Board of Education made the week announcement this following a formal resolution and of the board. We feel that there are a few facts connected with the proposed bond issue which should be emphasized, and possibly during the next few weeks: Fact one: The architects and fiscal agents feel that over the next five years there is a need for approximately $2 12 million for construction money in the district. The bond issue will seek approval of this total amount. However, only a little over $1 12 million will be sold immediately to take care of Immediate building needs, with the balance to be programmed over the five-ye- ar block. Fact two: The fiscal agents feel that under the five-ye- ar building program that is proposed, the district can sell the bonds and complete the program without any increase in property taxes. The district already has an excellent bond retirement base, and it is felt that the present levy would retire the new bond issue, particularly if the bonds are contracted at the current low interest rates. Fact three: district is The in good financial condition at this time. They are in a position where the proposed bonding issue would fall within the capabilities of the district to repay, even under present conditions. with the added However, economic growth that is coming to the county, the bond issue should provide no burden. Fact four: The need for more adequate school facilities is not based strictly on influx Some provision must growth. be made, of course, for the influx of temporary students in the district. This will be done under the program. But the basic building needs are based on an increase of 29.27 percent in student enrollment over the past 10 years and the fact that several present school units are totally inadequate to handle even the present student load. This is particularly true at the Roosevelt elementary, and the Altamont elementary. Both of these buildings are worn out. Architects studies cate that not only are they inadequate, but they are unsafe, unsightly and beyond repair. They present an extreme fire hazard to students attending indi- them. Other buildings also need much updating and improvement just to handle the present student lodad. Fact five: It is extremely important that a bond issue be considered immediately. Right now is the best time economically to sell bonds. Building costs will certainly continue to go up, not down. And there is a present critical need for at least 20 new classroom units. If a bond issue is passed this spring, and work started shortly thereafter, some deviation of this problem could be felt next fall, with new units constructed in time for the school start in 1973. Any delay would create a situation which could prove almost unsurmountable, and could cause the instigation of split-da- y class schedules in some of the schools. You will be asked to approve the lnd issue. We ask that you study the issue well, decide what you feel is necessary for the future of the educational process in our county, then vote accordingly. leaders at Utah State University Taking training for last week were Joyre Murdock, Art Junes, Colleen Long and LaRayma Freston.
