Fawbush outlines proposals
for school financing
In the s ta te House of
Representatives.
one
last
attem pt is being made to pass
some kind of school finance
legislation before the session
expires
In a report from Rep Wayne
Faw bush,
th re e
m a jo r
proposals were outlined.
“ A ll three proposals would
establish some type of base to
allow schools to rem ain open,
but they all differ in how this
would be accomplished,” he
said.
The

said, resem bles
defeated Ballot Measure No. 1
in that levy amounts from the
previous year would apply if
the district had no budget when
schools open. However, there
would be no autom atic increase
of the budget and no lim it as to
the num ber of elections a
district could hold.
A

lim itation which could only be
increased by a vote of the
people. Any increase in state
support under this provosal
would go towards property tax
relief rather than increasing
the school budget.
The third proposal simply
states that when a school levy is
passed by the voters, the levy
then becomes the new tax base.
The school board could then
le v y th a t y e a r ’s am ount
without a vote but any in
creases in that budget would
require a vote.
At the approxim ate ten per
cent inflation rate, a levy
defeat would then constitute an
ten per cent reduction in
available funds for the school.
“ I personally favor the last
proposal,'’ said Fawbush. “ It
w ill insure that schools w ill not
close and it should encourage
school boards to hold down
their spending.”
