EDUCATION COSTS
During a series of town hall meetings set to begin tonight, the Clark County School District will ask the public to decide which of its programs and services should go if Gov. Kenny Guinn's tax increase proposals fail. The district faces up to $156 million in cuts if Nevada's education funding remains unchanged. About 55 items are candidates for the chopping block in the areas of student activities, school environment and student instruction. Some of the proposed cuts or reductions are:
• High school athletics, $6.3 million
• High school Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), $1.3 million
• High school busing, $5.6 million
• Teacher training, $1.8 million
• School police, $9.5 million
• Technology services and support, $16 million
• Elementary art specialists, $10.7 million
• Elementary music specialists, $10.8 million
• Gifted and Talented Education program, $7.7 million
• School instructional supplies, $27.5 million
• Middle school and high school counselors, $22.3 million
• Middle school and high school music programs, $600,000
• Central office business and personnel costs, $26.4 million
• Groundskeeping, $7.1 million
• School administrators and staff, $129 million
• School librarians, $17 million
• Elementary class sizes. For each increase to the student/teacher ratio, $2.28 million is saved
• Campus hall monitors, $4.5 million
