Pine Creek approves budget and staff changes in school division
The Pine Creek School Division finalized its 1978 budget at 2,694,573 dollars, a 10 percent rise, with a required municipal levy of 787,155 dollars. A five mill increase is noted, offset by a one mill cut, keeping overall levy higher at 41.5 mills. The budget does not fund program expansion due to unsettled collective agreements. The district seeks funds to install a tie control on MacGregor Collegiate gym heating, and bids for MacGregor renovations and Plumas Elementary windows were accepted. Staffing changes include Patricia Pugh taking over Stone duties at William Collegiate and Carol Jarvis hired as clerk typist.
