CARD
Deschutes County, Oregon, September 18, 1979 NO.
ADMINISTRATIVE SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. I
TAX LEVY OUTSIDE THE CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATION
PROPOSAL
1. Shall Administrative School District No. 1, Deschutes County, levy
$1,445,849 outside the constitutional limitation for the fiscal year
1979-80?
EXPLANATION OF THE BALLOT QUESTION
Without the approval of the voters the school board has authority to
levy only the tax base of the district, which is $8,327,125.00. This sum,
together with available non-tax revenue, is insufficient to provide an
education program adequate to meet the needs of the children of the
district.
If this measure is approved, the operating budget to be financed by
local taxes for the year 1979-80 will be $2,739,240 greater than the
1978-79 operating budget.

QUESTION
2. Shall Sisters School District #6 levy $560,269 outside Oregon Consti-
tutional limitation for district operation during 1979-80 year.
EXPLANATION
Budget increases are necessary because of the inflationary economy
and the exceptional growth in the number of district students. If this
measure is approved, that portion of the operating budget to be fi-
nanced by local taxes for the 1979-80 school year will be $205,210 less
than that portion of the operating budget financed by local taxes for
the preceding year.
