City School Rebudgeting Topic At Sidney Board Meeting
The Sidney Board of Education will hold a special meeting Thursday night to consider rebudgeting for 1969-70. The move comes as state aid to schools rises from 25 to 35 million dollars, creating questions about altering the local levy and how tax statements will be affected. Local officials fear work and costs could be wasted if levies must be recalculated, while others argue the windfall should lower next year’s budgets or be saved for 1970-71.
