The dial tone delays also affected 911 emergency service, said Bill Pohi, spokesman for Southwestern Bell. "It was unbeknown to us that It was going to happen," Pohl (aid about the morning' contest finale. "The central office is just not designed for to many people to call one number at one time." KXUS general manager Rich Nichol said Pohl was correct in that station officials wouldn't give the phone company an exact lime the final phase of the contest would begin.

ClAkS se Nf.A Ii. a jtion unionism $110,000 $110,000 By Leo Mullen The Leader Prese Springfield Board of Education mt-mber say they'll be hard pressed to offer employee more than a 3.7S percent cost-of-living raise next year.

That was the consensus after members agreed during a ttudy session Wednesday to cut nearly $500,000 from preliminary 1986-87 budget Final vote on those and other possible cuts should come next Wednesday during the board's June meeting. The board 1 expected to finalize the million budget during that meeting. The budget must be approved before July 1. Wednesday, officer of both of Springfield's teachers groups said the money freed up so far is inadequate compensation for classroom work. But board members said the cuts that have been made have already taken their toll on this and past budgets.

"I'm becoming concerned about the fact that we're deferring so many things not only equipment," aid board President Jackie McKinsey. "That" the road to disaster." The board cut $491,002 from the preliminary budget Wednesday, In May it cut $1.4 million worth of programs, service and equipment The combined cuts free up money for 3.75 percent cost-of-living raises. The board earlier this year set 4 45 percent a a targeted cost -of living raise. That figure, however, was arbitrary and based on larger revenue estimates, Superintendent Paul H.igerty said. The new budget Is estimated to be about $4 million more than the current budget New health insurance premium will add 0.42 percent to the employee benefit package and about two of every five teacher will receive an additional, salary increment for built- By Leo Mullen The Leader Press Ways exist for the Springfield Board of Education to offer teacher blpger raises, Springfield legislator told the board Wednesday.

At the request of Rep. Bob Maiden. D-I36h DiHrict, board members met with lawmaker Wednesday prior to cutting the budget to free up 3.75 percent cost-of living raise. Those $491,002 In cuts, however, did not provide all the money legislator recommended for teacher' salaries. At least one legislator requested 6 percent cost-of-living raises.

Legislator who attended weft state Reps. Doug Harpool, D- 134 th District, Joe McCracken, D- 139th, and J. Dan Wood all. 138th, and jtate Sen. Dennis Smith.

30th District Holden was unable to attend. Harpool and McCracken said new legislation allow school to spend protested property taxes and repay those taxes through a levy if the protest are upheld in court. The district has about $1.3 million in protested taxe for the current year and another $1 million in back taxet. Superintendent Paul Kagerty said tli district expect to receive only about $750,000 from the current year's taxes and that even if It re- couped all of the $1.3 million it would be needed to replenish the district' reserve. The board has a policy of maintaining 5 percent of the budget In reserve.

The reserve currently it more than the $1.3 million below that mark. Hagerty said. See SALARIES, Page 2A $75,120 $200,000 $65,000 $75,120 $203,000 000 $270,000 in salary steps for years of experience, Hagerty said. Sixty percent of the district's teachers are at the top of the 12-step salary schedule and so do not qualify for these increase. Item the board agreed to cut Wednesday were provision for lunchroom supervisors for the biggest elementary schools, three additional special-education teachers, a free evening high-school program, a $175,000 allotment for new equipment and $190,000 to provide elementary teachers with enough planning time away from students during the school day to meet the state' top standard.

As an alternative, the board discussed raising lunch prices 5 cents to 1 raine money to hire part-time aides to -supervise lunchrooms. Currently, principals or teachers in the elementary schools monitor lunchrooms. The district will continue offering the evening high-school program tor a fee. Ken Bass, president of the Springfield-National Education Association, said earlier this year that released planning time for elementary teachers would be his group's top priority.
