X. Thun.. June 21, 1973 (Sec 1) S AN DY (Ore.) POST School budget vote The second binding of the hard covered Centennial book Is now available In Handy. The Centennial book Is en titled "Handy Pioneers Early Hettlers and Barlow Road Days" and now is available In (Continued from Page 1) true cash value of the district la expected to show considerable growth It la hoped by the hoard that the combination of in creased state aid and value growth will assist the local property owner in the tax arena Meanwhile, Sandy High is much like many districts who find themselves without realistic tax bases For example, the amount that the budget board could levy without voter approval is only $185,769 out of a proposed 11,147,071 Vote on June 28 The following is a statement submitted to the Post from Sandy grade supenn tendent Tony Bryant concerning the proposed budget The Sandy Grade School Board has set Tuesday, June 26, as the election date for the proposed 1073 74 operating levy This budget was reviewed and approved by the school board and budget committee The increase in our budget is due in part to an increase in students In September 1971, we had 1,234 students, in June 1973 we had 1,310 This along with the announced new housing development* indicate* we will continue to grow adjustments were made in terms of average salaries being paid for sim ilar jobs Along with this is some increase in fixed charges Some increase is due to our moving into new facilities this fall, and our aim to m a in ta in a fa v o ra b le stu d ent-teach er class load As in past years, it continues to be the districts policy to maintain a good school program at a competive cost The 1971 72 audit cost figures for the elementary districts at Canby, M ollala, E stacad a and Sandy shows Sandy's average cost per student $100 per student under the average of these four larger e le m e n ta ry d is tric ts in C lackam as County Also in comparing the 1972-73 tax rates of the before mentioned county elemen tary school districts, we find Sandy's tax rate some $1 IS per $1,000 of true cash value under the average tax rate of the group The legislative assembly now in session in Salem has promised to come up with some increase in the state basic school Some increase is due to salary ad justments made by the board All such support and when this is known, this amount will be subtracted from the levy the voters approve We do not have a tax base and so moneys to maintain our schools, except for county and state sources, must come from local property taxes Our fiscal year starts July 1 We need a budget now so we can prepare for classes to start in September The elementary school program, we hold, is the foundation of each child’s educational program for life as well as an investment in the future human resources of the community and state We urge a careful consideration of the proposed budget The kids and community deserve it Please vote! Also grade school board chairman R obert E R ichardson and budget chairman John A Rowell submitted this statement to the Post urging for people to vote on the school issue: The School Board has called a second election because the schools cannot operate for a full year without a special levy Sandy Grade School does not have a tax base so any dollars we spend for school expenses in excess of state and county moneys require voter approval each year This is not a new levy It replaces the one ZM lb.
