School Tax Hike Seen by Trustees Public Hearing Set
The school board set August 15 as the date for a public hearing on the 1966-67 budget that calls for a seven cent tax increase from 51.59 to 1.66. The board has not yet received a final draft from the administration amid four budget presentations. The tentative plan estimates expenditures of 7,501,730 for 1965-67 with anticipated income of 7,302,305, barely balancing under Sauls’ near 200,000 cuts across administration, instruction, maintenance, and capital outlay. The district must adopt the budget by August 20 and send copies to the Texas Education Agency.
