that there be no tax increase,”
Dr. Bennett said. “We tight- m
ened our belt, and have a very
conservative budget which
won’t raise taxes.”
The proposed budget is for
$13.6 million.
Assistant Superintendent
for Business Affairs Benson Jl
Fowler said that an increase"
in appraised values will bring
in $438,000 more in taxes than
last year. But he said that .
homeowners may keep E
$430,000 of that if they ap- m
prove the constitutional ■
amendment Saturday which ■
would increase homestead ex- E
emptions from $5,000 to
$15,000.
Fowler said that, while Gov.
George W. Bush has said the
state will make up losses school
districts incur because of the
passage of the amendment, the
rise in appraised values here
will offset that.

held every Saturday at 4:30
