Pinckneyville schools may face borrowing to cover bills
Pinckneyville Grade School District 50 may borrow 85000 to 100000 if Perry County tax bills are late. Superintendent Felix Murrell warned that without September tax money the district must borrow monthly to operate. A tentative 1981-82 budget was filed, nearly identical to last year with a 10 percent salary raise, and the milk program was dropped due to reduced federal funds.
