The Dallas Post Dallas, PA SCHOOL Wednesday, June 12, 1991 15 163 gain degrees during Lake-Lehman graduation Lake-Lehman High School Principal John Oliver greeted 163 gradu- ates of the Class of 1991 as they gathered in the Edward H. Edwards stadium Monday night to receive their diplomas. Oliver told family and friends that he was proud of the group of seniors who had completed 12 years of academics. Senior class president Amy Harris compared the class members to art works she had seen in New York City and Valedictorian Michelle Richardson told her classmates that there is much more for them to learn, that there is no limit to their potential. Dr. Paul Niezgoda, a former Lake-Lehman graduate and salutatorian of the class of 1969, told the seniors that their journey was just beginning, that they had reached a turning point in their lives. He advised them to use their past for their perspective on their future. Salutatorian Christopher Kocher told his senior classmates to believe in themselves, not to be afraid of the future and not to be too serious all of the time. Anjanette Rodzinak, student council president, said that they were now ready for the next page in their future and to prepare to make their mark as they go out into the world. The Rev. Harriet Santos, a pastor at Shavertown United Methodist Church delivered the invocation and benediction. Lake-Lehman administration explains budget increases By CHARLOT M. DENMON a Writer * Lake-Lehman School District Superintendent Nancy Davis and other district official explained the reasons behind the proposed 25 mill tax increase at a press confer- ence June 10. Lake-Lehman approved recently a tentative budget of 176 mills, a 25-mill increase over the 1990- 1991 budget, for a total of $13,761,560 and the final budget will be adopted Friday, June 28, at 7:30 p.m., in the multi-purpose room of the Lehman-Jackson Ele- mentary Building. “The tentative budget is a bare bones budget,” said Mrs. Davis. “The state has not yet passed a budget and is in a state of flux. It appears our funding will not be in pitin to our expenditures so we ave to look at real estate taxes and the earned income taxes which places a severe burden on the property owners.” Business manager Raymond Bowersox said that no firm figures can be certain until the budget is passed in Harrisburg. “We have cut about everything we can possibly cut,” said Bower- SOX. MM Some of the items include a . cutback in instructional supplies, ‘planned development instruction Seing eliminated, sabbatical leaves Wrquested were accompanied by ‘increasing class sizes, elimination + Computerized Prescription Service “+ Russell Stover Candies « Greeting Cards « PA Lottery Ticket + Newspapers - Magazines Memorial Highway, Shavertown 675-1191 | Z of the summer program, eliminated $60,000 for equipment, elimina- tion of an additional custodian, no replacement of carpeting, no re- paving which had been planned for the next year, elimination of one teacher and possibly a second, and no renovation of the lavatories in one of the buildings. “The Governor has recom- mended that special education be turned back to the local districts,” said Davis. “We have an option this year and we believe we will save money by taking back our special ed classes this year (1991- 1992). We will have five classes and we will have five teachers from the LIU 18. At the same time, we will be paying for our present spe- cial education plus paying up front for 1991-1992. This means we will be paying 75% of 1990-91 and 1991-92 up front. “It is costing the district an ex- tra 8.2% as a result of the district having to add the state’s share of special ed costs as well as addi- tional nursing services we will have to provide for some of the special ed students. “Our debt service will increase 3.2% and we will have a 7.6% increase in salaries including Blue Cross-Blue Shield,” Davis con- cluded. The board members present agreed that there was little left to cut from the 1991-1992 budget although they were still working with it.
