Ken Parsons, board president, noted that such guarantees disrupt that position for one year and that the board is often unable to get the best personnel during the time of absence.

The system would use a booster pump and new water line. , The system would operate on 35 pounds pressure, a low pressure system. About 400 acres are involved in the system, mainly farms on the west side of Monroe. The district would use its share for a sprinkling system at a new secondary school to be built in Monroe.

He also said that reading programs at the school had been a success and that recently after an activity has been held to promote reading, circulation at the schools media center takes off and holds for three or four weeks.

According to die Foun- dation study, public school enrollments which leveled off for a short time in the have resumed an upward trend. This fall, enrollments climbed by 10,310 over 1979. Based on present per student operating costs, this influx of new students translates into added costs of more than $15 million per year. Sevier County schools had a 1980 enrollment figure of 3,946, according to the Foundation study. Hie total is an increase of 120 students, or 3.14 percent, from the 1979 fall enrollment of 3,826. In North Seviers atmid-197- tendance area, Salina Elementary showed an increase of 52 students from the fall of 1979 to the fall of 1980. There were 470 students in 1979, compared with 522 students in 1980.

Thayne a Robson, leading economic forecaster in the state. A few months ago were Utahns being cautioned to prepare for high rates of growth, Robson points out, but now it appears changing economic conditions have reduced growth in Utah to a very low level. Instead of dealing with high rates of growth we will be dealing with very low rates of job opportunities in Utah, he notes. The recession and the change in the White House have made a difference in Utahs future growth rate, according to the economist.
