The Malverne School District
12 Board of Education has an-nounced
revised budget figures
for the budget that will be pre-sented
to the voters on June 14.
The Board stated that the total
net amount of the reductions is
$75,247, and that the tax rate
would probably be reduced from
an estimated tax rate of $7.00
to a rate of $6.72.
The largest item of reduction
is the elimination of the rental
cost for relocatable classrooms,
including furniture and utilities.
The Board also eliminated the
position of transportation dispat-cher.
This position is no longer
necessary since the voters did
not approve transportation for
either kindergarten or pupils at-tending
grades 1 through 5.
Throughout the budget, gener-al
and miscellaneous supplies
were redu< ed, where education
will noL be affected, by an average
of 5%. Funds for the conversion
of tlie kindergarten and special
classrooms and lunchi'ooms were
eliminated.
The budget includes funds for
continuing the elementary sum-mer
school and the driver train-ing
and typing courses scheduled
in Malverne Senior High School.
Fred A. Hook, President of
the Board, stated that the mem-bers
of the Board, three of whom
took office immediately after the
election on May 3, 1966, worked
diligently to review every por-tion
of the budget to try to
determine what items could be
reduced without impairing the
efficiency of the school opera-tion
or the quality of instruc-tion
in the schools. Mr. Hook
also announced that there would
be a public discussion of the pro-posed
changes in the budget at
the regular Board of Education
meeting which is to be held on
June 7, in the music room of
Malverne Junior High School.
The public is invited to attend
this budget discussion hearing.
Persons who are unable to at-tend
mny obtain copies of the
budget revisions at any of the
five schools in the district dur-ing
any school day beginning
June 7 and conthiuing through
June 14.
