State aid delay could hit Marion schools hard
Marion Unit 2 School District faces a $347,927 shortfall if the g overnor's plan to delay the June state aid payment is enacted. Superintendent A C Storme said the move isn't merely bookkeeping and that the district would remain underpaid for at least two years even with proposed interest. The board and James Sanders pressed state officials to oppose the plan while Storme noted other federal funding cuts, including a 40 percent drop in school lunch participation. The district also announced a one time Social Security benefit extension for fourteen seniors and approved upgrades including a public address system at the Marion Athletic Complex and the purchase of 24 IBM Selectric typewriters for $17,097.75.
