I I I I Don't slash positions yet, Carter school board told By Tom Kirkland Elizabethton Bureau ELIZABETHTON While some budget catagories are already overspent, a state cial consultant told the Carter County school board Monday that there is no reason to consider cutting positions yet. Dr. Diana Rogers, fiscal consultant for the state Department of Education, told the board that local property tax revenues are not yet meeting projections worked into the 1987-1988 budget, with the overestimation possibly as high as $112,000. Ms. Rogers said there is no reason to be overly concerned at this since the taxes may still come in.
Because of errors in registering special education students with the state, the school system may realize additional income, Ms. Rogers said. She said Carter County School Superintendent John Hall will have to submit the corrections before it will be known if financial adjustments need to be made. Ms. Rogers advised the board to be cautious in watching the property tax income and warned them that several line items in the budget have already been overspent.
She recommended transfers of funds between line items and catagories to cover the overages. "This is something you need to look at month to month so you can tie it down and make adjustments as needed," Ms. Rogers said. "You have no revenue to cover it (overspending), so you have to go over the expenditures." Board vice chairman John Neece pointed out to Ms. Rogers that the system spent $32,000 more than was budgeted in sever- One dead, two injured in pump explosion JOHNSON CITY PRESS, Tuesday, November 17, 1987 al line items.
The board passed a motion several months ago requiring any line item be frozen when its funds reached 8 percent of the total, but comments from board members indicated this has never happened. "It's close but I don't think its at the point yet to start laying off staff," Ms. Rogers said. Bill Richardson, a member of the Carter County Commission, told the board the commission was aware of the areas that are currently short in the budget but said he is almost sure the funds will be forthcoming. He said the commission is watching the situation closely because "we will not let it get out of hand again." While the board members were willing to discuss problems with the budget, the majority were apparently unwilling to discuss equal education for students.
Tony Haynes, president of the, citizen's organization VOTE (Volunteer Organization for Total Education), expressed the desire of his organization that the students in Carter County receive an education equal to that of Elizabethton students. "We don't see why a child in the county should have less opportunity than one in the city," Haynes said. "I would like to ask you individually if you see any reason why they should not have an equal opportunity and I would like you to go on record publicly. "The county parents would like to know." When he polled the board members, Chairman Bob Peoples, Neece, Dave Honeycutt and John Montgomery all said "no comment." Members Sam Greenwell and Murrel Holtsclaw told Haynes they think the children are entitled to the same educa- tion. "In answer, to your question, yes, all children are equal," Greenwell said.
Confusion among board members about the termination of a food service worker was cleared up when the worker, Joann Ham, told the board that a statement by Neece that she had resigned was not accurate. Ms. Ham told the board she did not resign her position but had told the food service director she would take a layoff to save other workers from having their hours cut. She questioned statements Neece made about her transfer from Hunter Elementary School in which he said she was. transfered to the school for no good reason.
"He said I'd been sent in from Hunter, but this makes three years I've worked there and if they didn't need me or want me why did they wait until now to tell me?" Ms. Ham said. "My question is am I laid off for lack of work or am I eliminated?" Neece settled the situation with a successful motion to put the board on record that Ms. Ham's position was eliminated due to lack of work. The board passed a new policy shortly thereafter making school principals and food service managers responsible hiring of cafeteria workers, eliminating that job from the food service director's job description.
Hall warned at the meeting that the Carter County Sheriff's Department will soon take drugsniffing dogs through the schools to search lockers and other widely used places in the schools. He said the dogs will not be used to search students. Court upholds convictions of ex-' Journal' reporter The Associated Press But the justices split 4-4 in ruling that the Securities and WASHINGTON.
