Ron Ward, Mark Piper. Bruce
Young. Wesley Marian and Terry
Thompson were the recipients
At a spec ial meeting May 22, the
Morrow County School Board vexed
unanimously to submit a school
operating levy two percent below the
May 16 operating levy of approx
imately $1.7 million that was
defeated by 81 votes This two per
cent equals $176,432 which is
$1,322,600 above the safety net
figure
"T he May election defeat of
measure number one. tells us that
people like to keep a handle on local
school spending," said Board
member Jerry McElligott • And.”
he added, "while the county school
budget is up by only 7 percent, the
county tax rate goes up by approx
imately 20 percent due to a $30
million drop in total county assess
ed valuation ’*
Without taking any specific cuts,
the Board decided to reduce the
overall general fund budget While
the reduction will not cut any
specified programs or services, the
Board considered the fact that the
current cash carryover of $290,000
is larger than anticipated
Superintendent Doyle McCaslin e*
plained that this larger reserve is
possible because property insurance
costs are down, interest earnings arc
higher than anticipated and less
money was spent on asbestos
removal than predicted
The election date has been set for
June 27 as a walk in election "W e
are hoping for a positive result at this
tim e," says Mr McCaslin
In regard to the signing of the
teacher contract, it still had not been
signed Monday night "W e arc still
working on it," says McCaslin The
board meets again Wednesday
(tonight) to further discuss the situa
turn and hopefully come to a
conclusion
Chris Rauch was re-named in
last week’s paper under the
conservation family picture
