Dr. Roy Lindahl, Chairman of the Chapel Hill School Board and Dr. W. S. Cody, Chanel Hill School Superintendent, presented amended budgets, formerly approved by the School Board, to the County Commissioners for their approval. The amended current ex?:ense budget totaled $361,975 from County Sources and the amended Capital Outlay Budget totaled $704,450. Discussion ensued. The County Board of Education reviewed their budgets with the Board. They advised the Commissioners that the very least they could operate on this year was a Current Expense allotment of $71.00 per student. This situation results principally because of last years level of operation that allowed employment of additional teachers because of previous unexpended balances. They further stated that with the reduction of two teachers from last years total, the previously mentioned figure of $71.00 is the bare minimum with which they felt they could operate. Discussion ensued.
