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.
