Administration Faces Problems of Financing Education The 1973-74 School Board and Administration faced the ever increasing problem of inflation. The low cost per pupil in the Atlantic School System left little room for errors and extras when the budget for the school year was laid out. The cost per pupil in Atlantic for the past year was 5785. This figure was the second lowest in the entire state. The school board has always main- tained the policy of prudent spending in order to eliminate Waste and obtain greater efficiency. The cost of operation came from the following general fund receipts: 51W of the total budget is received from local taxes, this being in the sum of Fp987,520g 46? from state taxes in the sum of S900,4lO, 2.55 from federal taxes in the sum of 3549,702, and the remaining .571 from miscellaneous revenue. A major problem facing our school is that the state revenue plan places the possible district ex- penditure in a direct relationship to the enrollment, when in fact this relationship is not a direct one a-t the local level. w .
