Lompoc Trustees Adopt 10.8 Million School Budget
The Lompoc district approved the 1970-71 general fund budget totaling over 10.8 million dollars an 8.5 percent increase. The plan relies on a 3.85 dollar tax rate per 100 value, with 2.70 for general fund and the rest from permissive overrides. Trustees criticized federal delays and P L 874 funding threats and discussed hiring a common lobbyist to assist federally impacted districts. Superintendent Wegner cited collaboration with 12 districts and past Washington visits to secure PL 874 funds tied to bases like Vandenberg Air Force Base. The board also approved continuation school under a state program.
