The Sidney Public Schools budget for the 1958 1959 fiscal year was approved by District No 1 on May 5 1958. The action formalizes funding for operations and services to be provided in the upcoming school year.
The Sidney School District carries bonded debt larger than desirable, with the School Board addressing rapid population growth in a businesslike way. The 1958-59 budget rises by 57 thousand dollars, funded by four new teachers and modest salary increases for returning teachers. Superintendent O. J. Weymouth notes the board aims for economic operation while maintaining an adequate program.

Sidney Public Schools show an enrollment increase of 338 students by 1961 from current figures. Elementary enrollment stayed near 1200 in Sept 1957 and 1201 on May 8 1958. A drop from 710 to 683 noted since Sept, due to high school attrition, with projections through 1961 1962 assuming stable population.
The Sidney School Lunch Program started September 1955 and by fall 1956 all elementary schools joined.

The program, aided by local clubs, aims to continue at 25 cents per meal despite rising costs.
