Available School Funds Will Rise by $224,184 Next Year Total operating funds available in the South Sanpete School District next year are expected to rise by $224,184 or 15.0. For the state as a whole, the increase in school operating funds will amount to $36.2 million, or 14.8. These were some of the facts reported by Utah Foundation, the private research organization, in their latest analysis of 1975 legislation affecting education in Utah. The study indicates that South Sanpete School District is expected to receive $1,719,616 or $755 per weighted pupil unit in school operating funds during the forthcoming 1975-76 school year. This compares with $1,495,432 or $652 per weight- ed pupil unit. Inflation was the major factor responsible for this increase. In addition to raising the level of basic school support, the 1975 Utah Legislature also boosted the amount of state aid for pupil transportation by 55 and appropriated $2,000,000 to provide free textbooks and laboratory material used by high school pupils. The increased funds for pupil transportation is intended to raise state participation front 77 to 100 of approved transportation costs.

I will coordinate and implement their ideas. He will supervise volunteer activities, the fund raising, service and educational programs. Mr. Lewis hopes his ties in the community will help him stimulate interest and aware ness of the American Cancer Society and of its programs. We are not getting the potential from the area that I know is there," he said. There are physical resources available throughout the community as well as energetic and enthusiastic students who should be involved with our work." He also wants to utilize more of the resources in the business community. Noting the success the ACS had had with women's educational programs, he said he wants to stress programs to educate men about cancer. 5 Moreover, schools also raised some of the other special fees charged to students. According to the Foundation analysis, most institutions also boosted the special charges for nonresident students for next year. Despite these increases in tuitions and fees to students, total charges for such students still will be 30 to 68 below the actual average cost to the state of educating such students in 1974-75- .
