A detailed 1954 budget is urged by Vice President Woodruff to show exact allocations for items like other educational supplies. The 1953 surplus was 80,000, largely from selling North School, leaving actual 1953 surplus at 10,000. The board approved 12.15 mills for operations and 1.83 for debt, with some bond funds aiding Armco Steel property taxes. Salary increases follow, and a plan to evaluate non teaching staff is set, alongside hires for summer vocational shop maintenance.
