The district still will pay those salaries, but they will come from so-called “categorical funds,” such as school lunch, vocational or special education, federal drug and alcohol or similar programs where funds are restricted. The salaries are being moved out of the district’s basic program where administrators say the savings are intended to take place. Overall, the district says, the latest plan would save $604,739 in the basic budget. Three jobs in the latest plan were not in the restructuring plan the ther retired or left the trict. Don Hillman, director of Ogden-Weber Un, a full-time office for teachers in the two districts, said his organization questions the plan. “There still seems to be a lot of confusion around that plan.” Said Hillman. “We’re not convinced the savings are there.” Hillman said he doesn’t understand how the administration can implement a plan that differs from the one approved by the school board. “This is another example of doublespeak we’ve been getting out of this administration and we’re very concerned about it.” Ann Moulton, president of the Ogden Education Association and a teacher at Ben Lomond High School, called the plan “smoke and mirrors.” The OEA demanded the resignation of schools Superintendent James West last week after it said it gathered signatures of 450 of the district’s 600 teachers on petitions. The petitions called for West to resign. West has said he will not resign and said the petition effort was a power move by the teachers’ union. He said he has been targeted by the OEA because he has been an agent of change and reform in the district, and some principals and teachers have spoken out in his defense since the OEA resignation call was issued. West submitted the job-savings plan to the board at the March 19 meeting as part of a restructuring intended to preclude a $1 million budget deficit. Hotel From 1C feeding the people as well as giving them a place to sleep. Word of the emergency shelter apparently got out on the street fast, he said, because a few street people who didn’t want to stay anywhere else tried it out. “Last night we fed about 50 people,” he said. “In fact, we put up a few people who obviously didn’t come from the hotel, but we have to use a little discretion.” Spinks said the basement, with its concrete floor and large open room, made an ideal emergency shelter. It even has kitchen facilities and showers, he said. It wasn’t elegant enough to keep the Marion tenants hanging around, though. Tuesday morning a group of them went back to hotel where chairs that normally graced the front lobby had been moved outdoors under the trees. There they sat, eating donuts and watching workers paint window frames on the building for a movie to be filmed on 25th Street. By 4 p.m. Tuesday, the same people were back in the lobby, watching the television set there, exactly like they do every other day. West From 1C “We don’t want to do anything to damage our open door to administrators.” Shaw said. “We tried very hard to be unbiased and tried to make every attempt to provide the pros and cons.” OEA president Ann Moulton said she is not surprised at the vote of support, pointing out that about 200 of the 670 signatures gathered on petitions were those of classified employees. The petitions were presented by OEA officers to two board members a week ago tonight. the board has taken no action. Moulton said teachers are dissatisfied with a projected $1 million budget shortfall, West’s plans to resolve it and what they call a lack of communication they say has paralyzed the district. The Ogden City Schools Administrators Association, the only other group of district employees, has not taken a position on the petition. “We have not had a meeting or even discussed it,” association president Beverly Wilcox said today. “I think it’s been the feeling that we are kind of between a rock and a hard place because we work at the pleasure of the board, yet we have to work with teachers and ‘classified people.” WEA From 1C your cause to provide better working conditions and learning conditions for the Ogden School District.” Efforts Tuesday and today to reach West for comment were unsuccessful. The WEA letter is addressed to OEA President Ann Moulton and is signed by the WEA representative council and board of directors. The letter carries 35 signatures. West was an assistant superintendent in the Weber School District when he was hired to direct Ogden schools five years ago after Superintendent William Garner retired. The OEA asked West to step down last week, accusing him of a lack of leadership. West, labeling the OEA request a “union power move,” said last he will not resign as long as he has the backing of the local school board. Study From 1C involved fire departments “feel strongly” about conducting the study. “It’s important to know we have not come to any preconceived notions. But there is a prevailing attitude that we need to take a look at consolidation, that it is a healthy thing to look at,” he said. Hunter contracted with Ogden to provide special consulting services in January after his position as city manager was eliminated by the new form of government. The contract called for his working until July 6. But Hunter said he plans to leave the Ogden City Centre May 20 and move into the county sheriff’s department, a location he called “politically neutral.” Prayer From 1C even-numbered years. “I don’t want to see us end up Bangerter said he has no preference on language but he said “the dominant feeling seems to be, if they change it, they change to the federal language” in the U.S. Constitution.
