Wells Budget Cuts Athletics
Wells faces a 139000 reduction to the 1975 budget with athletic funding fully hit. The school committee cut the interscholastic sports line and other posts, while LD1L994 forces Wells to redirect funds to the state for subsidy redistribution. Superintendent Vose says athletic expenses for the remaining season are covered but vanish after February 16. The town must raise 265000 to spend 145000 on schools unless subsidy rules change.
