Busing Proposition Goes Down;
Voters Approve Revised Budget
The F r ^ p o r t school budget re-submitted to voters last Thursday, July 9, was approved
by.a vote of 1781 to 14S2. The total vote of 3,213 represents a lighter turn-out at the polls
than at the initial budget vote when 3,832 Freeporters cast their ballots. The final budget
approved vsras $11,880,7^, which will bring the school tax rate up to $9.43, an increase of
65c over last year's rate.
The Library budget was also affirmed by a vole of 1854 to 1346.
The busing proposition, separated on this ballot from the original budget, went down
by a near 2 to 1 margin. The

disadvantaged and de­fined
this through the reading
level. This peiTnitted any diild
with a readtog difficulty to be

a coneentratiion on the priority
needs of poor diildren.
Ht. Jolm E. Gordon, Assistant
Su^L of Aftounistration of Free-port
Sdiook, indicated the inter­pretation
would not materially
affect the Freeport schools be­cause
most local programs are
aimed at powet^. "But liiere is
a 'fon-out' fior diswlvantag^
children." he ^id.
In FVeeport, he said, reading
teadiers ami vario^ guidan^

schnols, affected 62 students, wte
would have had busing provi^M
to 8 total of 18 different private
school at a cost to taxpayers of
Pi,on. The schools, mostly <^ a
secondaiV educational level, i^
locate faietween ten and 25 m^^
outside the school district $
Tbs parage of the bu^^t
averted the adoption of an aus­terity
budget for the 1970-71
school year, and will permit the
continuation of such non-man­dated
programs as totenj^oliijto
athletics, lunn^i prograinia^fviSiiibic
program, etc. State man^b^
costs include only teaching sala­ries
and classroom maintenMiCe.
Freeporters definitely rejected
austerity budgets, but the de£nft
