natural part of making those changes Changing schools often Representatives from the State Office of Education higher education and the governor's office form a committee to evaluate each application They look for compliance with the strategic plan school restructuring objectives student environment organizational vitality and adherence to standards set up in the original Centennial Schools legislation House Bills 100 and 162 from last year Competition is keen among the state’s more than 400 schools Centennial Schools arc so named because the expectation is to en- courage reform not only as a preparation for the Utah Centennial celebration in 1996 but to raise the standards and create a "world class education system" for all present and future students and educators Six Youths Injured
