MESSAGE FROM THE
BOARD OF EDUCATION
During the past several months the Board of Education, together
with its Administration, have been exerting most of their efforts to
reviewing and reducing costs in the proposed 1975-76. School Budget.
In many areas it was necessary for us to curtail requested items
and programs so as to minimize our tax increase.
The Board of Education feels that the proposed budget represents
a good compromise between maintaining a good educational
program and holding its cost to a level within our ability to pay.
There will be members of our community who feel we have cut too
deeply and those who feel we have not cut deeply enough. The budget
we are proposing, we feel, is a good compromise between these two
limits. ,
The increase in the proposed budget is $720,163 which represents a
5.50% increase over last year's approved budget. As a comparison it
should be noted that the increase in cost of living this year has ex­ceeded
8%.
The principal reasons for the increases are: salary increases
which were tied to the cost of living; cost of supplies and materials;
cost of oil, electricity, and telephone service.
To offset some of these increased costs, we have instituted an
energy conservation program which has reduced our costs by over
$100,000. We have reduced our staff by 104 people. We have curtailed
our supplies and materials. In some areas we have reduced
programs and in others we have eliminated programs.
This has been a difficult year for all of us in the fact that we have
had an inflation, a number of people in the community were hit with
the impact of the recession, and the support from the State has been
minimal at best.
In preparing this budget we have attempted to take all these
factors into account. We hope we have succeeded to your satisfac­tion.
Your approval would be the best measure of that.
We ask that you examine the budget carefully and supports its
adoption by your affirmative vote on JUNE 11th.

MESSAOE FROM YOUR
BOARD OF EDUCATION
This year your Board of Education was faced with one of its most
difficult budget preparations. We have been caught between
skyrocketing costs and the possiblity of a reduction in state aid.
Because of inflation, it will take aditional funds just to maintain
existing services. In addition, and most significantly, school district
are attempting to estimate the cost of running their school districts
without any knowledge from the Legislature on state aid for­thcoming.
