This communications phase was designed to gather, investigate, analyze, and disseminate information concerning the possibilities of conducting a pilot, year-round school operation. The objectives of Phase II were to (1) develop an optional 3-year, 5-term, year-round educational plan; (2) communicate this educational plan to local residents;(3) develop a tooling-up Plan to move toward the optional 5-term, year-round educational concept including the cost analysis for Phases II and IV (1971-1976); and (4) the identification of a, possible level and a location for a pilot, year-round program.

The Utica Community Schools is located in the west central portion of Macomb County, southeastern Michigan. The district extends ten miles north and south and six miles east and west or about 65 square miles in area. Our present student population of over 23,000 pupils has doubled during the past eight years and is expected to again double during the next ten years. Because of concern over rapid growth, the local Board of Education initiated action in 1967 to begin the study of the year-round educational concept as a method of saving tax dollars while at the same time utilizing school buildings on a year- round basis. In 1968 the state legislature, through Public Act 312, appropriated $100,000 to be used for feasibility studies on the extended school year in the state of Michigan. In 1969-70 the Utica Community Schools was one of eight school districts in the state of Michigan to receive monies ($19,500) to conduct a study relative to the feasibility of year-round school operation. In the original study, the Utica Community Schools charge was to study the man- dated, rotated, four-quarter year-round school program. This direction was given by our Citizens Advisory Committee when the district made application for a grant to conduct the feasibility study. As this district moved to fulfill the original charge of a mandated., year-round school program, it became more evident that a modified approach might be a more logical way to resolve this particular issue. As a result of the feasibility study, 1969-1970, the mandated, four-quarter con- cept was dismissed on September 15, 1970 by the Citizens Advisory Committee for Year-Round Education. Reasons for this were overwhelming opposition of public opinion as computed from original surveys. Actually, 88 percent of the people surveyed indi- cated that they preferred summer for their first vacation choice. To force a mandated, year-round school program on our citizenry at this time would endanger the fine repu- tation that this district has developed. During that same meeting with the Citizens Advisory Committee, a motion passed unanimously to accept a position paper on the five-term optional year-round school program. The Citizens Advisory Committee for Year-Round Education then directed the Superintendent's office to present the position paper along with Project II goals for year-round education to the schocl Board for approval. On September 28, 1970, the Board of Education adopted the recommendation of the Citizens Advisory Committee for Year-Round Schools. The following four goals were presented to the Board of Education and constitute year-round educational objectives during Phase II, the communications phase,. The Michigan State Legislature granted our school district a second grant of $20,000 to complete the following four goals. The first was the development of a specific calendar involving an optional five- term plan. This was completed in September, 1970.The second goal was an extensive public information program to point out the specifics of the optional five-term pro- gram. A filmstrip was utilized to inform the various service, civic and fraternal organizations, homeowner groups and other interested parties, anxious to learn more about year-round education. The information program was furthered by newspaper re- leases and issues of Forward Steps in Education, a quarterly published by my office. The third specific goal was to identify a target area within the district to conduct a possible three-year pilot program. A new centralized high school, scheduled to open the fall of 1973, grades 10-11-12, seems to be the logical choice at this time. The fourth and probably the most important goal the district must accomplish this year is to develop a curriculum revision and tooling-up plan to prepare for the pilot program, Phase III. That final decision, regarding the eventual conversion or 'tooling-up and con- ducting a three-year pilot education program in Utica, must come from our entire educational community, through cooperation with Citizens Advisory Committees from both curriculum and program development and year-round educational concepts as well. With people direction, along with the professional leadership from our teachers and administrators, this district now looks to a full five-year committment from the Michigan State Board of Education with sufficient funds to insure the successful com- pletion of both Phases III and IV (curriculum restructuring and a three-year pilot program to effectively test year-round school in this district at this time). I personally believe that this country is in the midst of a general year-round educational movement. How fast, how far and to where it takes us, no one can pre- dict. Should our district decide to pilot a year-round school program, you can be sure that it will be very carefully and scientifically researched to best meet the needs of our students and the community as a whole.This second phase (the communi- cations phase) has been most extensive and thorough, with the result that our recom- mendations, as found in Chapter 4, are both practical and realistic. Don Bemis Superintendent of Schools ACIMOWLEDGEMENTS The Utica Community Schools wishes to thank its entire educational community, the Citizens Advisory Committee for Year-Round Education (see Appendix L), the Year-Round School Steering Committee, the administration and the Board of Education for their considerate cooperation in making possible the successful completion of Phase II (the communications phase) of the extended school year movement in this school district. The Utica Community Schools wishes to especially thank Hr. Robert Sternberg of the Michigan State Department of Education; Mr. James C. Leavell, Director of Research with the Macomb County Intermediate School District; Dr. Jack Greenstein, staff memeber from Central Michigan University, who has served on our Citizens Advisory Committee; and Mr. George B. Glinke, Director, Year-Round Education, without whose help over one hundred and twelve slide presentations on year-round education would not have been completed in this school district this past year. In addition, credit must also be extended to the hundreds of sympathetic and dedicated educators across the country who helped contributed ideas, materials and encouragement for the successful completion of this study. The district is eternally grateful to our Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Donald Bemis, who has given unselfishly of his time to attend many of the presenta- tions to community groups to explain to our citizens answers about year-round schools. He was available to instill confidence

Juni 2013, 22.00 - 24.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Geboren am 9.Juni 1943 in Philadelphia, genoss Barron eine klassische Klavier-Ausbildung und spielte zunächst in der gleichen Band wie sein älterer Bruder, der Saxophonist Bill Baron (1927-1989). Nach seinem Umzug nach New York etablierte sich Kenny Barron Anfang der 1960er Jahre als hochbegehrter Sideman in der Szene. Durch James Moody kam er in Kontakt mit Dizzy Gillespie, in dessen Band er für 3 Jahre spielte. Aus der fast unüberschaubaren Auswahl an Aufnahmen mit Kenny Barron stechen die Duos mit Stan Getz hervor, die kurz vor dem Tod des grossen Tenorsaxophonisten in Kopenhagen entstanden. Mit dem Quartett «Sphere» widmete sich Barron seit 1982 zudem lange Zeit intensiv dem Erbe des Bebop-Komponisten Thelonious Monk. Der Pianist und Barron-Kenner Stewy von Wattenwyl, zu Gast in Jazz Collection, hat Kenny Barron wiederholt getroffen und gesprochen..
