He spoke of the need to monitor programs more closely, to be aware that “so much is hidden in the federal code.” He was then asked if he was willing to have his daughter, whom he had identified as being in a program for the gifted, learn without federal dollars. He responded by asserting that as little as $75 additional funding is provided for gifted students, while as much as $44,000 is allotted per special education student. He called for both ends o f the spectrum to have equal access to the same resources. When Dunton was asked to explain what he meant by “sound financial management, he used the example of setting aside one-time funds from a lawsuit and from the sale o f unused land for such innovations as establishing low student- teacher ratios in freshman and sophomore English. Kilponen Something's got to give. said it was sound financial management that allowed the district to maintain buildings, provide textbooks and offer arts instruction despite the hardships since Proposition 13. Berning countered that if there “had been sound financial management, the district would not have had to ask taxpayers for money because of Citron.” In closing statements Kilponen said the strength o f the district is in good money management and good staff. Beming took the opportunity to acknowledge that it “is obvious it is a good district. I have my child go here. But if dollars can be deposited, why are they being invested? Closing his question-and-answer session participation as he opened it, Dunton make his statement a response to Beming’s comments: “The TRANS (Tax and Revenue Antici­ pation Notes) pool allows us to borrow in anticipation of future taxes to cover current costs— not to invest— and that is what we used it for.” (Dunton later offered this expanded explanation: Most of the District’s funds come in December and in April after Maybe it's you. property taxes are paid. The notes are used to borrow money for current expenses in the period between July and December when little money is coming into the district. Anticipated tax revenues are used as security. School districts band together to issue notes so that the pooled offering can command better rates. The note sale must be approved and handled by the county.) FSD Candidates Forum Continued from p. 8 next year and after, Chavez said, “No idea. I bet the State monies are going to dwindle away, but it ’s so important. I really want to see the reduction continue into the 2nd grade.” Sugarman stated this year we had received more money from the State than expected to help finance class size reductions in the primary grades K-3. Every school site council was asked to decide how it was going to create the extra teaching stations required. They did this but it still resulted in a substantial encroachment on our General Fund. We have now used every The line separating your life from the things you fear is getting thinner. drop of money. If the State does not come through with enough extra money to continue, we will have to sit down with parents, But the violence that comes from hatred and misunderstanding won't stop until everyone teachers, and administrators to decide where to go from here, reaches out and lends a hand.

Pugh agreed, “If the State reduces the funds, we will have to in schools, neighborhoods, workplaces and police departments to build bridges of understanding. apply our skills and find a way,” he said hopefully. Please call now. Because something's got to give. And it begins with you. Guth was somewhat less enthusiastic. “Some 20:1 parents are ecstatic; parents in some other grades a ren ’t sure it ’s appropriate,” “Class size reductions are important but it may be unrealistic to do for the second grade. We just d o n ’t have the space,” she said. “In the absence of more State class size reduction dollars, we Human Relations have to hope for a boost in the annual Cost of Living Adjust­ ment (COLA),” said Gomez-Amaro. “If that d o e s n ’t happen, w e ’ll have to do some fundraising. Now that we have an Educational Foundation as a last resort, we d o n ’t have to throw in the towel,” she added. Property of Fullerton Public Library, Local History Room
