THE NEW budget compares with a budget of $4,785,015 adopted for the 1967-6- 8 school year. The increase of $186,884 appropriated over last fiscal year is reflected in added costs in several departments, Superintendent Clarke N. Johnsen reports. Biggest increase was in teacher salaries of $185,000, and an $18,000 increase in maintenance of the school plant. LOSS OF Federal impacted school funds has required considerable added local funds to compensate for the Federal moneys, and forced the increase in taxes to support the schools of three mills this year. The increased tax revenue is expected to bring in $763,812 this next fiscal year compared with $638,747.92 received this year. Funds received from other Districts for students being educated in Tooele County Schools is expected to grow to $8,000 compared with $6540 for the past school year. RISE IN the cost of the school lunch program is reflected in the amount budgeted for 1968-69- : $304,600 compared with $6,540 for the past school year.
