After more than 200 prelimanary school budget election defeats this year, Oregon school districts finally came in home-free and are operating normally — at least until they have to go to voters again next year. This unhappy situation is caused by two main factors. Increasing educational costs, representing about two-thirds of local property taxes, have been the chief cause of pro perty tax growth in recent years. Greater amounts of state funds are funneled into local schools every year, but on the average their percentage of total education costs is dropping. Second, most school district tax bases are inadequate. Most date back to 1916, except for the gradual 6 per cent annual increase allowed Constitutionally; only district voters may choose to exceed the growth lirr The Salem school district, for tax base because of increased example, has a Constitutional enrollment. tax base of $1.6 million.
