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.
Three members nf the rural
school board will be elected
for three year terms to the
seven-man board on Monday.
They include:
1. One from Zone .'q con
sisting of Eagle Point Dis
