BOOR 16 PACE 5 <br />would be eliminated. If not, it would remain open to those students who <br />were not redistricted to another school. The capacity for students at <br />Jonesboro is 480 and the current enrollment is approximately 500. This <br />should change somewhat when the year-round school is complete and <br />when the School Board goes through the redistricting process. <br />3. By position, how much local supplement is paid to central office staff? <br />Seven staff members receive $2,505 each, one staff member receives <br />$5,900, one staff member receives $20,000 and two staff members receive <br />$10,000 each. <br />4. What is the role and function of various Assistant Superintendents in the <br />central office? <br />The administrative staff consists of one Assistant Superintendent, one <br />Associate Superintendent, and one Administrative Assistant, all of which <br />report to School Superintendent Steve Wrenn. <br />5. It is our understanding that new uniforms were purchased for all band <br />members except color guards and majorettes, if true, why? <br />Band uniforms are only purchased for members who play musical <br />instruments. Color guards and majorettes are considered to be auxiliary <br />components of a marching band. Those who wish to try out for a position <br />with the band know before hand that they must purchase their own <br />uniforms. The Band Boosters can help those who have difficulty <br />purchasing same. <br />6. If the Board of Education had $722,727 in fund balance available for <br />appropriation in local current expense as of March 13, 1997, when the <br />need for funds for band uniforms was so pressing, why did you not ask for <br />permission to transfer funds from current expense to capital outlay? <br />The fund balance varies from week to week and was different at the time <br />the request was made for the band uniforms. Upon a review of the fund <br />balance in April, it was determined that an alternative funding source would <br />be appropriate. <br />7. Under the projected new state salary/bonus plan, what additional money <br />could a qualified teacher earn next year? <br />03 <br />There could be a minimum increase amount of 4% with the potential for a <br />20% increase. <br />
