Show Board of Education gives tentative approval to school boundary changes By DONETA GATHERUM In order to accommodate growth in the elementary schools, the Davis County Board of Education Educa-tion has given tentative approval to school boundary changes that will affect those students attending Columbia and Kaysville Elemen-taries Elemen-taries in Kaysville and East Layton and Adams Elementaries in Layton. After discussing the problems with some concerned parents who feared that their students would be shuffled back and forth between schools for several years, the Board unanimously approved the changes on a first reading agenda. Final approval will come later. Those students affected by the change in the Columbia-Kaysville boundary change are those living west of 1-15 in Kaysville. There are 179 students in this area that have been attending Columbia. Next year they will be bused to Kaysville Kaysvil-le Elementary. This will drop the enrollment at Columbia from 1 ,005 to 925 students. Projected enrollment enroll-ment at Kaysville Elementary for next year is 737 students. Students living in the LaDonna Mesa Subdivision, north of SR 193 in Layton will be attending East Layton Elementary next year. They are attending Adams Elementary at the present time. There are 140 students expected to make the change. Adams Elementary is one of the largest elementary schools in the district and the enrollment grows daily. When the school opened in 1983 it housed 504 students. This year 1161 students attend Adams and this number even with the boundary change is expected to grow to 1457 by 1991. The projected enrollment at East Layton for next year will be 966. Adams Elementary is on an extended ex-tended day program this year. East Layton will start extended day classes next year. Also scheduled for extended day sessions next year are Lincoln Elementary in Layton and West Bountiful Elementary. |
