School Board Considers
Many Factors in Changes
The Medford school board,
in reviewing the recent defeat
by district voteri of a pro
posal to exceed the is per cent
limitation, took into consider
ation several factors govern
ing increasing school costs and
possible objectional factors in
the proposed budget before
reaching its decision to reduce
the budget and call another
election.
District patrons will vote
May 28 on a new proposal - a
proposal which, if approved,
will reduce the amount of in
crease estimated in the first
proposal from 3.35 mills to 2.9
mills.
Voters, however, still will
vote on the amount of the
budget exceeding the 6 per
cent limitation. The estimated
increase in taxes over the
amount paid during the pres
ent year is about $130,000,
distributed over as? estimated
assessed valuation of $45 mil
lion. Express Opinion
In discussing the budget fol
lowing the proposal's defeat
at the polls May 2, the school
board, budget committee and
advisory committee expressed
the opinion that the citizens
of the district did not want to
reduce in any way the quality

Electric Coop in
Area Dissolved
The Twin Counties Electric
Cooperative, formed in April,
1952, was dissolved last week
at a meeting of the directors
and members in Medford.
The decision was reached,
It was reported, because the
objective of cooperative had
been largely attained. It was
formed to further the cause
of rural electrification in
Jackson and Josephine coun
ties. The members agreed that
everything possible had been
done to bring electric power
into the rural areas of the
two counties.
The rural areas were rep

With this In mind, they re-1 lunch, student couiuselfca, and
viewed the problems of in
creasing school costs, which
are:
(1) Increasing number of
students.
(2) Rising costs of supplies,
equipment, and other capital
outlay items.
(3) Rising costs of social se
curity and retirement bene
fits. (4) Teachers and staff sal
aries. (9) Decrease in percentage
of state financial aid.
Of the Items causing major
increases, only the fourth,
salaries, can be controlled by
the budget committee or the
school board.
However, the board ex
pressed the belief that, after
reviewing salary schedules of
other school districts in the
state with which Medford
must compete, the proposed
schedule for Medford teachers
and staff members is justifi
able, and is needed to obtain
and hold capable teachers,
staff members and employees.

SNOW ON EMOKIIS
Gatlingburg, Tenn.-iOT-The
tops of the Smokies were cov
ered with snow yesterday
when temperatures dropped
to the freezing mark In high
elevations of the great Smoky
Mountains National Park.

by such drastic actions is com-
special education programs.
However, these aspects of
the program are now consid
ered a part of a comprehensive
public school program, and
the board believed it desirable
to keep on a realistic economi
cal basis.
The board reviewed all
services provided by the dis
trict, They included transpor
tation, the lunch program, ac
tivities such as speech, dra
matics, athletics, intra-mural
athletics in the esementary
schools, music, summer school,
special education classes for
the retarded, physically handi
capped and the gifted, and in'
service program for teachers
and other staff members,
These services have been
developed over several years
by request of district patrons.
and the board felt that elimin
ating or reducing these serv
ices would have a detrimental
affect on the overall school
program.
Costs in these areas, the
board noted, had previously
been analyzed and tax-costing
items reduced or eliminated
where it could be done with
out crippling the academic
program or handicapping stu
dents in areas of the district.
Planning Renovations
The board noted that the:
district has followed a policy:
of planning renovations, re
pairs and maintenance on a
long-range basis with a pro-;
portionate amount done each
year. This Includes replace
ment of equipment such as
desks and machinery.
In reducing the budget
Saturday, the board did post
pone some purchases and
renovation which would not
greatly jeopardize the pro
gram and which would not
increase their cost next year
except for price increases.
The reductions In the budget
were made after a careful re
view and analysis of the dis
trict's philosophy and total
school program, as well as
goals and achievements. But
the majority of the reductions
were achieved only by defer
ring certain phases of next
year's program without ad
versely affecting the Instue-
tional program.
The reductions from the
proposed budget made Satur
day total $21,279, which is
comparatively small amount
of a large budget. However,
before the first proposal was
approved by the board and
submitted to the voters, the
budget committee and board
had eliminated more than
$85,000 worth of items which
It felt could be deferred until
some date In the near future,
Overall Reductions
Taking the $21,279 reduced
from the budget, and adding
the $85,000 which the com
mittee and board removed
from the budget before it
first went to the voters, re
ductions from the start of the
budget consideration total
more than $108,000,
Despite the fact that the
$21,279 reduction may be
considered small or a "token"
amount of the total expendi
tures of the district, the board
believed that it could not re
duce the budget more without
adversely affecting the in
structional program.
One of the items Included
In tee reduction last Saturday
was a reduction of the super
intendent's salary from $18,
000 to $16,500, a reduction
which was made after many
hours of discussion and con
sideration. Frank Bash, who was chair
man of the school board in
the 1958-89 school year, point
ed out that Dr. Leonard B.
Mayfield, superintendent, has
been sought by one of the
largest districts In Oregon a;
superintendent of schools at
a salary of $17,000. This offer
was made by the other district
early last year,
Bash said that although Dr.
Mayfield's salary at that time
was $1,500 less, he preferred
to remain in Medford, and a
superintendent was obtained
by the other district from the
Mid-West,
Previous to that, Spokane,
Wash., school officials had
asked if Dr. Mayfield was
available.
Aware of Csissideraiien
In preparing this year's
budget, the budget committee
was aware that Dr. Mayfield
was considered one of the out
standing superintendents In
the state, and the committee
felt that Medford schools
need him.
As result, over Br, May
field's protest, the board in
sisted that his salary be set
at $18,000, The committee snd
board felt that, with the high
regard held for Dr. Mayfield
by educational leaders In the
northwest, an Increase in sal
ary would afford some assur
ance of retaining him.
Bash stressed that Dr, May
field had nothing to do per
sonally with the proposed in
crease in his salary. The In
crease wj one of the focil
