Absent: Mr. Cox. <br /> <br /> Councilors held a preliminary discussion about the School budget proposed by the <br />School staff, and heard budget projections from School staff. <br /> <br /> Ms. Arletta Dimberg, Acting Superintendent, and Mr. Ron Hutchinson, Assistant <br />Superintendent, said that a 3% increase in local revenue and an additional $835,000 from the <br />state are anticipated. Staffs budget includes a 3.5% salary increase. In addition to the <br />budget School staff have submitted to the School Board, the following special City <br />appropriations are being recommended: $54,440 for the CLAS/S program; $112,747 for <br />preschool initiatives; $26,000 for drug education, and $225,000 for the alternative school. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cole Hendrix, School Board member, said that he feels these special appropriations <br />should be made part of the School Board's budget, and Mr. Toscano said that it is probably <br />time to do this, but the question is the appropriate level of funding. <br /> <br /> Adding two additional four-year old classrooms was discussed. Also discussed was the <br />extent to which a full-day four-year old program begins to serve day care rather than <br />educational needs. <br /> <br /> <br />
