Show Lakeside Review, Wednesday, September 9, 1987 District proceeds with ;BRYON SAXTON ; . Lakeside Review staff FARMINGTON In an effort to provide a concurrent enroll--meprogram with limited funding, the Davis School District is offering students what it says is a viable option. Superintendent Richard Kendell said the Davis district will act on the good faith of the state and proceed with a portion of the concurrent enrollment program until state funds are thawed. According to school officials, an agreement on the guidelines of the operating procedure of the nt program, in which high schools students must pass national tests at a $50 cost to get credit for the advanced placement classes. However, several higher education institutions in the state have some reservations regarding the districts program, which was first piloted by the Davis district two years ago. While Utah State University supports the concurrent enrollment program, Brigham Young University fails to recognize it. Dean Jack Newell, from the U of Us liberal education department, said the University of program have tailed between the parties involved, in turn freezing the $200,000 provided for the program. Bonnie Durrance-Doylpublic affairs officer, said the concurrent enrollment is a college-boun- d boost to make it possible for high school students to earn college credit on a high school level. e, said high Durrance-Doyl- e 'college-boun- school teachers are then deputized as college instructors, making it possible for college course instruction. Doyle said this procedure differs from the advanced placement program d' Utah is interested in seeing how the concurrent enrollment pro- gram is developed. Newell, who is heading the task force committee reviewing the matter for the Salt Lake university, said There is more promise of working out the quality of the program with the Davis district then anyone else in the state. However, Newell said the University has its reservations. Our concern is the way people are planning to use it. Other districts are not providing the same concern for the program," Newell said. Newell said currently there are two universities in the nation us- ing the concurrent enrollment program, Syracuse University in New York and Minnesota University. He said both these universities have been involved in the program for some time, adding, but the districts program is on a state level. We would be starting on a much bigger and broader current enrollment program, than has proved successful elsewhere, he said. So we would like to proceed with caution. .Newell said other reservations discussed among university officials include the impact the state program would have on the national advancement program. The advanced placement program is very popular in Utah, and more students are involved in per capita than any other state in the nation besides New York. The advanced placement program is active and successful and we like the idea that its working well, he said. Kendell said presently more than 140 students are participating in concurrent enrollment.
