4 oorned Play Equipment to Be Gone Behre School Starts Supt William Boren said today the swings ieeter totters and slides will be removed from Weber School District playgrounds before the new school year starts He said removal of the equipment will begin soon as we find a city that will take The Weber Board of Education order removing the equipment directed it be offered to cities for installation in parks adjacent to the schools Transfer of the swings teeter totters and slides from school grounds to an adjacent city park was recommended by a committee appointed by the beard a month ago to study the potential hazards of playground equipment Supt Boren said he is initiating negotiations with officials in the cities where the playground equipment is located and anticipates they will accept it soon as we determine which cities and towns want it and where we'll start moving Supt Boren said of it will be gone before school and the sand from dissipating Playground equipment should be used as part of the regular physical education program of the school to provide maximum use and help children learn to use the equipment in a safe manner PTA or other groups be responsible for purchase of the equipment with the district assuming responsibility for maintenance and installing a safe base Surveys indicate patron support for the playground equipment If cities decline the equipment he said find other ways to get rid of The equipment was purchased by the PTAs but now is the property of the school district The equipment ordered removed exists at six of the 21 schools Another six schools have playground equipment but not of the type banned by the board The six schools where the banned equipment is are Club Heights Mar Lon Hills Park Other types of playground equipment are at Lakeview Lomond View North Ogden North Park Roy and Valley View The board has ordered further studies before deciding what action to take in connection with this equipment which includes climbing equipment and bars In its recommendation to the board the study committee said playground equipment at the schools be consistent with the physical education program of the school and provide for the physical development by requiring to climb hang or Other items in the nine-point report included: Equipment such as swings teeter totters and slide should be removed from school playgrounds and transferred to an adjacent city park where possible Playground equipment should be maintained in as safe a manner as possible For example certain pieces of equipment could be lowered without losing their ef- him fectiveness and be safer for a use Playground equipment should not be located over asphalt or other similar surfaces Certain cushioning materials could be installed under the equipment However this type of material is very expensive Sand is a less expensive and adequate surface beneath the equipment A curb should be installed around the area with continual maintainence to keep the surface from becoming hard View Riverdale West Weber Roosevelt and iSSSlif IB JULY 14 1973 SATURDAY EVENING OGDEN UTAH Section Of Employes Civic Leaders Laud Forest Service Announcement
