The Lawrence school board approved a 1992-93 budget of 45.8 million with a 48.28 mill levy, down from 77 mills in 1992. Board members not present had sought a 300,000 reduction. The plan funds general operations and includes teacher salary provisions and administrator raises amid enrollment projections and state funding changes.
Kansas wrapped up fiscal year 1992 with a 19.2 million general fund cushion, but budget expert Richard Ryan warned belt tightening ahead for funding the new school finance plan. July receipts fell 1.4 million short of April estimates, and 1.9 million of unused last year funds were shifted in, reducing the surplus to 3.3 million. Ryan projected the school plan would require at least 310 million more in 1994, with two difficult years to follow and possible required spending cuts unless revenues grow or taxes rise.
Oskaloosa will see a budget increase to 3.39 million for 1992-93, with the general fund mill levy dropped from 61.65 to 32 mills and total levy from 67.95 to 36. An additional 4 mills were approved for capital outlay. The board also approved a 34,879 bid from A Lert Corp. for high school gym roof work.
Matthew C. Litton of Lawrence joined 18 other officers in July as the 36th Kansas Military Academy class to complete a 16 month training program. The commissioning occurred at Salina's Bicentennial Center marking the academy's milestone.
