They rjld elect the people (local rtol board members) who nuld select the people (state of education members) jo would name the state su--rintendent. The plan is to provide for the oCt election, on a non-partis' basis, of the school board -fibers who will appoint the -erintendent. This would place j selection of the state super-indent super-indent on the same basis as school district superintendents who are appointed by locai school board members, who are in turn elected by the people in non-partisan elections. Both major political parties have indorsed removal of the office of-fice from partisan politics and the Utah Education association has been advocating the plan for 20 years. A statewide citizens' citi-zens' committee, headed by Mayor Ma-yor Earl J. Glade of Salt ' Lake City, now is being organized to support the amendments. The legislative pay amendment amend-ment (No. 3) would lift the present pres-ent pay ceiling for legislators from $300 per year to $500 per year plus $5 per day for expenses expens-es while the legislature was actually ac-tually in session. The amendment amend-ment itself would not increase the pay but it would permit the legislature to increase it to any point within the limitations fixed in the amendment. At present a legislator receives re-ceives $600 for a two-year term which amounts to $10 per day for the 60-day regular session. If an extra session is called, however, the members must pay their own expenses and receive nothing for the. additional time spent in session. The maximum under the pro-. pro-. posed amendment would amount to $16.67 per day regular pay, plus $5 per day expenses, or a total of $21.67, lor time actually spent in session, provided there were no special sessions. |
