000 school budget Miller estimated that between $130,000 and$133, 000 went toward administration costs. “I’d like to see administrative costs cut and the savings put into educating children.” Miller claimed that “one competent, energetic person,” working from 8 to 5, could do the jobs of Superintendent and principal. As to the increased workload, Miller maintained that “the more work an individual has, the more efficient he becomes.” Montague s assertion that the two hours of classes taught by the assistant principal would have to be replaced by a teacher with an $8,500 a year salary “is not efficiency in government,” said Miller.
MILLER claimed that consolidating administrative positions could result in a total savings of between $35,000 and $40, 000 that “could be directed to something that will teach the children.”
The School Board voted to advertise for a consolidated position, said Miller, “with no duress or pressure from either side. Have the courage of your convictions, stand on your decision and “act on it,” he advised the Board.
Montague listed the High School principal’s areas of responsibility in an attempt to clear up what he saw as a misunderstanding of figures for school overhead. The overhead does not amount to $120, 000, maintained Montague; instead, he thought $50,000 was more accurate.
George Davis had two questions. “Are we getting all the discipline at the High School in an efficient manner, and are we getting all the Federal appropriations we’re entitled to?”
“You asked two questions that are a matter of opinion,” Montague responded.
“Then are we getting all the Federal grants?” amended Davis.
“We believe so,” answered Nor“We
believe so,” answered Montague.
