PL J Board News The Board of School Trustees of Polk-Lincoln-Johnson School Corporation, held a regular meeting July 26, 1966. The first order of business was to receive bids for coal, gasoline, and fuel oil for the 1966-67 school year. Bids accepted were from Foster's Petroleum Service of LaPorte for fuel oil at .0984 per gallon; Robert Reese for gasoline at .30 per gallon; Walkerton Oil Co. for gasoline at .306 per gallon, and from the Teegarden Elevator for stoker coal at $14.70 per ton. For other business, the board agreed to rent school cafeteria facilities to the Donaldson Lutheran Church for September 22, 1966. and discussed the proposed 1967 school budget in detail. The budget adopted by the board will present a tax rate of $4.15. The 1967 tax rate represents a .39 increase over the 1966 budget. The increase is due to loss of assessed valuation for the district ($674,806), .15 for restoring the Cumulative Fund levy to the original .75, as determined by the Indiana Attorney General's opinion of December 29. 1965, an increased teachers salary schedule, and due to three new faculty positions added for elementary instruction.
