The purpose of the group is to provide a unique experience for students to work in a small group situation and to formulate programs to travel with, explained teacher Kristene Fink. The students conceive the basic idea for the program, research, coordinate and produce the entire productions, she said. The students are excited about this program and very faithful about rehearsing after school, she added. Through a career ladder program, Mrs. Fink has provided the students with a contact with a teacher that is rare in our typical overcrowded classrooms, a school spokesman observed. The advanced dance students have been working in choreography groups since November in anticipation of the Bennion program, using e two Christmas favorites, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town and d Rudolph The Reindeer. Students are required to try out at the end of the school year if they wish to be in the advanced group, said teacher Helen Brown. Usually about 350 students try out and only 24 make it, she added.

Mayor Jerry Maloney wants to see the continuation of a program he suggested last year which would provide funds to repair curbs, sidewalks and gutters in subdivisions. Id like to see $75,000 in the budget for this program next year, said the mayor. The city budgeted $50,000 in this years budget. The mayor also wants funds budgeted to landscape property along 4100 South from the Jordan River to Redwood Road. This is one of the more heavily travelled areas into the city, he said. I would like to see it fixed up. It could be a very attractive entrance to the city. Councilman Brent F. Anderson said he wants funding to provide safe passage for school children who must cross busy streets. Those requests, along with some 75 others proposed by city department heads, will be assigned a weight according to a schedule proposed by the city planning office and be prioritized. Not all of them, of course, are likely to be funded, city officials noted. I would expect that we would have some very interesting discussions when the list comes out, said Janson. Jokingly, the mayor told Janson to Know where you can lay your hands on $100,000 when we need it (for projects recommendced by the in council).

A Sandburg elementary fifth grader has been awarded a meritorious award certificate by the Cub Scout Council. Tyson Peart, son of Vaughn and Sandra Peart, was visiting his grandparents and was out walking with his sister Laurie and her boyfriend, when the young man, Dan Moriarty, fell and sustained a head injury. Trying to catch the youth as he fell, the lad broke his fall and prevented him from rolling into a ditch filled with water. The young mans injury sent him into convulsions and when he was hospitalized, the boys information was said to be valuable to the hospital staff in deciding upon treatment, explained Mrs. Peart, who was serving as her sons den leader. Moriarty recently graduated from the Police Academy and has married the boys sister. Young Peart was 9 years old when the accident occurred last May. He received the award on Tuesday.

Copper chapter of Disabled American Veterans plans to join with others throughout the state in a concerted effort to increase membership. Orlando Barber of Magna suggests membership in the DAV could be a means of protecting veterans disability compensation, since the Reagan administration is considering cutting off veterans receiving 10 to 40 percent compensation. He added that a phone bank has been set up to contact all potential and delinquent members who are eligible to belong.

If we got very favorable bids on both the junior high school and the elementaries, I think we can do it, Burton replied. Even though the board realized would that a lot of be involved, Dr. Christensen moved that a $14 million bond sale begin in February, 1985, with the provision that if necessary, a second smaller sale could take place to cover expenses if the need arose. The motion was seconded by Patricia Sand-stroand the vote on this compromise proposal was unanimous. Dr. Christensen also proposed to that further the administration discussion and analysis of the recent demographics study be presented to the board at the earliest possible date so that the board could have better knowledge of actual need. For quick, effective results at low cost, use the Want Ad columns of the Green Sheet 1262-668- tion in the junior high school, suggested Dr. Ralf Riches, who chaired the panel presenting the study to the board. The proposal recommended to meet the states literacy computer half-cred- it requirement, each junior high needed a minimum of one computer lab, consisting of 15 computers, 15 monitors, 30 disk drives and four printers. The committee also recommended in order to utilized any skill learned on computers, for every 20 academic classrooms a cluster of four computers, four monitors, eight disk drives and one printer ought to be included in each school as well. When I look at the price tag, I kind of choke and swallow, board member Miriam Farnsworth said. The approximate costs, the study noted, would be between $1.7 and $2.4 million, depending on the quality and price of the computers purchased. In addition to the initial outlay for equipment, another $150,000 would be needed for teacher training and software. Because of the price tag, the board voted to postpone any decision on the computer literacy recommendation until further administrative input and budgetary considerations could be studied in depth. Financial considerations were of prime interest to the board in other areas as well. I have no problem with (allowing seventh grade students to elect to take a class) if we are just opening the door to do it, Patricia Sand-strosaid of another recommendation. Her only objection concerned the availability of equipment to implement such a decision. Because of monetary considerations, board member Joyce Higashi amended the recommendation, adding the words if possible. Further financial outlays for equipment were thus blocked for the time betype-keyboa- ing. Four recommendations dealing with hiring new teachers, assistant principals and secretaries were also postponed until the new budget is presented, as was a proposal to purchase computer equipment and train secretaries in their administrative uses. The one proposal dealing with administrative changes which was adopted involved no additional funding, as requiring a minimum of three secretaries for each junior high school merely made the current situation district policy. Recommendations which received little or no opposition included : Students will be required to take one semester of physical education in both the seventh and eighth grades. Seventh and eighth grade students will be required to take either a required reading course or an advanced reading course or speech course, depending on SAT test scores. High scoring youngsters entering the seventh grade may also have the option of taking a foreign language in place of this requirement. Credit for the ninth grade will remain on a semester basis, even though high school credit is given quarterly. Students should study a wide variety of topics rather than specialize in limited areas, and some changes in required courses were made to give more flexibility to elective options. individual education plans may be worked out between parents, students, and school personnel, with the stipulation that private or outside-of-schosubjects may not take the place of subjects, and at no time would the district consider waiving classes lower than state requirements. students will not be excused from class for competitive athletics prior to2:30p.m. all junior high students may parinticipate in a tramural program promoted by the school. all meets and tournaments will be supervised. Within the intramural program, track, wrestling, and gymnastics (where competent coaching staff is available) will offered, culminating in a division and district tournament. All tournaments will be held after school and on Saturdays. teachers operating Saturday intramural programs will be paid from the recreation fund, with some monies transferred to that fund from previously earmarked athletics budgetting. well-rounde- d |
