You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist During the approaching months, much planning will go into the development of local school budgets. In many cases, you will be voting to express your appoval or disapproval. A budget is the translation of the quality and curriculum of a school in terms of money. The preparation of a budget involves the entire school staff. It represents building,s salaries, equipment, etc. A properly prepared budget is developed from the needs of professional and non-protessional employees. The superintendent of schools, afteq extensive discussion and evaluation, compiles a proposed budget which he presents to the board of education. Board members examine the recommendations in order to control the total cost, maintain a balanced program, and consider the effect on their educational philosophy. Special citizens' advisory committees are often appointed. Corrections are made. Public meetings are usuallj’ held to explain the budget. After final changes, the budget is presented to the Voters for approval. The school budget is an import-

ant responsibility for every member of the Community. It reflects the quality of the educational program. The cost of the program should be as reasonable as possible without sacrificing quality. Much is said about false economy. This implies low cost purchases of inferior quality which may turn out to be more expensive over the longer period. It might also imply savings which limit the purposes of the program. How can the local citizens make proper judgments concerning the school dudget? They can learn a great deal by attending meetings designed to explain the thinking behind the inclusion of specific items. They can attend board of education meetings and become aware of the aims and needs of the schools. They should express their opinions during these meetings. They should feel free to ask questions which will clarify their thoughts. The fact that a vote takes place means that a choice exists. Therefore, the community should express its opinions. Criticisms with constructive suggestions are most valuable during the planning stage. A budget which is voted down may have a destructive effect on a school system. Such a

result might be avoided by having a well informed community which participates in the preparation of the budget. Naturally, each citizen has the right and duty to vote. Question As an older member of my community, I have no children attending the public schools. I cannot understand my responsibility for supporting the cost of these schools. Can you clarify my thinking on this matter? Answer Education is everybody’s responsibility. Each citizen receives direct and indirect benefits. As a student you receive benefits in terms of your qwn growth and development. As a citizen you are benefited by the broad growth and development of society. The security of our nation is dependent upon our educational system. New York Stock Exchange Prices MIDDAY PRICES A. T. & T. 115.

614 Void Ballots In Wells County The Wells county clerk announced Tuesday that 614 ballots were voided in the recent election in that county. This included 104 state ballots, 180 county ballots, and 268 township ballots. Also, there were 62 voided ballots in Liberty East with no record indicating which ballots were thrown out. Some of the ballots were disputed and voided because of bearing unlawful marks or indistinguishable marks, but in most cases the precinct boards did not indicate the reasons for rejection. , 3 Firm partisanship can be blamed for a high rate of voided township ballots in Nottingham West, according to the Bluffton NewsBanner reporter. Precinct officials voided the ballots of 83 voters who cast straight Democratic ballots. There were no Democratic candidates on the ballot! Precinct tally sheets indicated that 9,173 persons voted in Wells county in the November 6 election. With a total voter registration of 12,343, the turnout at the polls amounted to 74%. 20 Years Ago Today Nov. 23, 1942 — Officials of the Mutschler Packing Co., which has been operated here since 1904, will quit business and liquidate its plant because of the government curtailment reducing slaughtering of animals for civilian consumption to 70 per cent of the 1941 total.
