Alpine District Etas Insurance Plan AMERICAN FORK Items discussed at the last business meeting of the Board of Educa-tion of the Alpine School Dist-rict included taking action to implement a program with a combination of self - funding and deductable insurance. The Indemnity insurance cov-erage will go into effect for the Board Members, Superin-tendents and all their employ-ees on January 1, 1973. The insured will be: School Districts Board of Education School Administrative Person-nel, all other school employ-ess-, Utah School Board of Edu-cation. The limits of liability will be $250,000 per person and $1,5-00,0- per occurance. There will be a deductible clause of $'0,000 per claim and $100,000 annual aggregate deductable (trust fund). The concept of the self -- funding plan is that through an as-sessment procedure, each dist-rict will contribute to a fund that will respond to pay the deductible in the event of a judgment being rendered. The Utah School Boards As-sociation legal counsel is es-tablishing a trust fund with trustees, controls, etc., to man-age and protect the fund. The assessment will be made on an annual basis. The ex-pectation is to reduce the ass-essments in three to five years and then eliminate them if there is no claim. Although at the beginning the assessment will be approx-imately twice the insurance premium it provides the equiv-alent of a 25 per cent discount off the NSBA program rates, while maintaining control of the g trust finances. The carrier is California Un-ion Insurance Company, which is a subsidiary to INA. It is rated A plus. In the discussion of this pol-icy it was pointed out that there are many cases of school boards being sued, as well as individuals. This policy will al-so cover the cost of the defen-se of any action. It was determined that the $2000 premium would be con-sidered an adminitrative cost.

Waldo Johnson of Springville will be the speaker. The first such program in Utah began on an experimen-tal basis last August at the Grant School in Springville. Mr. Jacobsen is the principal After spending considerable time studying the possibilities of a year-roun- d school, he worked "night and day" for one year with two other edu-cators in perfecting the pro-gram for school board and PTA approval. Mr. Jacobsen received his masters degree from Brigham Young University in 1959. He taught school for nine years and has been principal for 13 years. He served in the Maple-to-n, Brookside and Grant Schools in Springville. Primary Grades in Alpine Participating In Tutoring Program Over 250 primary grade stu-dents in Alpine School District are participating in a structur-ed tutoring program to teach them to read more fluently. The program is supported by funds from Title I or ESEA. (Elementary Secondary Educa-tion Act). Seven elementary schools are participating. The students are released from their regular classes for thiry minutes daily and meet in the tutorial reading room with a student tutor from fifth or sixth grades. The tutor has been carefully trained by the tutor teacher to follow the edu-cational prescriptions she gives him to teach. The' learners de-velop rapidly since they have their regular reading instruc-tion in their home room and then the extra help from the tutors. Students admitted to the program are those identi-fied as needing additional help in the reading process. The program is directed to include the younger students because it is preventive rather than remedial, it builds self-conce- pt with success. It also works specifically with stu-dents needing additional in-structional help. Some students have special problems requiring specialized prescriptions. Counselors and other specialists administer special tests with students hav-ing more severe learning dif-ficulties. Prescriptions for tu-tors and parents are then for-mulated from these to help the students overcome their (Continued on page 12) John Jarvis Feature Artist at Ogden Art Center Show John Jarvis, talented Pleas-ant Grove artist, will be feat-ured in a one-ma- n art exhibit at the Bertha Eccles Commun-ity Art Center, at 2580 Jeffer-son Avenue in Ogden.
