Shaftsbury Faces Big Cut in State Education Aid
Shaftsbury, Vt. district expects about 48000 in state aid for 1970-71, a 55000 drop from 1969-70 after a state spot check found the Grand List value only 30 percent of real worth. Board chair Joseph Crossman expressed doubt over appeal results. Representative Kelton Miller attended, questioning formula fluctuations and proposing outside appraisers. The district may raise taxes, fund a mobile classroom, or rent space as it reassesses expansion plans. A hot lunch program interest shows 67 percent parental support for next year, with costs to be determined.
