Show 4A The Salt Lake Tribune Friday, January Action in Legislature Floor Action 18, 1985 House Committee OKs Bill to Mandate Benins in Scoliosis Screening in Public Schools Utahs House By Peter Scarlet Tribune Education Writer bill that would mandate scoliosis screening in Utahs public schools was approved Thursday by the Legislatures House Standing Committee on Education. House Bill 30 would require local school districts to provide screening for the disease and related spinal or postural deformities once a year for children in grades five through 10. Scoliosis is an abnormal curving or bowing of the back. Approval came after a lengthy discussion and an amendment to the bill specifying that the states Division of Family Health Services reimburse the Utah State Board of Education for costs of the program in the A schools. The measure will now move to the House floor for consideration. Sponsor Rep. Ervin Skousen, lt Lake, said scoliosis can often be corrected without major surgery if it is detected early. He said some school districts have offered the screenings, but have not been consistent. He said gym teachers could easily conduct the test after being trained by health nurses or the nurses themselves could do the test in the gym classes. Minimal Costs The lawmaker said the programs costs are minimal and a years operation of the screening program would cost less than four of the fusion procedures used in major surgery. Two parents, a grandmother of a girl suffering from scoliosis and an older woman who had contracted the ruly youngsters nor does it reduce it, he said. The measures idea was approved last year by an education reform committee organized by the state school board and headed by Ted It later won the endorsement of an ad hoc discipline committee organized last year by Rep. Lloyd Frandsen, Jordan, who cosponsored H.B. 58. Deferred Action Although the committee deferred action on the bill as a whole, it approved an amendment deleting the subpoena power given the commission in the measure after William Garner, superintendent of the Ogden School District, objected to its inclusion in the bill. This is an advisory commission, but this bill gives it subpoena power, which doesnt exist even for the state board, he said. Envisioning a scenario where the commission could subpoena board members to appear over their firing of a teacher, the superintendent said he opposed giving an appointed advisory commission authority to subpoena board members. Right to Redress Rep. Burningham said subpoena power is needed so people would be compelled to go to the commission. He said elimination of subpoena power would weaken the measure. Committee members nevertheless voted to amend the bill to remove it. disease as a youngster urged committee members to approve the bill. Several of the legislators werent sold, despite the sometimes emotional pleas for th u program. Rep. Ray Schmutz, t. George, said he was concerned that the family healta division was being given authority over the schools. Rep. Alarik asked why the Myrin, program couldnt be designed like the one requiring students to be immunized before entering school, placing the burden on parents instead of the schools. I nd. Rep. Irby Arrington, Lake, expressed concern that the program would place a burden on someone in the schools who would have to keep records and otherwise administer the screenings. Committee members also discussed another measure, HB 58, which would empower the Professional Practices Commission in the Utah State Office of Education to provide a mandatory administrative hearing forum on cases brought to it by parents upset over the disciplining of their children. Owing to many questions about the measure, and its wording, committee members postponed action on it until their next meeting. Rep. Kim Burningham, said the commission, which mostly deals with ethical questions involving certificated educators, would r.

Confusion over the budget recommendations of the legislative fiscal analyst, the governors office and the Utah State Board of Education led to the delay. Daryl McCarty, an associate state superintendent of public instruction, asked for the delay so Utah State Office of Education accountants and the legislative and governors analysts could get together and prepare consistent budget totals. Causing the confusion was the fact that the legislative analysts recommendations didnt include salary factors, while the state boards recommendations included a 4.5 percent increase and the governors included a 5.3 percent increase. Lawmakers indicated that any salary increases would be decided later and that appropriations would not include them. Before committee chairman Rep. Lloyd Frandsen, Jordan, and other members decided to delay further action, the legislators did approve a $1,561,400 appropriation for the the state superintendents office. The action came after a substitute motion to adopt the governors recommendation of $1,629,800 minus the 5.3 percent wage increase included in the figure was defeated Committee members will again take up the budget for the state office, of which the superintendents office is a part, when the body meets again Friday afternoon. Most of Thursdays meeting was taken up by officials in the state school office, who briefed lawmakers on the increases needed to cover additional workload and expansion of services built into the offices proposed budget. th pf 1464 Foothill Dougs TV & Appliance 4477 So.
