Jay Evans reported on the results of the soil tests taken from' the site of the new high school. Normal comparability of soil is at least 3,000 lbs. per cubic foot. The tests showed the compactability of this soil to be 1,600 lbs. per cubic foot. It is necessary to have 95 percent compaction where buildings are situated and 90 percent compaction in the parking areas. As a result of these soil conditions, it will be necessary to have specialized equipment to do the job. It was the decision of the Board to advertise for bids on the site preparation work. Bids should be submitted for opening at the regular meeting of the Board of Education in September. In other business, Superintendent Openshaw recommended that the Cleric's salary be adjusted by $500 in order to give the Cleric the same salary increase as the average of the professional staff increases. Members voted in favor of adjusting the Clerks salary.

Superintendent Openshaw reported that the district's total maintenance and operation budget is $725,914. This means that a four percent budget cut would be $29,036.56. With the reduction in staff of an elementary principal and a media director, the district should come close to meeting this requirement. If additional cuts are required, one summer program could be reduced. A letter was received on August 12, stating that, due to serious reduction in CETA funding, Tintic School District would receive only one slot. All things being equal, it was the decision of the Board to employ Cheryl Yadon, since she was the first applicant. Mrs. Earlene Montague, at the West Desert School, will be dropped from em- ployment since it was felt that, since there were three teachers in that school, the more pressing need is at the schools in Eureka.
