Renewal Of Vocational Class Contracts Delayed By Board
The Elyria City Board of Education again delayed renewal of contracts for vocational classes at General Industries and Thew Shovel. Superintendent R C Maston said he had not received required information on payment methods and frequency from the State Department of Education. The state pays half the class cost and the remaining half is covered by the companies. State law requires local school board supervision, so the board must renew contracts and receive the state's share to pay the teachers.

Budget Entails $335,000 Teachers Payroll and School Costs
The payroll estimate rises to 335000 from 325000 for 1937 due to restored salary schedules and higher school services plus added kindergarten costs of 6000 funded by transfers. Operating costs climb 10000 to 38000 with the Jefferson Junior High addition, higher janitorial, coal and light bills, and a water bill payment plan stemming from rulings on city water charges. A December 31 balance is forecast at 25524, with officials noting this is insufficient for next year's early expenses without tax revenue.
