Hauser 1 Special to the Chronicle i Superintendent James A. 2 Adams is not the villain he 1 was labled in recent news- < paper articles prompted by i his budget proposals. 1 Adams said of his pro- ( posed budget, "This is the most difficult budget to ] prepare that 1 have seen in ] 10 years as a superinten- 1 dent." < He listed his goals as: < to continue essential i programs as nearly as pos- 1 sible. i to include inflationary 1 ; increases only for fuel, 1 ; utilities and insurance (all 2 ; other accounts will remain ; at this year's level.) i to reduce staff as enroll- 2 : ment declines and financial < ; circumstances dictate, and ] - to provide a 5 percent < cost-of-living salary in- 2 crease to correspond with projected eute of runaway inflation, years J of deficit spending at the t national level, and efforts i t by the presept federal ad- v i ministration to halt the rate e of inflation, to cut taxes and t deficit spending, and to reduce the federal deficit. c A a a1 r a ? mi me leaerai level tne e president is seeking to cut e from 25 to 30 percent of the funds it allocates to educa- t tional programs. If these ^cuts are approved, federal funds coming into the local school system will be reduced from $8.3 to $5.7 million in 1981-82. This amounts to a cut of 30 percent and it will result in a significant reduction in the school's federally funded employee positions and piugiaiiLS. I The system gets 60 percent of its funds from the t state. The situation at the j state level is more uncer- 1 * tain than it has been in < recent years. However, un- 1 officially, the system has i been told to expect a 6 1 percent cut in state funds t IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIHIIIIINIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Freedom iiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiitiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii tucky State University and Howard University Law School.

The county government provided $28.6 million or 34 percent of the 1980-81 school budget. In view of the :urrent situation, it was iecided in the budget makng process that it would be jnrealistic to ask for an ncrease in local funds of nore than 6 percent, al:hough the inflation rate is iround 14 percent.

Dr. Adams hopes that all of the proposed budget cuts will not materialize. As bad as the situation is with respect to federal funds, a spokesman said "that the local school system may not be in as bad a condition as most school systems for they depend more heavily on federal funds. "If you are concerned about these budget cuts," the spokesman concluded, "get in touch with your j elected representatives at all levels and make your concerns known."
