Show Added revenue keeps district cuts minimal Because of Public Land 874 funds and undistributed reserves, the legislature's 3'2 and State School board's cuts w ill have minimal effect ef-fect on the Uintah School District. Superintendent Wayne Reid explained explain-ed to board members last week that over payments from federal lands for maintenance and operation cost and capital outlay would add $179,800 to the district's revenue. The figure is based on the December 1980 audit. Also the board has $39,000 of undistributed reserves and $41,000 for readjustment at 90 funding for special education rather than estimated 82 funding. With the added funds, the district will only need to cut $37,436 to meet the two mandates. Dr. Ed Oscarson questioned whether the district would be forced to pay the state school board's lVz cut, because of no official word on the cut. The remaining $37,436 will be cut according ac-cording to each school's portion of student stu-dent population in the district. Uintah High School with 11 of the district's student population will be cut 11 of its allotted Maintenance and Operation budget or $5,990. The Learning Center will be cut the least, W. of $188. Superintendent Reid said that it will be left up to the principal of each school as to where the cut will come, but he expects ex-pects it will be in supplies, text books, and audio-visual aids. Reid said most principals were pleased that some money would be available since their budget spending has been kept to a minimum since the governor first mandated man-dated the 3W cut. |
