Voters put Rutland schools in a bind RUTLAND (UP1) Rutland school officials are faced with the prospect of running Vermont's second largest school system on funds appropriated through a $3.80 city charter tax limit which commissioners feel is out of touch with the times. The only alternative seems to be to return to the voters for a second referendum in an effort to fund a record $4.5 million school budget.

Voters Thursday rejected a 37- cent increase in the school tax rate. The measure passed in only Uiree of the city's nine wards. Only about 14 per cent of the city's eligible voters went to the polls.

They said the voters have issued their mandate on the question, and that the budget must be trimmed by either drastically reducing programs or staff. Commissioner Charles Smith suggested the schools be run until the funds run out and schools would have to close. The board has scheduled a special meeting next Tuesday to decide what action to take.
