School Board approves budget
Kings Mountain's Board of
Education officially approved its
1991-92 budget requests of
$3,543,335 at Monday night's
meeting.
The budget includes $1,650,000
current expense and $300,000 capi-
tal outlay requests from Cleveland
County commissioners. If those re-
quests are not fully granted the
budget will have to be amended.
The only change from the pro-
posed budget presented by Dr. Bob
McRae at the previous month's
meeting was a request for $1,473
for Kings Mountain's pro rata share
of a new activity bus for North
Shelby School. The school serves
handicapped students from all
three county school systems.
No one spoke during a public
hearing on the budget and the
board unanimously approved it
without comment.
In addition to the requests from
the county, the budget also includes
$1,270,000 from Kings Mountain's
local supplemental tax and
$155,193 from the system's fund
balance. Kings Mountain's supple-
mental tax is 17 cents per $100 val-
uation and the system is authorized
to levy up to 20 cents.
Dr. McRae said of the 7.5 per-
cent increase in requests from the
county, and 9.5 percent increase
overall, that 6.8 percent is required
for continuation of current pro-
grams.

nual Service Awards Banquet
