" Corn BOARD OF EDUCATION ASKS THE SUPPORT OF THE TAXPAYERS ON LEEWAY ELECTION The Board cf Education of the Carbon County School District an eiection on Tuesday, April 24, for the purpose of the taxpayers if they favcr a raise in the local school levy asking fvr the operation and maintenance of the schools of this district. If the proposition is approved it would mean in substance that there would be a 'possible raise in the local levy of approximately 4V2 mills. The Board would then toe permitted to levy any port of that amount that it found necessary for operation. A few facts should be considered by the taxpayers in their making a decision: of the total operating budget is spent for teach1. About 75 ers' salaries. The teachers of the Carbon County School District are among the lowest paid of any of the 40 school districts of the state. With the present money available, the Board is unable to pay any more for teachers' salaries. The securing of the services of teachers is a competitive thing and teachers are attracted to the better paying districts. The District loses consistently about 50 of the 210 teachers each year. Most of this loss is to districts that pay better salaries than are paid in Carbon. 2. Other costs of operation have increased materially such as materials and labor. 3. The finance law is so written that additional revenue is not provided by a rise in the assessed valuation. The amount of money that can toe raised is definitely fixed. 4. A taxpayer with an assessed valuation! of $1,000 would pay a maximum of $4.50 additional if the Board of Education were to levy the total amount voted. 5. If the proposition fails certain savings will be necessary. of the total budget the number of Since teachers receive about 75 teachers employed will have to toe reduced, resulting in heavier pupil loads. Maintenance costs will have to toe cut. Repairs, painting, cleaning, etc., will necessarily have to be lessened. Some money would be saved by having 9th and '10th grade students buy their own books and supplies. This would amount to $15 to $20 per student. The Board is now furnishing these but is not required toy law to do so. The Board of Education desires to hold our school standards as sees high as possible and after careful study of the financial set-u- p no way to maintain the present standards with the money mow available and as a consequence asks that the taxpayers vote "Yes" on the proposition.
