School Board members expressed their views as well. Franklin Warner said that his only addition to the budget was for a reading specialist and that he was “somewhat embarrassed that we have to have the Board of Supervisors make cuts,” and Rose Ann Sharp observed that “it is important to talk more with the Supervisors (during the budget development process).”
Chairman Mills read Superintendent Gangel’s recommendations for budget reconciliation, and the School Board moved and adopted these recommendations with only one change and a vote of four in favor and one abstention (Aline Johnson). The amended recommendations are: to reduce the teacher salary increase to four percent (Dr. Gangel’s recommendation was a reduction of the increase to 3.5 percent) for a savings of approximately $80,000; to -defer RCHS telephone upgrade, and non-emergency asbestos abatement and monitoring for a savings of $51,000; remove new slots for an RCHS technology teacher and an RCES reading specialist (functions will be performed by existing staff or restaflfed positions) for a savings of $84,248; remove new school bus for a savings of $44,059; return to single subscriber health insurance for a savings of $20.00Q; and remove miscellaneous items for a savings of $15,729.
With regard to the teacher salary increase, it should be noted that the increase also includes one pay grade step that is equivalent to 1.5 per. cent, so that teachers will receive an effective increase of 5.5 percent for the school year.
