Linn-Mar Aims to Fix Its Year End Balance
Linn-Mar school district plans a five year path to strengthen its undesignated cash balance to 8 to 10 percent of operating fund receipts by 2001. Measures include reallocating 270000 from instructional support funds annually, maintaining reserve levies of 370000 plus deficits coverage, and a 200000 contingency each year. Implied next year budget change could reach 286500 with staff realignments and schedule revisions. A petition from 60 parents opposes cuts to Indian Creek Elementary staff.
