Show District to review budget The Alpine Board of Education will get its first formal look at the tentative school budget for 1984-85 this coming Tuesday, May 22, in public session at Manila Elementary in North Pleasant Grove at 6:00 p.m. The major portion of the meeting will be reserved for public input on any topic of interest or concern; however, board members will be given copies of the proposed Alpine District budget for this coming fiscal year in order to analyze its contents before its final adoption in June. "As it has been for the past couple of years, this budget is extremely tight," said Dr. Clark Cox, Alpine Superintendent. "We had wanted to hold a leeway election this year to raise needed funds but were unable to because of the legislative tax increases which did not add to our local program to any great extent. Several programs in the district have undergone budget cuts but we have managed to keep basic educational programs intact." The PTA will also be on hand at the session to present a brief report on the organization's activities in the district for the past year. A progress report on the nature and extent of counseling in the district will also be presented. |
