Establish ing the district prepares the way for putting a serial levy before the voters which, if ap proved, would fund sports and other extracurricular activities for the county's school child ren. Supporters of the district had hoped to get the serial levy on the May ballot, but state regula tions have forced them to shoot for a September 26 vote. The co-curricular plan is in response to a school district decision to cut all sports and extra-curricular activities at all schools in the county. The district is facing a funding crisis because of Ballot Measure 5 and changes in the state school funding formula. Besides elim inating extra-curricular ac tivities, the district is cutting teachers, programs and voted to contract bussing services as a cost-saving measure. Organizers of the recreation district say they eventually hope to include activities for pre-school children and adults as well as school children. Co-curricular committee member Cyde Estes said that because the serial levy cannot be on the May ballot, it will be necessary to initially fund school sports and other ac tivities through donations.
