Preliminary School
Budget Set At
$419,805 for 62-63
The Nome School Board Tues
day evening prepared a preli
minary budget for the 1962-63
school year of $419,805.25 of which
the district portion amounted to
$135,910.33. However, federal
moneys and state tuition would
cut this figure to $84,310, and it
was pointed out that additional
federal aid may be forthcoming.
The preliminary budget will be
sent to the City Council for their
study but it will not be adopted
until in the spring when the coun
cil will set the tax rate
The school administration proj
ected a schx>l enrollment of 713
I with 35 teachers next year.
Hie board received and re
viewed the school's civil defense
plan, which will be coordinated
with the city program.
The board instructed the school
superintendent to plan to offer
a course about communism as
soon as practicable. This would
necessitate securing teaching ma
terials and a qualified instructor.
The board acted in the belief
that from a strict “leave it alone”
attitude, the pendulum is swing
ing to a belief that Americans
must understand Communism in
order to understand word events
—and the classroom is the proper
place to teach about Communism.
The board discussed changing
the school reporting period to
nine weeks from the present six.
The change is felt to be neces
sary since the state requires its
reports on the nine-weeks basis
The superintendent was instruct
ed to investigate the matter and
make a recommendation at the
next meeting. He was also in
structed to investigate the prep
aration of informal interim re
port cards for parents on the
childrens’ school program, pos
sibly every four and a half weeks.
In the high school the single
report card is to be replaced by
individual subject cards starting
with the next school year. This
is a practice carried out by most
hitft schools of the same size.
A $800 merit scholarship for
a teacher each year was voted,
so that the recipient could at
tend summer school and upgrade
his or her academic standing.
The scholarship would be limited
to teachers having spent at least
three years in the Nome school
system.
The board will award the
scholarship during the graduation
exercises in the spring and will
be based on teacher evaluations
and in the board’s view, the re
cipient’s value to the school.
Following the regular business
meeting in an executive session,
High School Principal McCormick
and Elementary School Principal
Beauchamp presented evaluations
of the new teachers.
