Those not going for the first time this year on Monday - students at Bonneville and Orchard Elemen-tarie- s in Orem and the Dan W. Peterson School in American Fork already back in the "swing of things." They began classwork on July 28 with year-roun- d school, and some are about ready for their first "vacation time." These students attend school on tracks consisting of 60 days school and 15 days vacation. Although this is the second year for the program at Orchard Elementary, the year-roun- d program is new at Bonneville and Peterson this year. Students at Highland Elementary in Highland and Northridge Elementary in Orem will also find themself on new scheduling. Both of these schools are involved in pilot extended day programs with students coming on two different schedules. Officials say the 1,450 teachers in the district will be in the classroom even though they haven't signed a contract for the school year as yet . Members of the board of education will meet Wednesday (today) to consider ratification of the contract of classified employees, however. One new school will open in the district this year. Doors at Suncrest Elementary in Orem will open for the first time. The school replaces the old Spencer Elementary, one of the oldest schools in the district. District officials said an estimated 18,000 hot lunches will be served each day during the year in the district's 45 schools; and ap-proximately 11,000 students will ride the bus to and from school daily. Approximately 4,000 students with handicaps will receive special education services through district programs. ll most of the students, teachers and parents are probably glad summer vacation is over and the students no longer can be heard seeking "something to do." Cedar Hills forms road committee, cuts salaries By BECKY GRASS JOHNSON In a meeting held Aug. 13, an ad hoc committee was formed to study the proposed paving and main-tenance of Oak Road in Cedar Hills. The committee is comprised of citizens from each section of town and includes councilmen Marcus Memmott, Bill Bule and Wayne Robison. The committee will con-vene in a special town council meeting Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. Proposals will be submitted as to how the costs should be distributed throughout the community and the establishment of a special im-provement district will be discussed. An ordinance was passed by the town council which will decrease salaries for the mayor and coun-cilmen. In a public hearing preceding the meeting, Mayor Greg Harris said, "We feel as a council that the compensation provided by the previous ordinance was ex-cessive." According to Mayor Harris, the new ordinance, which will provide the Mayor $100 and councilmen $25 per month, is more in line the 1986-8- 7 budget. The town council voted to table the issue of whether or not to grant annexation to the North Meadows area. This will allow more time to evaluate the proposal and for the residents to analyze costs and complete a thorough feasibility study. According to Rod Despain, town planner, there is presently only 65 per cent of the property owners petitioning for annexation. |
