Two of the lesser publicized administra- tive positions that are very important to our school are those of Business Manager and Tax Assessor-Collector. Here at JHS these two positions are held by just one person, Preston Joy. His job is to appraise and value personal and real property in our district, establish ownership, prepare tax notices and collect taxes. Tax money that is collected is used in two ways. A portion of it is used to retire school bonds that were sold in 1962. The greater portion goes directly to the school to pay for goods and services for which we do not receive funding from the state. Like the Federal Minimum Wage Act which established a floor for salaries, the State of Texas has established the Mini- mum Foundation Act which grants monies to all accredited schools to pay minimum salaries and operating expenses. All districts are also assessed and must pay a specific amount as their share. This year the amount we contributed was $121,487. Married to Vera Beth Wade and the father of Cash, Mr. Joy (right) has been an employee of the JISD for 2 years. In terms of seniority in the Business Office, Janet Allsup (below) takes, the hon- ors. She has been bookkeeper for the last 6 years. Also assisting in the downtown office is Mrs. John Lockett. 18
