Following the meeting, the board toured its construction project current automotive-diese- l that covers about 40,000 square feet and will double existing space. "Were looking at an Oct. 15 date" for occupancy, Mr. Shell said, noting it had been moved back due to the wet weather but construction has moved speedily during the last month of clear skies. construction of electronics, electricity and drafting program facilities. Completion of that 33,000 square foot addition would allow for remodeling of the auto body for classrooms in the mezzanines for $250,000, about half what that would cost ground level, Mr. Shell told the 9, WE TOLD THEM no, but its still on the burner.
