6 A SUNDAY. MAY I, 19S2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON County Residents to Vote on School Districts To Vote on Board Members on Monday Rural School Budget Monday All resident of Jackson county will vote on the amount of the rural school district budget outside the 6 per cent limitation from 2 to B p.m. Monday, May 7. The total budget of the rural school district is $l5r?61. 337.40. Of this amount, the eounty equalized levy is $2,- 553,585.93. The required levy is determined by formula within the law, and is not de termined by the rural school board or the budsct commit tee, the committee noted. The available receipts to offset the total budget are $55,040.64. This leaves the re quired levy of $2,706,296.86. Of this required levy, the re quired county equalized levy makes up 84.36 per cent of the total, and the levy for the operational budget is 4.64 per cent or an estimated 1 13 to l'2 mills. Tx Base for District The tax base of the rural school district is $2,108,242. 35 or approximately 72 per cent of the total. This Is the amount that can be levied without a vote. The amount in excess of the base is $598,054.51, or ap proximately 28 per cent of the total, and is the amount that will be subject to vote. This excess applies to the equalized levy portion of the budget only, since by law ever since the enactment of the Rural School Law In 1947 the operational budget is with In the tax base and is the first charge against the total levy. Incraaia in Budget The increase in the total budget from $2,360,117.13 for the current year of 1961-62, to $2,761,337.40 for 1962-63, is $401,220.27. Ninety-six per cent of the total increase is in the equalized levy. This In crease of $381,411.08 Is an amount determined by law. This leaves 4 per cent, or $17,803.31 of the total Increase which is subject to action by the rural school district budg et committee. Money tor the required levy is apportioned to al' dis tricts on an average daily membership or average dally attendance basis. Purpose of the county equalized levy is to assist districts which have a low assessed valuation, com mittee members pointed out. Operational Increases The increases in the opera. tionnl budget arc largely in administration. The curricu lum matcrinls center budget Increased from $97,661.83 to $100,024.28. or $2,362.75. Major increases in the ad ministration burgct arc: 1. Inclusion of certain funds to comply with the budget law which includes $1,300 of the state district re organization funds, and $4,000 of state reinburscment for the curriculum I m p r o v cment plan, for a total of $5,300. The funds had not been a part of the budget previously. However, these funds are "in and out" items, and do not constitute a tax levy. SaWry Increetet 2. Salary Increases and ad ditional personnel. The total increase in salaries for pres ent personnel, professional and clerical In the adminis tration budget is $3,001. The Increase In professional salaries are based on a survey of positions In other county offices and olher school posi tions requiring comparable qualifications and responsibili ties. Salaries for clerical staff are based on the 1961 revision of (he recommendations of the schedule prepared for the county in 1958 by (he civil service commission, the budg ed committee noted. Additional personnel was added in the administration department. One was a pro fessional person designated as a special program director to handle such programs as the county testing program, spec ial education and in-service programs, plus others. The other is a bookkeeper secretary to help handle the additional repsnnsiblllties placed on the office by law; all budget responsibilities and accounting are now handled by the county school office, a part of which had previously been handled by the county clerk's office; and the assump tion of all educational respon sibilities on the county level previously carried by three other boards. Included In Latltr The latter Includes the dis trict boundary board, the non high board, and the district reorganization committee. U ! includes also extra work in volved in special programs such as the able and gifted study program, curriculum . Improvement plan, In-service: and special education and oili er in-service programs in , place of the traditional coun-1 ty institute, according to th" budget committee. .1. Increase in the able and gifted study program from Sl.ono to 58.600. This is start ' I reimbursed In the amount of $4,300. 4. Increase in equipment from $310 to $1,240. This is largely for office equipment which has not been replaced for some time. Remit of Decrease The increase in the required I lew is mainlv the result of a decrease of available rccipts, from $92,973.76 to $55,040. 54. Federal funds from the National Defense Education Act are reduced from $30,875 to $9,500, a reduction of $21, 375. For 1961-62, there was an available cash balance of $12,060.20, and no cash bal ance is anticipated for the next year. Increases In ihe required levy by the rural board also are the results of the fact that all levy responsi bilities for the operational budget must now be carried by the rural district. Previ ously, figures show that 20 to 35 per cent of such were cov ered by the Jackson county budget, the budget committee said. After a thorough study and survey of various county of fices, the legislative interim committee last wc9k said "There must be something be- , tween the school districts and I the slate department." A Unit jed Press International story siaiea mere appears to Be little or no support from the committee for abolishing the county offices outright . . . " Some changes will be recom mended, however.
