ool The Dallas School District Board of Directors has appro- ved a proposed budget for 1973- 1974 of $3,972,958. The present tax rate $& 58 mills on real estate will be continued. The proposed budget represents an increase of $426,689. New salary schedules and rising costs of materials and supplies represent a significant portion of the proposed increas- ed expenditures. Renovations, repairs, and equipment for buildings also represent sizable expenditures. Additional ex- penditures are planned for pupil transportation as required under Act 372 for non-public school students and in areas where hazardous walking conditions prevail, even though such areas are within 1% miles of the school. The Dallas Board of School : Directors has established prior- i ities for making instructional | improvement within the educa- tional plan and budget for 1973- 1974. Providing quality pro- grams at reasonable cost i becomes increasingly difficult | as costs increase in all areas. Wise spending and optimum use 3 of federal support has enabled | the district to offer the most appropriate scholastic experi- ences while retaining the pre- sent tax rate. The district’s state revenue is scheduled to be $1,963,334 which represengy an increase of $125,163. Tie state instructional subsidy to the district is based upon the number of pupils enrolled and the district’s abi- lity to financially support edu- cation as shown by the market value of the district’s real estate. According to the state subsidy formula, the rate of state aid decreases as districts show evidence of being able to provide more local financial support. As the market value per pupil increases, the state reimbursement per pupil will gradually decrease. Federal assistance for edu- cating flood related students is a primary source of revenue in the proposed budget. Public Law 81-874, section 7 (a), pro- vides funds to help districts meet increased instructional costs related to the disaster. Approximately 400 pupils have entered the district as a direct or indirect result of the flood. The enlarged enrollment causes increased costs for in- struction. P.L. 81-874, 7 (a) offers funds to meet instruction- al costs for these pupils attend- ing school. The proposed budget estimates the district will re- ceive $231,257 based upon the number of flood related pupils and the number of days they have attended school. The proposed revenues for 1973-74 school year included local, State, Federal revenues and a cash balance from this school year. Administrative expenditures amount to $168,529 with instructional services cost- Members of the Lake- Lehman High School Band and their director, John Miliauskas, : having recently won two first wn prizes in the Shenandoah National Apple Blossom Pestival in Winchester, Va., will put forth every effort to add to their achievements when they travel to Sherburne, N.Y., June 9 to compete in the annual mn Pageant of Bands.

In a letter to the school board, Dr. Linford Werkheiser, Dallas School District superintendent, explained that the addition of two and possibly three teachers in the elementary school, two teachers in the junior high school and additional mainten- ance men were responsible for the increase in instructional and service items on the proposed budget. ; There has been a noted in- crease in elementary school pupils. Recent establishment of reading and mathematics in the elementary units. An inquiry-based social studies program will also be initiated.
