Eastchester OKs School Budget Eastchester commuters hur- ried off delayed Pe»n Central trains recently and joined their neighbors in approving the School District 1 $517 million budget, 1,550 to 1,039. More than 2,500 voters also elected to three-year terms on the school board Muriel Hahn and Martin A. Sokoloff, incum- bents, and Ronald Brotherton. All were unopposed. Passage of the $5,695,751 budg- et mandates a $2.34 tax rate in- crease. "We came in with one of the best tax rates in the county while maintaining educational excellence at the same time and this is what we sold to the peo- ple," Marvin Berry, district business manager, said. According to board member Ronald Lockhart, an "absolute minimum of new projects" was incoporated into the 1969 - 70 budget. Almost all budget in- creases were part of a< $250,000 package to teachers comprising a 6.9 per cent increase in staff salaries and increased hospitali- zation and insurance benefits. The minimum teachers salary was increased from $7,000 to $7,500 while the salary maxi- mum was boosted from $15,400 to $16,450. Blue Shield and Blue Cross benefits were also increased along with hospitalization and insurance benefits which will cost Eastchester District 1 about $40,000 per year. "The benefits we're giving out are not out of line with what is being provided by other districts and by private industry," Mr. Berry said. Civil Service employes who, like the Eastchester Teachers Association negotiated with the school board this year for bene- fits, will receive comparable salary increases and more gen- erous retirement qualifications, it was said. Mr. Berry also cited budget- ary increases brought about by a 15 per cent increase in tuition charges of the Board erf Cooper- ative Educational . S e r v i c e s (BOCES) and the creation of a post for a full-time coordinator of athletics and physical educa- tion. The Eastchester school board plans to cut costs next year through a five-cent increase in the cost of school lunches arid through encouragement of par- ticipation in the adult educa- tion program to establish the program as self-sustaining. This year adult education cost $4,000. R. H. GREGORY m Amherst Graduate Richard H. Gregory m, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard H.
