Board members answer
school budget questions
H ow does "Safety N e t " affect school districts’
Many school districts around the state don't have
an adequate tax base to operate their schtxils In the
absence o f a tax base, a levy request has to be ap
proved by the voters annually to provide necessary
funds and I'm not certain that this is necessarily bad,
but it docs have some risk
In the interest o f removing some o f this risk,
closure being one. our legislation has offered several ways to fund scf*>ols
but all have been unsuccessful until the voters approved the safety net
The intent was, o f course, to arrive at an acceptable way to keep schools
open in the event o f a levy failure Unfortunately , keeping school open
is not an assurance o f quality education
Several o f the larger districts in the state have recently found themselves
caught in the net and unhappily find it works out to be more o f a trap
than a net.
Hillsboro is a prime example o f the potential for disaster o f having
to reply on the safety net In talking with officials from Hillsboro, the
follow ing items arc earmarked for reduction in order to operate schools
on approximately $2 5 million less than last year
-School opened without any buses except special education A ll extra
curricular activities and related staff were cut
On October 30, half o f the custodians o f six junior high buildings,
one custodian from all high schtnil buildings, and all athletic directors
-January 25, 45 teachers will be terminated
A ll these staffing changes bring on a bumping procedure that ripples
throughout the district
It is not my intent to make a case for another district but only point
out that tfie voting public may not have been fully informed o f the con
sequences o f dropping into safety net
Hillsboro and may others arc now cxperienceing the full impact o f
the safety net and the results are far different than anyone had expected
Applying M orrow County to this scenario would show a decrease in
revenue o f $731,000, under the safety net Last spring wc were being
forced to look at the devastation o f cutting less than halt this amount
from our budget had the voters not approved the levy.
With the experience that some districts are having, we arc able to sec
the consequences without actually having to be a part o f them In this
respect, wc are fortunate in not having been one o f the casualties in this
learning process.
G iven time, the errors in this approach will be corrected In the in
tenm. many students arc going to be impacted By informing ourselves
as voters, well in advance o f an election. Morrow County shouldn't have
to share this unpleasant position
As in most new pnx-cv.se», it is easier to get into the net than anyone
could predict and at the present time getting out may be impossible
