Show Budget Approved By School Board The tentative budget of the Alpine school district for the 1933-34 school year was approved Tuesday by the board members following a hearing with representative committees from the various towns of the district. The budget provides for a total expenditure ex-penditure of $313,519.00 as compared to the 1932-33 budget of $352,650.00. Teachers salary account was cut ten percent, janitors ten percent, bus drivers a simular amount, the superintendent ten percent and the clerk a like amount. This makes a flat budget cut of twenty percent' and up to twenty-two percent from the salary schedule of two years ago. In addition to this the teachers have agreed to cooperate with the board in guaranteeing a full ac-! credited year in case the revenues fall short of the budget estimate for next year with a proviso that if revenues should exceed the budget 1 schedule they will participate in the additional revenue up to a point equal to the 1932-33 salary leveL The committee members who met with the board made several rec-commendations rec-commendations . among which was a further reduction of the superintendents superin-tendents salary, the elemination of the grammar grade supervisor, a greater cut of the high school principals prin-cipals salaries and that the lowest paid teachers salaries be not cut from last year's level. All of the committee were not in favor of the radical cut of the superintendents sup-erintendents salary but the majority passed the motion. A public hearing on the budget will be held some time next month before its final passage. |
