San Miguel Basin Forum, Thursday, September 2, 1982-3 is year Classes are being combined, fewer teachers were rehired, and the possibility of some courses may be dropped if stu- dent enrollment continues to drop throughout West End Schools. "Union Carbide's two month delay in reopening couldn't have come at a worse time," stated Roy Johnson, Superintendent of West End Schools. "Our attendance count date is September 27 which is really going to be affected by Carbide being shut 'down," Johnson said. "Between 40 to 50 apart- ments and houses are vacant in the school district which shows population still decreased. With Carbide not recalling the 90 laid-off workers until Novem- lber,,our student count will be '~,~ low,' he added. When President Kennedy started the PL874 federal im- paction program, West End School received $74,000 the first year. This year, Johnson said that about $5,000 may be realized. "By next year we'll probably lose PL874 funds," he stated. State assistance may be somewhat higher this year, ac- cording to the report; but as- sessed wdulatitm will go down with a student count decrease, resulting in less local funds for West End Scholls. Salaries for bus drivers, cooks, custodians and teachers take up 82 percent of the bud- get. Cutting out three teachers saved the district $58,000 but still leaves the budget $21,000 short. Co~t for hospitalization premiums for employees has nearly doubled in one year. Johnson said that for a family, the cost went from $148 to $332. "We'll have to hunt for a different and lower quality in- surance at this rate," he re- marked. From two years ago,the to- tal population has fallen from more than 800 to just over 600 when school started last week. On May 27, 1982, total enroll- ment was 632 students. When school started August 23, 1982, the enrollment was ex- actly the same, showing no in- crease at all. "That's not good. We needed an increase," John- son st ressed. Loss and no increase of sttl- dents made adjustments neces- sary. In addition to not rehir- ing three teachers, Paradox and LIravan classes are being com- bined. There are 2.5 teachers for Paradox's kiuderga,'ten through 6th grade, and 3.5 teachers for the same grades at Otavan. "We're really going to have to be conservative when we prepare the 1983 budget," Johnson stated. With federal, state and local funds diminish- ing due io governmental ovts and student decrease, West F, nd Schools really feel lhe pinch t31" the depressed economy here.
