Show t DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL JULY WEEKLYREFLEX 17, 1980 if JW Leeway Election Or Levy Facing Board In Near Future By TOM Bl'SSELBERG FARMINGTON The Davis County Board of Education has opted to wait a bit longer before setting a voter leeway election. THE QUESTION could face voters in the September primaries or general November election if federal impact aid is lost. But the board won't know that until sometime next month. President Carter has said he wants to strip that funding, given to districts including Davis for students whose parents live and-o- r work on federal installations such as Hill AFB. If the pot goes dry, the school board could opt to ask voters for support of a mill levy mills. increase of from two-3'- 2 CONGRESS IS expected to act on proposed cuts by August. The matter is presently under consideration in committee, Supt. Lawrence Welling told the board Tuesday during their regular meeting. Two funding options are available. In February the board had talked about 874 (impact aid) funds. They passed a motion to use the emergency mill levy tw the Legislature made available at such time as it may be determined. WE ANTICIPATE if we lost all of our 874 funds that would take about 3 mills, he said. That would require total funding from Davis tax sources, however. Another option we have looked at is the voted leeway. If it was voted in favor it would take one year to go into affect while the emergency levy would go into affect the next THE VOTERS defeated a voter leeway last November that would have gone into affect in August. If a future such election brought approval, the district would receive state funding support. With a two mill levy the district could 7 receive about equal funding to a 3 'h mill levy where all funding was local, Supt. Welling said. An election would have to be held before Dec. for a leeway to take affect in the 1981-8- 2 school year, he said. 1 BOARD CHAIRMAN Lucile Reading emphasized all board members see the need for a leeway but dont know when an election should be held because word has not been received on impact cuts. Supt. Welling admitted the future is not clear when he said, No one knows what the future holds relative to costs. Emphasizing the district has already cut some programs thin he said, The commitment w e are asking our professional people in the coming year, tightening belts to provide the best program we can, may become a way of life, folks.
