Polk Schools Can
Rehire PE Teachers
With Extra $160,000
Polk County Schools will
receive $160,000 from North
Carolina's newly established
Small School Fund.
Tiat's the word Supt. James
F. Causby got from state offi
cials recently when he and other
superintendents gathered to
assess the state budget.
Tie small school fund money
more than offsets other revenue
losses, Causby said Thursday.
"We're in good shape," he
said.
Causby said the county
schools will now be able to
rehirc two physical education
teachers who were facing
reduction in force lay-offs.
Causby said he expects to be
able to add part-time guidance
counselors at four elementary
schools, and a full time counse
lor at Tryon Elementary.
In addition, the money will
allow the schools to offer art
programs for Green Creek, Mill
Spring, Sunny View and Saluda
elementary students, with 1.5
art teaching positions.
All the news was not good.
The county lost about $35,000
from its energy fund, along with
clerical and custodial salary
money.
Also cut was the salary bonus
money provided by Senate Bill
II for staffs in schools meeting
their goals.
"We could have been hurt a
lot worse," Causby said.
