Show Boundary Meeting Delayed Until April If there is to be final solution to the boundary line problem, it may not come until at least the middle of April. Superintendent Good-worth Good-worth said he received word from Val Edrington, Superintendent for the South Summit School District, that no joint school board meeting could be held until next month. No reason for the delay was given. Approximately 25 percent of Park City's student enrollment live outside the Park City School District. A survey conducted recently showed an overwhelming majority of those families living in the affected north Park City areas would rather change the district boundary line which would enable them to vote in local school matters, even though their taxes would increase. The areas outside Park City School District include Holiday Ranch, Park Meadows, Thaynes Canyon, Prospector Square, Holiday Village, Silver Creek, Hidden Cove and Highland High-land Estates. The survey, written by Superintendent Superin-tendent Goodworth and Edrington, Edring-ton, was conducted on a door-to-door basis and by telephone tele-phone to residents in the different areas. The results were going to be discussed during a joint school board meeting between Park City and South Summit. One concern shared by residents resi-dents in the South Summit School District is that if the line is changed, it may lead to consolidation consolida-tion or reorganization of school districts (Park City, South Summit Sum-mit and North Summmit) into one school district. Superintendent Goodworth has told the Record he does not think the Utah Legislature Legisla-ture will vote in favor of consolidation. Dr. Goodworth also said he felt the simplest way to resolve the boundary line issue would be to change the line so that those families become part of the local school district. An exact date for the joint school board meeting was not set. |
