He noted the district’s 9.7 percent of students benefit, and that state funding has dropped from 70 percent to 34 percent this year, raising local taxes 12.4 percent.

Scottsdale district faces March 15 deadline for budget override vote
A district official said the Scottsdale School District must decide by March 15 on a budget override for a spring election to meet legal timing before summer. Administrative manager Jack Kearney noted the 1977-78 budget is already $650,000 over the limit and cuts may raise class sizes or reduce programs. Board President Paul Streich urged a 5 percent cut in admin costs and separating athletics funds into interscholastic and intramural categories to justify reductions.
