MT. PLEASANT — North Sanpete High Community Council met Monday, March 12, to discuss how to best spend School Trust Land’s money, and also any other items of concern. The team went over the 2017-2018 budget and looked at the month-tomonth spending and it is all in line with what is expected. One-time budget items were taken out the first of the year and other amounts going out are related to salary of teachers who are teaching classes for reducing class sizes, and improving the rigor and academic offerings. There is currently $103,953 available for the 2018-20199 year. That dollar number will likely change as current legislation is put into place and numbers get more specific as the year progresses. The budget may change accordingly. Much of the School Trust Land money will be spent in the same way that it has been in the past school year with the caveat that there will be some change due to changes in salary within the district that won’t be decided until negotiations take place and are approved. Currently the projected expenditures are approximately $1,000 over budget and discussions took place to determine how to bring that amount back into line. One item where it was discussed to reduce funds is from the library, where not all of the money was spent last year. This year the budget amount was $3,000 and discussion was made to reduce the budget to $2,000 and then replace that difference if the money was available once a finalized dollar amount from the STL is delivered. The motion was made to approve the budget with the $2,000 amount and the difference would be made up either with additional funds from the STL or, if that money doesn’t become available, Principal Ault said that she would be able to make up the difference from the school general budget as a one-time payment. The council also discussed students who want to do a solidarity walkout on March 14, at 9:45 a.m. This walkout is being done on a worldwide scale to back those students at Parkland High School where 17 students were killed. It would last for 17 minutes, one minute for each student that lost their life. The walkout is sponsored by the
Ann Oldroyd the late Calli Oldroyd. She will perform a contemporary dance to “Glory and Gore” by Lorde. Her platform is “You’ve Got It in You!” Community Blood Drive.
Residents urged to make Spring City veterans memorial reality
Local artist, Douglas Fryer, has created this view of what the future veteran’s memorial monument will look like when completed in Spring City. The Spring City Veterans Memorial Association is seeking donations which can be mailed to: PO Box 126, Spring City, UT 84662; or can be dropped off at any Utah Heritage Credit Union office.
SPRING CITY — Courtney (Delray) Syme of the Spring City Veterans Memorial Association recently urged Spring City residents to “Do Your Bit!” to help fund the creation of the Spring City Veteran’s Memorial. Syme appreciates all those who have been following the associations Facebook page and have provided information about Spring City veterans, and have contributed money to the monument fund.

The ladies of Mt. Pleasant raised over $2,500 in the 1920s for the statue and its base. A notice on the front page of the Jan. 23, 1925, Mt.
