Th«1 Nyssa School Board adopted a budget that has been in the process of development by the Budget Board and Administration since early last fall. Increases in this year s budget show the addition of two teachers at the High School Vocational level to carry on the program that has been fi nanced from Title III program through the Intermediate F«1u- cation Department.

The Clerical Lab offers young people an opportunity to develoo abilities to (unction adequately in an office. Last year School District No. 26 bought a truck chassis and Merildean Robbins put one of the old bus bodies on the truck. This budget proposes to buy a new bus and a panel to move smaller groups. The band uniforms included m the budget Is a much needed item for our excellent band. Approximately one-fourth of th«1 total increase is in the fixed charges. These include social security, retirement, in surance, and other costs that ar«1 difficult to control. Money is in th«1 budget for roof repair, blacktop of ele mentary playground area, in stalling of electrical outlets in each elementary room, and four rooms of ceiling til«1 to repair cracked plaster Money included in the bud get for additional transportation and added costs for Nyssa's re entry into the Greater Oregon Leagu«1 is necessary if Nyssa teams are to be ehgibl«1 for state competition.
