The Cour_ty Board of Education met with the Board of Commissioners to present
its budget request for the coming fiscal pear. Their proposed Current Expense
budget totaled $662,$00.00. This sum amounts to approximately x136.00 par pupil
based on the A & E enrollment for the year just completed. The basic difference i
in the budget being presented now and the budget of the year just being

In the 621 Code area the County wants to increase the number of locally raid
teachers from 61s to 13. They also want to add !} additional teachers' aids and 2
janitors in the elementary school area. The new teachers reaueated would work ~

Principal. I
In the 622 area (Junior High School and High~School) the Board of 1•;ducation li
wants to increase the number of locally »aid teaahe~s from 9 to 15. Since they
lost two teaahera because of decreased enrollment during the past year the net I
teacher increase would be only four. These teachers would work in the area of
ri2usic, Art, Physical Education, Typing, French and possibly Auto iiechanics.

The 3oard of Education submitted a Capital Outlay budget request of X781,384.00
