LOOK-SEE Nyssa school patrons will have an opportunity to approve or disapprove an amount of $71,029 outside the 6 . limitation Friday, April 26. This is a small part of the $895,000 total budget approved by the school board for 1968-69. If approved the tax levy in the district will go up about 7 1/2 mills and be about what it was (36.5) for the 1966-67 year. School operations take about two-thirds of all local tax money. And costs continue to rise at a fast pace. Increased salary costs, plus higher pensions and added Social Security will be about $61,000 higher than last year. Schools are our most important industry and if we want the best we naturally must pay for them. Many voters gripe about the costs and then fail to vote on election day. And, judging by attendance at local budget hearings, make little effort to have a voice in how the money is to be used. Next to the home and church nothing is so vital to the average family as the schools. Yet many parents have little knowledge of what they are doing with their own children. Are they learning to read? If not can they get an education? It must be quite a shock to parents to learn that their children have passed from grade-to-grade without being able to read and then learn of it only when they have reached the upper grades and are placed in a remedial reading class. Teachers should share a large portion of the blame in these cases but parents are also at fault in not discovering the in ability sooner, learning *HY and then doing something about it. We are not implying these conditions now exist in local schools but do know it has happened before. It is much more important to know if your child is learning as he should than the $71,000 you’ll be voting on Friday. Why not take a LOOK-SEE at your local school. We did recently, on a small scale, and were agreeably surprised. BOWLERS TO MEET ------ Tl HOMEMAKERS’ x ~ \ festival set r---------- Z ww T -w T a ectors. They will be elected for two-year terms.
