Mt Anthony budget hearing draws sparse turnout and budget debate
A public hearing on Mt Anthony Union High School's 1968 69 budget drew fewer than 200 attendees of 10 000 taxpayers. Administrators and teachers filled most seats as officials led questions on items from bus driver uniforms to truancy work and $51 872 in equipment needs for 325 ninth to twelfth graders. The budget includes $1.75 million for next year with discussions covering administration, facilities, and potential cuts, while the Bennington Taxpayers Protective Association weighs a formal written ballot.
