Operation of School Plants
Line items in the category of operation of school plants show only slight increases, both in the basic and recommended budget figures. The only significant jump comes in sewage disposal. In the recommended budget, Bloomer allowed for $8,000 for installment of an aeration system at the elementary lagoon.
Likewise, maintenance costs in the basic and recommended budgets show only slight increases over the current year’s appropriations. The largest expenditure in this category is expected to be $17,000 for replacement of half the roof at the elementary school.
