School Stand-Off
Goes Unresolved
The school budget stand-off
which has set county residents on
edge in recent weeks was not
resolved Wednesday morning.
By the end of an hour-and-a-
half meeting with the Polk
County Board of Commissioners,
Polk County Schools Supt. Dr.
James F. Causby had agreed to
chop his local funding request by
$79,920, from SI.979,920 to
$1,900,000.
But the commissioners were
sharply divided as to whether
they could, or would, increase
their proposed local allocation to
the schools by the $160,000
necessary to meet that figure.
Commissioner John Edwards
proposed that the county increase
its proposed budget allocation by
$100,000. Jeannie Martin wanted
to see the entire $160,000
allocated.
“What we have agreed to here
is to both go home and do some
more work on it,’ said
commissioner Ken Faulkner.
At least twice during the
meeting, which was also attended
by school board members
Georgia Pack and Phillip
Pleasants, County Manager
Steven D. Wyatt suggested that
the discussion just be ended.
See no move toward
compromise, Wyatt said, If
there’s no flexibility, we might as
well call this to a close and move
on to EMS (budget hearings). We
have a lot of work to do."
Rachel Ramsey spoke the
loudest for the position that the
