Show Jr. High wants new schedule Pleasant Grove Jr. High is proposing to the Alpine Board of Education on Jan. 26 that Ihc junior high go onto a productivity type of operation, the same as American Fork Jr. High, beginning in the fall of 19H8, according to Principal Kent Rowley. This means that all teachers will teach seven periods a day. which would utilize Ihe building space loo percent and teach wilh Id fewer teachers than the school would be alloted according to the numher of students enrolled. This is necessary because of Ihe number of students who will be attending and the space available. Under the current arrangement, there are not enough classrooms to house the number of teachers that would be needed to teach the number of students enrolled. With 10 fewer teachers, the class size would increase in some classes. To reach this level of 10 fewer teachers, they will need to transfer only two of the existing teachers to another school and not hire the additional teachers that they would be entitled to because of student growth. There will be a public input meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 20, in the Pleasant Grove Jr. High auditorium to present the information in-formation and answer questions and address concerns. All patrons of the school are invited in-vited and encouraged to attend. |
