PAGE 8-PLA1NDEALER -FRIDAY, JUNE 10. 1977 MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) this consideration, will the structure bring enough money so that the financial burdens that exist will not become greater0 A study indicates that operational costs with all students housed at West 'in­ cluding an addition to the present building1 would result in savings as high as $300,000 a year However, this would be realized only after the bonds are paid off. probably in twenty years. ; according to the Facilities committee report Recommendations for an answer to the immediate problem included zero based budgeting in all departments, each charged with the responsibility to prove a need tor a supply before money would be allocated No dollar savings has been estimated An overall review of the committee reports indicate the problem is not solved despite the great amount of effort expended On one point there is unanimity The board, ad­ ministrators and committee members feel the public will not be willing to assume the financial load of an increased tax rate in the amount deemed necessary to reduce the deficit by $600 ,000. On the other hand, the majority of Task Force members have been reluctant to make the necessary cuts June 14 is the date of the next meeting, following three weeks in which they have met to give further consideration to possible reductions. One thing is certain. The financial dilemma in District 156 is serious. Probably at no other time in recent years has the public been so aware of the schools' problems or so sympathetic to them But knowing this fails to alter the fact that the taxpaying public has its own financial problems As individuals, each of us must agree to make some sacrifice for the sake of good education in McHenry But the Task Force (also taxpayers) must realize the futility of asking for more money than there is any reason to believe the district will bear The name of the game is "Tightening the Belt". Everyone has had to do this at some time as an individual. While we believe educational leaders Jpcally view the situation practically and have attempted to operate the schools economically, there are few institutions as large as the McHenry school system which cannot find places to "tighten" if it is absolutely necessary And we sincerely believe it is necessary this year of 1977 before we ask for a tax rate increase so important to the district KAF We frame Rigid Frame widths 40 to 120 businesses!
