I The Outwiiie Herald WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8. 1960 Directors Change Name Of Brokenstraw District YOUNGSVILLE, June 1 Brokenstraw Valley School trict is the official name of the new public school unit which on July 5 replaces the present Brokenstraw Valley Joint School system. The change is more than nominal. It is Voters in the jointure's five districts overwhelmingly balloted in the May primary for a merger. The merger is to centralize administration, be controlled by a single board and is to equalize taxation.

The board met here last night to consider the annual budget. The board voted to adopt the new name. Only two of the 25 directors were absent. The joint board meets once more, on June 21, before it becomes the Brokenstraw Valley District Board. All present school directors will continue to serve until their present terms expire.

Eventually there will be seven directors, one from each district plus two members at large. A tax cut was promised when the merger issue went before the voters. Real estate millage under jointure ranged from 17.2 to 29.8 mills. Under merger the budget can be financed on a tax program based on 17.1 mills, school authorities said. The budget studied last night was based on 17 mills.

The per capita tax was levelled off at $5, half of what it had in all but one of the five districts. H. J. Sherwood, supervising principal, said considerable guesswork had necessarily been involved in preparation of the budget. The budget committee had been a "bit liberal" in estimating some of the figures, such as building site costs, because there was no way of knowing at present what they would be.

"We do know, however, that by the end of the coming year we had better have bought and built on some new school sites," Mr. Sherwood said. "And we also know that we no longer need budget to zero as we did under the old set-up. I believe the anticipated budget balance of $14,694 for 1960-61 is a very reasonable one." The recommended budget totals $636,939. It is based on the following estimated expenditures general control (office costs) instruction $393,181:.

auxiliary (transportation, cafeteria, mediand similar items) operation maintenance fixed charges 900; debt service capital outlay $21,300. Anticipated income of $651,633 will be derived from sources including $428,002 in reimbursement, $158,902 in taxes, 90 per cent collection, and estimated balances to be turned over to the merged board by districts amounting to $64,729. Subject to acceptance by all of the individual boards, and sufficient advertising, formal tion of the budget and tax program will become final at the June 27 meeting of the joint board. A new salary schedule, completing changes adopted last year to put the system on a more competitive basis for attraction of teachers, was The scales will compare with Warren and most districts coming parable in size outside the counIty, Mr. Sherwood said.
