Maple School asks 30 cent tax hike for voters in district
Maple School voters will ballot August 18 on a 30 cent increase for the elementary district. Absentee ballots available until August 12. Superintendent Clyde Johnston notes districts face higher costs from 1953-54 to 1963-64, driven by salaries up 124 percent and pupil growth from 139 to 162. The district cites a 56 percent expenditure rise and outlines funded programs including grades, music, home economics, crafts, typing, library, kindergarten, transportation, and lunch, plus mandatory foreign language beginning fall 1965.
