Mrs. Harris suggested that one possible solution to the budget crisis might be to seek alternative, private sources of revenue to meet some needs. “It would be a. tremendous challenge — but what if we could present the supervisors with a budget which increases by only five percent instead of 26 percent? . . .

Mrs. Harris, who founded and was director of Sursum Corda —now the Child Care and Learning Center — has 14 years experience as a teacher and administrator in both public and private schools, including two years at RCES. She now runs two small, home-based businesses. She and her husband Pat Foster, a contractor, have two young girls.
