district 158 DEFICIT WORSENS
District 158 has been inform¬ ed by Springfield that state aid for the 1979-80 school year will be significantly less than the amount received during 1978-79
The school board had pre¬ viously estimated that $270,680 would be available from the state during 1979-80, but has been informed that if the present state aid formula is not improved, the district will receive only $197,995, a drop of $72,685.
Housebill 513 (Stuffle), is passed by the legislature and signed by the governor, will improve the formula enough to provide $245, 403 during 1979- 80. This "improved" amount would help, but is still short of previous estimates by $25,277.
This drop in state aid has been caused by two related factors. Property values have increased by 12% annually during the past two years, while student enrollments have in¬ creased by only 4.5%. This difference of 7.5% actually means that less dollars per student are provided by the state, requiring more dollars at the local level.
The new projected deficit for 1979-80, after considering the actual state aid figures, equals $186,611. Without additional sources of revenue, it is clear that significant cuts will have to be made in the district program. Thus, the passage of the July 14 referendum is very critical
