TOPEKA AP Policy guidelines now being determined will cut the number of districts seeking to raise 1966 costs above the general 104 percent limit. By Monday 196 districts had applied to a three member review board for permission to exceed 104 percent and still qualify under the foundation program. The board, with Adel F Throckmorton James W Bibb and Roy Shaspiro, agreed on limits including no capital improvements for exceeding the limit and no approvals where salaries of current year are covered by next year's budget. Unification must show specific increases and general improvements in a unified district cannot justify exceeding the limit. An outside accountant may screen appeals. The foundation program adds about 36 million state dollars, lifting state participation to roughly 40 percent. The 4 percent budget increase cap was set to curb local tax growth alongside state funding.
