will go from 8.3 percent of the current budget to 8.9 percent of the proposed budget. Most of this increase is due to adding two more bus routes to the schedule.

The cost of operations and maintenance is scheduled to increase from 6.7 percent of the budget to 6.9 percent. Included in that portion of the budget are $9,100 for repairing the heating controls at the elementary school, $15,000 for work on the high school sewage system, $3,800 to provide hot water for the showers in the locker rooms, and $600 to divide another mobile unit for the additional special education class.

The increase in food service from 1.1 percent of the budget to 1.4 percent creates a false impression. More funds for food service have been received this year than were included in the budget. The funds collected from teachers and students for lunches served are not included in the budget. The budget includes only federal and state monies.

(Editor’s note: The state has added $i,100 to its funding of the school system budget, which was announced by Dr. Gangel Tuesday night after this story and its pie charts were prepared.)
