On the School Budget My Turn Mark Bremseth Never has it been easy to be on the school board, and try to devise ways to divide the “pie of the budget to enough groups to satisfy every one. Preston-Foun- tain has been feeling the inflation crunch for two years. As a student. 1 have noticed the cuts. We used to have a late activity bus, but that is now gone. Field trips have been seriously reduced, vocal music, home economics and art have only part time teachers, and janitorial and secretarial staffs have been reduced, all in the effort to save a few dollars. Sports themselves have not been immune to these cuts. We used to be able to go out for wrestling, cross coun- try, and gymnastics, but no more. While the school has continued to operate under these reductions, they have limited choices. These were hard enough to take, but then just one week before the school opened its doors this fall the Governor announces that there will be a 5.3% state aid budget cut “It is expensive, but sure seems necessary. ” across the board. Teacher contracts had been signed, supplies had been ordered, and everyone thought the year was ready to begin, when suddenly we had to find a place to magically cut more than $70,000 from the budget. The school district found itself in a bind and had to find some way of making up for the lost revenue. In October a suggestion was made that a referendum of six (6) mills be tried. An election on the matter was held just two days after the general election on November 6, 1980. It was hoped that with this additional reve- nue the school district would be able to at least make up the moneys lost by the Gov- ernor’s cut. The referendum was to be an indefinite one which would be rescinded only by a reverse petition, because the school would continue to have troubles in the future as a result of enrollment declines. It is expensive, but sure seems necessary. Herman’s Standard For All Your Mechanical Needs The best place to fulfill all of your fuel needs is Herman's Standard.
