Budget trims rely on interest to balance district education fund
Holm says the district balanced its education fund budget after transferring 390000 from the working cash fund derived from interest on a 3200000 fund. Next year interest will drop to 150000 to 180000, affecting potential revenue and possibly more losses if property tax caps pass. The board approved a three year contract with the Matteson Education Association granting 5 percent annual raises, offset by retirements and employees paying 25 percent of family health plan increases. Single teachers will pay 5 per month for coverage starting May 1, 1994.
