P O. O Box 2106 Salt Lake City What The Current Controversy In Utah Education Means To YOU As A Parent The present situation in Utah results results re re- re from the neglect of the state to provide adequately for its public schools This has resulted in the inability in inability inability in- in ability of our local school districts to furnish the services supplies and equipment equipment equipment equip equip- ment and to pay reasonable salaries to teachers necessary for a quality educational educational educational program for your children For the past fifteen years teachers have pl pleaded and begged the Legislature Legislature Legislature Legisla Legisla- ture for more nearly adequate public school financing Many legislators worked untiringly for the support of the educational program but for the most part the pleas of the teachers have fallen on deaf ears For the past eighteen months the Cooperating Agencies for the Public Schools Utah School Boards Association Association Association tion Utah Congress of Parents and Teachers Utah Education Association Society of School Superintendents and Utah State Department of Public Instruction Instruction Instruction In In- have been united in their request for legislation which would bring Utah up to the average of our neighboring states in expenditure per pupil This would have required an increase increase in- in in in- cre crease crease se in our educational investment of per child in average daily attendance per year This it was agreed was a minimum program and anda a n minimum goal However CAPS CAPS' proposal was not allowed to come out of the House of Representatives Representative's Sifting Sifting Sift Sift- Sifting ing Committee In other words the CAPS' CAPS BILL WAS VAS NEVER FULLY CONSIDERED Those who opposed the CAPS' CAPS program throughout the recent session of the Legislature are now saying over and over that education received the great greatest st single appropriation ever given Utah's schools The fact is that it will not take us even half the distance from where we are now to the average of the seven surrounding Mountain States Regardless of the efforts of some to gloss over that unpleasant reality by attempting to make it appear that something has been done which has not nol been heen done at nt all Utah's unfavorable unfavorable able condition in education remains Your children are being denied a quality education Superintendents cannot solve the problem by changing the method of distribution by a greater proportion of available money oney to teachers' teachers salaries TEACHERS ARE INTERESTED IN THE TOT TOTAL L EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM NOT JUST IN THEIR SALARIES ALONE It is our best estimate that Utah's school school- expenditures under the legislation legislation legislation legisla legisla- tion passed by the 1963 regular session of the Legislature will lag next year yearby yearby yearby by more that 70 per pupil annually behind the average of the other surrounding surrounding surrounding sur sur- rounding Mountain States By 1965 this lag once again will be approximately approximately approximately per pupil The uThe CAPS' CAPS pr program for education education tion lion is a realistic program which was Has as cooperatively arrived at b by thoughtful thought thought- ful people working with all nIl available data It is not a luxury program a and d dby by no means unrealistic While some contend that the intelligent in intelligent intelligent in- in way to solve the educational problem is to go on with school as usual until the differences can be reconciled reconciled reconciled rec rec- rec- rec it must be reme remembered that the teachers have been patient through fifteen years of such negotiations They have tried in every way possible to resolve resolve resolve re re- re- re solve th the p problem without disruption of service However all efforts have been futile and land conditions have compounded com corn pounded with each passing y year ar Teachers havo have been forced into distracting distracting dis dis- dis side lines and supplemental employment when in reality the profession pro of or teaching is most demanding in terms of both time full commitment and nervous stress In this space age ageno ageno ageno no teacher can hope to meet the deman demands de de- demands de- de man mands s of the rapidly expanding sub sub- matter content and equally exciting exciting exciting ing strategies of teaching without devoting full time including summers to io the profession This really is at the expense of your children The teachers of Utah have hac but one single purpose in their present action it is the improvement of their service ser to the boys and girls sirls of this state While teachers' teachers salaries are undeniably undeniably undeniably un un- un- un deniably a part of the problem ADEQUATE ADEQUATE ADEQUATE ADE ADE- QUATE STAFFING REASONABLE TEACHING LOAD PROPER PHYSICAL FACILITIES REASONABLE REASONABLE REASONABLE REASON REASON- ABLE TI TIME IE SCHEDULES ESSENTIAL ESSENTIAL ESSENTIAL ESSEN ESSEN- SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT EQUIP MENT ACCEPTABLE PERSONNEL PERSONNEL PERSON PERSON- NEL RELATIONSHIPS AND HIGH CERTIFICATION STANDARDS are equally important aspects of the problem No group in Utah wants more to see schools op open n on schedule in September September September Sep Sep- than do dothe the teachers On the theother theother theother other hand they have seen them open for fifteen consecutive years with increasingly increasingly in in- increasingly in- in less opportunity for doing the kind of job that needs to be done for your children The parents of Utah can ill afford to sit by and let teachers migrate to other states where teaching conditions are more attractive The time for action is n now w and those willing to provide adequately for Utah's children should not let any groups divert them from their determination and right to provide provide pro pro- vide the educational opportunity which their children deserve Teachers Teachers' contracts terminate in June dune After that time teachers have noc no c contracts and therefore no school em em- Teachers have been told they are public servants and must return return return re re- re- re turn to the classroom They have been told they could be required to enter into a contract to perform services and be required to perform such services Legal opinion has stated No ISTo such court procedure or power exists in the United States because it would Lc hc unconstitutional A court may not force a person to ht perform services This would constitute involuntary involuntary in voluntary servitude ser 1 I Our Constitution provides for special sessions of the Legislature when needed The The Governor has indica indicated fed that one is needed now Utah's educators educators tors believe that the problem of school finance nance needs to be on the agenda ofa of ofa ofa a special session For the purpose of bringing this about and in in the interest of quality education Utah's teachers v voted ted to to interrupt contract negotiations 1 for the school year 1963 Make fake no mistake There will be no school in the fall until the current educational educational educational edu edu- controversy y is satisfactorily resolved The Utah i ithe Education Association is the professional
