“State” School Budget
Of $14 Million Adopted
Robert Baldwin, Second divi
sion member of the Board of Edu
cation returned Saturday from a
meeting of the Board at which
time the school budget was pre
pared. Heretofore a two year
budget has been prepared but
due to the fact that the Con
stitution of Alaska calls for
yearly meetings of the legislature
only a one year budget was pre
pared this time.
A budget for the schools
through 1959-1960 was set for
$14,010,000. This included a
$1,057,000 deficiency request for
funds needed for the 1958-59
school year.
The biggest percent of the in
crease is in construction it was
reported and the deficiency is al
most the same amount which the
legislature cut out of the budget
at the last session.
