He gave a report on how NeboSchool Districts THE PAYSON From the desk of the Superintendent 7 CHRONICLE Thursday, October 22, 1970 There has been considerable discussion about the future of middle schools in the Nebo School District. The question which we will be faced with in the future is the expense of new buildings. Some time in the near future all three middle schools need to be replaced or completely renovated, as well as the two junior high schools in Payson and Spanish Fork. The decision will be one of finances. Business in Utah is slightly better Business in Utah at the end of the third quarter of 1970 was slightly better than anticipated, and the outlook for the fourth quarter is fair to good. This is the report of the quarterly First Security Bank News Letter, being distributed this week, according to Roy Broadbent, Payson and Mark Bowen, Spanish Fork. First Security reports that production and employment, as well as personal income, are somewhat above 1969 levels and the rate of increase over last year is apparently above the national average. During the final quarter of the year a slight increase in the economic pace is expected. There are, however, pressures on prices of agricultural products and middle school program fits into the national picture. He pointed out the conclusions of the evaluation which gave the middle school a strong approval for physical, emotional and academically compatible transition from the elementary to the secondary school. The possibility of moving the sixth grade back to the elementary schools and the ninth grade to the high schools was discussed with the middle school principals along with Mr. Hansen. One of these alternatives may be necessary in the future due to financial reasons. New middle schools in all three communities and junior high schools in Spanish Fork and Payson are needed, but it may be impossible to finance five new schools. The meeting adjourned with a motion by Glenn W. Coffman at 11:15 p.m. LeRoy Whitehead, Clerk-Treasur- Dr. William H. Sorensen President, Board of Education Kennecott is people... helping young people get storteo. er Jr. some industrial products including lead and zinc. Mineral production in the state for the first nine months of the year, both in total volume and value, was almost equal to the previous year. Copper production has continued at a 25 thousand tons per month average. The Bureau of Mines reports copper production was up 5 percent from one year ago for the first seven months. Lead production for the first 7 months was reported at about 27 thousand tons and zinc at nearly 25 thousand tons, both approximately 12 percent above 1969. Gold production for the period at 243,000 ounces was down slightly while silver production increased 12 percent over 1969 levels. Steel operations during the summer continued below miU capacity. However, according to the News Letter, by the end of September output of steel was somewhat higher than one year ago. Uranium and crude oil output was reported about the same as last year, while coal production in the state was slightly above the previous year. Cash receipts from farm marketing in 1970 should approach the total of $209 million received in 1969. Prices for both slaughter and feeder cattle have continued generally above one year ago. Fed cattle prices should be about the same as last fall and some decrease in weight of slaughter animals is expected because of high feed prices, especially corn. Milk production is running about six percent above last year but egg production is down nine percent and prices are also lower. Total construction value in the Beehive state for the first seven months of 1970 totaled $196.4 million, up nearly 25 percent from the previous year. Residential construction was reported up from 40 percent and building construction was double that of one year earlier. The News Letter reports in Utah in employment that total A rough estimate is that it will cost the taxpayers ofthe district approximately two and one half million dollars more to retain the middle school program than it would to build new junior high schools and additions either at the elementary school, to enable us to put the sixth grade back into the program, or at the high schools, to enable us to put the ninth grade in the high schools. The recently completed middle school evaluation report, which is now in the hands of the middle school personnel, points out the fact that virtually every teacher supports the middle school program and that most parents are happy with the program, particularly with the sixth grade program. The items most critized in the study were the school buildings and the lack of adequate facilities for a modern educational program. Students also favored the middle school. The program which received the most praise was the last period enrichment program. There will be more information forthcoming with a more detailed report of the middle school evaluation. Last spring the Board of Education appointed a Building Study Council. The council has met at least monthly over the past few months and is attempting to study the financial structure in relation to the building needs in the district. This committee, made up of representatives of every community in the district, will begin to formulate their recommendations to the school board for a long range building plan. I sincerely hope that all of the citizens in Nebo District will sense the seriousness of our building problems and carefully study the proposed plan when it is approved by the Board of Education. The responsibility for providing adequate educational facilities belongs to the people. The Advisory Council, the School Board and the superintendent can only make recommendations. was 422,900, an increase of more than 10 thousand or 2.4 percent above 1969. Major increases over the previous year were in primary metals, coal, construction and all trade, finance and service industries. The labor force in September was estimated at 445,600 up 15,900 from one year earlier. Unemployment at 22,500 was 5.1 percent of the labor force.

Ten are sons and daughters of Kennecott people. All are recipients of $500 scholarship awards. In addition to this group, four other scholars are on the receiving end of $500 study grants.
