Show 3 Housing Students, Capitol Outlay Are Granite Goals by Paula Huff Green Sheet Staff Writer GRANITE PARK. Devising a plan students and sketching upcoming capitol outlay expenditures are two top priority goals for Granite School District. During a board meeting at Mill Hollow, Superintendent Dr. John Reed Call said a plan to accommodate rapid growth in elemen-tarie- s must be developed. We must stay ahead of the states year-roun- d school law, which means orderly progress in implementing year-rounand staff development, he said. A capitol outlay plan is equally important, Call said. Every time the state cuts funding, the district in turn cuts capitol outlay projects. We must have a detailed list of those capitol outlay things planned, to house elementary d plus those proposed. Call also suggested the district design a plan for housing junior high students, which would be implemented by 1989. He specifically suggested the board look at construction of a new junior high and year-rounschooling. Preparation should also be made to change the boundaries of high schools, Call said. These changes should also be implemented by 1989. Plans for closing schools which fall under the building utilization law should also be drawn up, Call said. The best way to close a school is by getting as much parental involv-meas you can get, he said. During the upcoming legislature, Call suggested the board lobby for modifications in school utilization requirements. He suggested the law be changed so a school can stay open year after it has fallen under the percent occupancy rule. He also suggested the cooperative housing program between Granite and Jordan be continued and a teacher evaluation policy be prepared. Development of a heighthened communication system to and from parents and legislatures to determine the strengths and weaknesses of Career Ladders was Calls last one 70 d goal. I think if we do not become proactive in support of career ladders we will be in for a big disappointment with the legislature. Other goals board members and administrators suggested for the district include: financial implication for the district and taxpayers of consolidation of valley school districts expense of year-roun- d schooling a report on the amount of money spent on supplies compared to other district and the impact no revenue growth has on districts. Occupancy Standard Continued from page reasonable 1 very close, Stephens said. In the next few years, the district has set a goal to fill up the schools and look at alternative scheduling before building any new facilities, Stephens said. Building utilization has not been a major concern for the Murray district, according to Stephens. But he is worried that government is becoming too involved in administration of the schools. I am a bit concerned that government is getting too involved in administration of the schools, he said. The district should have complete stewardship. I do think its a good idea to encourage local schools to maximize use in buildings, he continued. I do support with holding state money from a district that builds new facilities when they are not needed. Sanderson to expect building utilization requirements, but that special education space should not apply. Its difficult to apply this law to special education space since their population is so unique, he said. ONeil said the building utilization law has changed nothing for the Granite district. We have always tried to provide maximum housing for students, he said. This just brings to focus a certain level of capacity. Candidates for municipal office who wish to make public their intention to seek election are encouraged to coordinate the announcements of their candidacy by calling the Green Sheet news The Green department, Sheet woulfl like to publish announcements of all local candidates, but will refuse to do so if their appear in another publication first.

That is really someting to consider when you are in a poor market place because every additional cost can push a buyer out of the market, he added. But as far as saying whether the ordinance is good or bad, Zamani said that is hard to determine. If I were living in the neighborhood I would like it because it would make the are look better, he said. But looking at it from the side, I would prefer not to landscape because its the kind of work you dont get paid for. A home seller at Sunset Hills subdivision says he recommends the citys landscape ordinance 100 percent. I think people like the idea of coming in and seeing the yards in place, said Monty Hansen. It also improves the value of the location in the subdivision. Hansen estimates that it increases the cost of the home from $500 to $1,000.
