Board OKs liquor ban on school grounds

The Utah Board of Education passed an emergency rule on 2 December 1997 to ensure no alcoholic beverages are served on school grounds at a January gala for the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts at Park City High School.  The arts center will use the school's new auditorium under a joint operating agreement.   The arts center had contended that the school would not be in session during evening civic events and believed it should be able to serve alcoholic beverages to adults attending performances, art exhibits or special events.
