Not As Punitive For Schools As Feared
The Raleigh report shows High Point public schools can operate with modest reform under the new law. Superintendent Andrews reports the equalization board allowance near expectations, enabling about a $60,000 cut in last year’s $438,000 maintenance cost. Teacher pay may fall about ten percent, while most savings come from noninstructional items as housing remains sound. The city avoids a supplementary budget and tax burden.
