County Education Board Cuts Improvement Plans
The county education board approved a budget reduction totaling 46 000 with 15 000 trimmed from furniture 40 000 remaining for that line and 15 000 cut from library and new books bringing total cuts to 49 000 16 900 sliced from other allocations leaving 43 100. The board kept 35 000 for county share from federal funds and did not fund remodeling of 135 000. They must repay 50 000 borrowed from High Point schools and will not fund all planned additions including four elementary additions at 125 000 each and two industrial arts shops at 90 000 each. The action leaves space constraints as accreditation drive continues with 800 more pupils this year and around 800 last year.
