John Knapp, 27, was convicted last November of setting a fire in 1973 that killed his daughters, lona, 2, and Linda, 3, in the family's home in Mesa.

School Board Receives Input On District's Art Program Fourteen areas tor investigation were presented to the Flagstaff Board of Education Monday night by an Art Study Committee looking into the district's art programs.

Mrs. Jackie Prizer presented the material to the board for its information. Supt. of Education David A. Williams said the committee will now serve as a resource committee to a larger Ciuzeiis Advisory Committee which will be appointed at the Feb.

3 board meeting. Mrs. Prizer said areas for the citizen's committee to investigate would be setting as a goal the development of a superior art program for all students and providing special opportunities for the gifted and talented students. Other goals would include educating administrators and faculty to the needs and goals of a superior art program, hiring teachers for art with proper academic preparation and the right personality to fit district goals, and the increased use of volunteer art resource persons. The committee also suggested a budget for the art supervisor as well as supplements through principals' budgets to assure a basic support for art in every school.

It also suggested increased time for elementary art experiences, and attention to scheduling and course offerings in secondary schools to assure that student needs are adequately met. Arts and crafts also need to be more closely aligned, the study group said, and the need for silver and metalcraft and other Southwestern arts should be explored. The committee also suggested more use of available experience resources, such as trips, grants, demonstrations and loan exhibits, visible use of the art program to reach out into the community, the alteration of facilities not now suitable for art activities the examination of the necessity for consultant and supervisory help. The citizen's committee will study these areas and make recommendations to the board on possible actions. The board also approved a policy handbook, containing all district policies and including those policy changes made last year by the board or by state law.

Williams suggested the board review and reapprove the handbook each year, in which the board concurred. Paul W. Sorenson, in approving the handbook, restated an earlier suggestion of his that the board set goals for itself each year. A resolution to form a unified school district was unanimously approved by the board, contingent on an allowable 60 cent special levy authorization now being drafted by the state legislature. Sorenson said he was worried that the high school and elementary budgets would not be fairly divided, or that certain programs would be funded at the of another program with the single budget Williams said the board would still hU I proval of the budget to preclude such an Sorenson also commented on an opi Deputy County Attorney that district not forbidden to distribute partisan material through the employe mailboxes Sorenson said he and former board memh Howard C.
