DuBOSE WARREN T. ZEUCH. JR. INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD VERO BEACH, FLORIDA - 32960 G...) July 9, 1969. To: Hon. Board of County Commissioners From: Dan K. Richardson, Chairman J. A. Thompson, Superintendent William H. McClure, Associate Superintendent' J. A. THOMPSON -- SUPERINTENDENT BOARD MEETS SECOND MONDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 1:30 P. M. This is 'a further request for additional financial assistance for the school budget made in behalf of the School Board. Since my last appearance with a similar request, we were able to take steps to produce a workable budget for next year without additional funds from the County Commissioners. •In order to produce a satisfactory budget,.it was necessary to take the follow— ing steps: 1. Levy .3 of a mill for the School Board's contribution to the Junior College, This was levied out of millage voted in the 1967 millage election. 2. Take .869 mills used last year from County General millage, and applied to the*Capital Improvement Budget. 3. Borrowed $211,000 under Section 237.27 Florida Statutes in June which will be repaid with a levy of approximately .972 mills from the millage voted in 1967. 4. Transferred $50,000 from the Capital Improvement Section of the budget to the Operating Section of the budget. With these steps at the present time our tentative budget shows only $60,724 in Contingencies. After this budget was prepared and just prior to a workshop session with the School Board held last night, we received a copy of an Opinion from the Attorney General that the School Board must pay commissions on all taxes levied and collected in their behalf. This will require an estimated additional $149,000 in the Operating Budget. At this time we have no source from which this amount can be obtained except to take it from the $750,000 budgeted for a new elementary school scheduled to be constructed during this school year. At the present time we are informed by Mr. Browne, who is in charge of pupil assignments, that the classrooms in the county now have children assigned that bring them up to approximate maximum capacity, so it is critical for maintaining a quality school system that the Board construct this school next year. our request to you is then for further consideration of our request for additional funds. 'Your favorable consideration will be deeply appreciated by the Board, by Mr. McClure and me. Respectfully submitted, A.
