as Grinnell told the school board
budget the budget would allow the
and district to continue its broad and
diversified education program,
but, that it did not allow much
salary increase for staff members.
The budget was completed
before the final effect on state
\

completed legislative session is
fully known.
Among the anticipated
receipts are $284,521 from local
taxes, $287,000 from county

from federal funds along with
other sources.

for instruction, $32,900 for pupil
services, $72,500 for food
services, $159,400 for pupil
transportation, $186,450 for
operation of plant, $46,400 for
maintenance of plant, $500 for
community services and $2,500
for payment to other districts.
The 1971-72 budget compares
to a budget of $2,439,181 for the
current year.
The budget is based on a
projected enrollment of 3,045
compared to 3,012 of actual
enrollment for this year.
Commenting on an increase
from $9,000 to $19,000 in the
allocation for insurance on the
district's buildings in the budget
for the coming year, Grinnell
commented it was difficult and
more expensive to get insurance
on public buildings because of
incidents of destruction and
vandalism in recent years.
He said insurance companies
are no longer interested in
insuring public buildings.

warning two white men who were
fishing that they needed a Tribal
permit. Rasmussen was nearby in
uniform and on duty.

arrest me". Dennis said he gave

The county and state have

River.
One of these regulations states
thai non-tribal members must
