School Budget Receives Broad Approval For 1975 76
The 7 873 831 dollar school year budget won quick public approval at a Monday hearing with board members and major taxpayers present. The plan includes 2.7 million in construction bonds and reflects a 16 percent rise from the prior year driven by higher operating costs and a 352 000 increase in teacher and professional salaries. Oil company representatives from Gulf Texaco Superior and others reviewed the figures and found the budget sound though staff costs rose. They offered little criticism and congratulated the district on managing rising service and material costs.
