LETTERS to the
Dear Mr. Editor:
Many iieuyii:
confused about the 1?C1C2
school budget and I hop that
It will be possible to clear up
ome of the misunderstandings.
Let me Mate aome common
questions and answers:
Q. If the budget Is voted down,
does the amount In last yeaia
budget automatically go Into ef-
,cct? . , .
A. No. The amount of last
year's budget has no bearing on
next year's school operation.
Without a voter approved budget
the school district could raise
$191,513 In local school taxes;
this with state basic and other
school funds would leave the
school district short $509,000 of
Its estimated needs.
Q. How long could the schools
operate without a budget?
A. We estimate that legally
available funds would be ex
hausted by November 30, 1961.
Q. What would be done to op
erate the schools If no funds
were available?
A. Without funds or an ap
proved budget the schools would

Q. How much time dots the
-
school district have In petting
a budert anuroved?
A. To be placed on this year's
tax rolls, the budget must b in
the assessor's office by July 15th.
Q. Could the voters approve a
budget after July 15th?
A. Yes. the voters could ap
prove a budget at any time, but
after July 15th. It would oe
placed on the 19G2 tax rolls?
o. If the voters auurove a oua-
gel after July 15th. could the
schools operate?
A. Yes. even thougn no taxes
would be collected In November,
1961, for school purposes, the
school district could borrow
money by Issuing warrants
against the approved budget
These warrants would be paia
hv lavpa collected In IsovemDer,
19G2. for the 19C1C2 school year.
Thus, It would be possible for
the taxnavers to be paying on
two school tax levies in one year.

out more about the proposed
1961-62 school budget?
A. Budget discussion meetings
