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

LETTERS To
The EDITOR
C lackam as
High
School,
against some of the decisions
by the Planning Commission
and the County Commissioner*
Tim e and time again Hazel
Stevens needed help to stop the
depredations
by
g ra v e l
operators in the Clackamas
River and the struggle is still
continuing
In the future
We
need to
stop
the
proliferation of rural slums by
developers
We need to tighten sewage
permits If an owner elects to
put in his own system, the
sanitation department can not,
legally, go on private property
and force the owner to dig it up
for inspection
We need to get some hard and
fast rules on the alarming in­
crease of small airports in our
residential area
We need to support people
appearing tiefore legislative
hearings Legislators inquire
as to the number of people we
represent
We need to fill appointment*
for the various boards with new
people
We need to present a united
front in elections to get people
nominated and elected from
our own citizenery
We need to have discussion so
that we are not covering the
same ground as the one right
before us did
We need to g ath er in ­
formation and send out a
newsletter on environmental,
ta x a b le and g overnm ental
happenings
In d iv id u a ls a re tire d of
voters approved last year The budget was
reviewed and approved by the elected
School Board and th e fiv e other
representative citizens on the budget
committee
Many citizens express concern because
property taxes must provide most of the
financial support for schools We agree the
present system is unfair We are sup­
porting efforts at the Legislature to
provide much needed tax reform, but until
those efforts are successful we have no
choice but to ask local voters to approve a
budget levy We need a budget now so we
can purchase supplies and equipment and
do other work necessary to get ready for
school
in
Septem ber.
When
the
Legislature's increase in state support is
known, the levy voters approve will be
reduced an amount equal to the addit'onal
state support
We will vote Tuesday, June 26, on a
proposed grade school operating budget
levy for 1973-'74 The levy was defeated by
76 votes at the regular annual school
election M ay 7 There were 907 who voted
at the May 1972 election, but only 648 voted
at the M ay 1973 election.
