One mill is a $1 tax on every $1,000 of as- sessed value. But School Board President Jim Mahon said that members have no idea what the real budget numbers will be. He has repeatedly expressed doubt about the figures that district business manager Kathleen Williams provided to the board. “We have no confi- dence in any numbers,” he said. Williams’ figures show rev- enues will fall short of spend- ing by about $1.2 million. But Mahon said a tax increase is not needed based on experi- ence. He said the “gloom and doom” Williams had predicted in ‘past budgets had not oc- curred. He said the district plans to advertise for a new business manager and he wants finances examined from the past six or seven years. “I do plan to bring in an auditor.” In other business, the board hired teacher Thomas Williams as the child accounting officer at a salary of $66,000 and as. athletic director at a stipend of $6,433. The board, at its work ses- sion earlier this month, had noted its intent to ‘hire Williams at a salary of $61,068. Mahon on Wednesday said the figure of $66,000 reflects what Williams would make in the coming school year if he had remained a teacher. : The child accounting - cer’s duties include servi" truant officer and handling the paperwork involved in account- ing for student attendance. Ma- hon said it is not a new posi- tion and that it is critical due to the federal No Child Left Be- hind requirements. Williams, who had served as assistant athletic director, will replace retiring athletic direc- tor Richard Gorgone. The as- sistant’s position that paid $3,500 will be eliminated. New board member sworn in By MARK GUYDISH For The Post DALLAS TWP. — New Dal- las School Board member Dan Nulton was sworn in at the Luzerne Courthouse June 24 rather than waiting for the next board meeting. “We'd like to get him sworn in,” said President Dave Usav- age. “There’s no other reason than that, why not do it now?” The board appointed Nulton near the end of a marathon meeting June 14 to fill a seat vacated when Deborah Morgan- tini resigned. The 5-2 vote, with one ab- stention, sparked rebuke from board members Maureen Ma- tiska and James Richardson. They complained there was no notice the vote was coming and that no one interviewed any of the candidates. They also noted a possible conflict of interest because Nul- ton is the chief executive officer of Landmark Community Bank, where the district deposited TRH CHEE TTR Sidewalks * Floors * Patios * Driveways ° Etc. roughly $6 million in February. The day before Nulton’s swearing in, Matiska said she didn’t know about it until told by a reporter. She said the board could have been told June 21 when they met to inter- view teacher candidates. Usavage conceded that, j- tionally, new members sworn in during public board meetings, but said that it is not legally required. He said it makes no difference when or where the swearing in is held, as long as the appointment was done at a public meeting. | The school board will meet Tuesday, June 29 at 7 p.m., with the main topic being adop- tion of a final budget for the 2004-05 school year. The pre- liminary budget adopted in May calls for a 7.6 percent property tax increase to 213 mills. It also reduces the fund balance by using about $1 gail- lion for operating expenses | This article appeared in orig- inal form in the Times Leader.
