School Board Faces Budget Gaps and Staffing Proposals

Expenditures for the year show a $46,320.73 increase with estimates from $1,829,320 reduced by $25,320. projected year total $1,819,197. The board requests a $16,000 extra appropriation for salaries and supports a pay plan for the evening school superintendent.

A Health Board regulation update is sought to curb contagious diseases, and a $75,000 appropriation is asked to expand the Normal School building.
