Directors Foresee Schools Hurting From Shafer Ax
Corry Area School directors warned last night that Gov. Shafer’s budget plan would raise local tax levies and reduce subsidies. Corry would face a 6.4 percent budget increase, while Columbus, Concord, Elgin, Spring Creek, and Wayne districts would face double digit or near double digit hikes. The proposal cuts state education subsidies from 650 to 467 per pupil, threatening budgets finalized for the new term that began July 1. The PSBA pushes for higher subsidies, while Corry’s balance at year end stood at 106,203 with 83,000 earmarked in the 1970 1971 budget, and a jointure refund of 81,207 headed to member districts.
