Show Education Week Clash With School Opening Education Week patrons who are upset that the starting date for school in Alpine School ! District and Education Week Classes coincide this year can complain to BYU's President Jeffrey Holland but may not get satisfaction. Campus Education Week traditionally falls during the latter part of August and is attended well every year by people all over the state, a majority of these patrons coming from within Utah County. This year Aug. 24 is the first day of workshops, followed by classes scheduled throughout the rest of the week, Aug. 25-28. Since school starts that same Monday, many mothers are cancelling plans to attend Education Week because teenage babysitters have to be at school. Complaints have been heard from all over the valley, according to a spokesperson for Education Week, but there's nothing the directors of the week's activities can do about it. "We have to work with the University's schedule, and these are the only four days we can use the buildings. All the rest of the time students of the college are using the facilities. This is virtually the only time available to us," she said. They suggest patrons write or call the University President's office or Robert K. Thomas in the administration ad-ministration building, and maybe the scheduling conflict can be avoided in other years. |
