North Bennington school budget discussion and events
North Bennington School Board spent two hours reviewing the 1976-77 budget with salaries for teachers and the principal noted at 120 505. A date for next year’s contract talks was discussed, but a final decision was delayed by Lionel Nowak’s absence. The board planned repairs to the main building and the adjacent home economics building, with a plan to lease the latter to a new tenant. Students will march in the Bicentennial parade with a float donated by Fall Farms. The gymnastic show drew a large crowd, highlighting older students helping younger ones. School ends June 16 with the annual meeting on June 3. John Scarey seeks re election with filing June 9-16.
